WE GET STUFF DONE.
APPROACH
&
PROCESS
We get the job done with a process-oriented approach we can scale to fit any marketing scenario, no matter the size or complexity. This proprietary approach has continuously proven its effectiveness throughout our agency’s history and provides both the creativity and strategy that’s necessary to build positive brand awareness, cement customer trust and grow bottom lines.
Our well-established, repeatable processes keep us highly accountable for the work we do and lead to better results for our clients, every time. We believe that’s the best way to demonstrate our effective solutions, a fact borne out by our many satisfied customers.
IntelliQUEST™ DISCOVERY PROCESS
IntelliQUEST, our proprietary discovery process, builds the foundation of our successful partnerships and begins as soon as we take on a new client. This intense, customized educational phase makes it possible for us to learn everything we can about your needs, goals and desired outcomes. We also use this process to thoroughly understand the behaviors and perceptions of your target audiences as well as gather competitor intelligence.
Discovery
Before we work to fulfill a need or solve a problem, we take the time to look at and define your opportunity or issue. Through research, we determine who you need to reach, what you want your audience to do and what type of messages you need to communicate.
Strategic Planning
Every marketing and public relations strategy needs a plan to be successful. Our planning process starts with goal setting and creating the framework of research-based strategies and tactics.
Creative Execution
Once we thoroughly understand your needs, we start implementing the tactics that will allow you to achieve your objectives creatively and cost-efficiently.
Measurement
We measure and optimize in-progress work, then measure again once your marketing project or public relations campaign is over to determine how effectively we met your objectives.
