what we do
Delivering the Vision
We often get calls from clients saying, “I have this concept in my head, but I don’t know where to start!” It takes experience and resourcefulness to break big ideas down into bite-sized pieces, but we have been working with nonprofits for over 25 years, and will do just that . We help organizations to build their marketing wish lists, prioritize use of limited funds, and ensure they are set up to make their vision a reality without breaking the bank.
Marketing needs to be seen as a whole, not individual shots. With the popularity and affordability of digital media, it is often promoted as the “must do.” To some extend, we agree; but only when it is part of a plan and only when in combination with other forms of marketing. Ideally, your social media is a way to promote traffic to your website. This means that your website needs to be in good shape. Same goes for signage, print, and more traditional forms of marketing or networking. We believe that they all work together to inform, create interest, and lead to a contact. This is why we plan marketing messages through mailings, creative designs in printing, through social media and websites in concert, as a way to engage and create action. Looking at the full communications plan before tackling any one aspect allows the big picture to be the goal, and the details to support the big picture.
Distinctly from agencies that only focus on one form of marketing, our multifaceted expertise ensures that projects are planned out to the detail, cross-media, efficient, and affordable.
Print is not dead. Digital is not the only answer. The answer to increasing engagement and retention is INTEGRATED MEDIA.
we help organizations succeed THROUGH CAREFULLY PLANNED AND EXECUTED COMMUNICATIONS
Planning & Branding
What you do, How, for Whom, and Why will define your organization's uniqueness. We will help you develop steps, a voice, a style, an image, and printed/online targeted messages to grow awareness.
Graphic Design
Boring does not get results. Good design is one that appeals to the emotions and the mind. Design is speech: it must be compelling, cohesive, coherent, creative, and targeted to get results.
