Our focus is the development and delivery of an organization’s identity, personality and distinctiveness.

We approach each assignment as a united front with our client partners. Full collaboration allows for efficiencies and speed of service. And our aptitude for highly-targeted marketplace research, roots our programs and consultation on sound ideas and insight.

The services we offer around branding, marketing and communications include:

• Brand Development & Framework

Our brand development process encompasses creating a unique position for an organization, a mission that drives its business, a personality and voice to express that mission, a name and visual representation that is recognizable, and messages that will carry forth the brand to its stakeholders.

Once a brand is defined, the cross-functional incorporation and internal alignment are critical to giving it life. Discussion around ways to launch and operationalize the brand both internally and externally is often a next step, as is identifying all appropriate channels for delivery for immediate, near term and future purposes.

• External & Internal Communications Strategy

The types of comms programs we recommend and build depend significantly on where an organization is in its lifecycle. Who is it ready to speak to and how? What vehicles are available—or what can we create—to deliver company messages?

External communications is typically a long-term component of a comprehensive mar/comm program—think of it as an investment strategy that yields results over time. It requires a very individualized approach.

Internal communications is essential because everyone associated with an organization are carriers of the brand. People outside the marketing function have as much or more influence on how the organization is perceived. Therefore, cross-functional incorporation and employee alignment are critical.

• Expert Positioning

Generally speaking, Corporate America is over informed and under inspired. So, rather than just “selling” your services, expert positioning creates value for your clients and prospects with information that inspires thinking and new ways of doing business. Our expert positioning work has been highly successful over the years, especially with our professional services clients.

• Marketing & Community Outreach Programming

Carefully considered marketplace positioning builds the foundation for making a one-to-one connection with an organization’s target stakeholders. A comprehensive, strategic marketing program that involves multiple channels for information delivery will help convey specific messages that resonate on a micro level. Elements of an overall strategy may include advocacy and relationship building, vertical market exposure, speakers bureaus and collateral campaigns.

• Web Site & Collateral Copywriting

The language our clients use—whether speaking to internal or external stakeholders—should be as precise as possible both in choice of words and in expression of thought. In today’s fast-paced environment, less is more no matter what the audience.

With a focus on keyword and SEO-rich writing, we maximize your marketing efforts by letting Internet search engines do some of the heavy lifting. Efficiency parallels budget consciousness.

• Event Planning & Sponsorship Management

Our approach to event creation and execution is unconventional and bold. We are thoughtful, methodical and creative in our implementation while always keeping an eye to the overall brand objective. Events often are very visual, public opportunities to reach a target audience, so it is imperative to have a clear understanding of what is to be communicated, to whom and how at the onset. Our turn-key method means you have only one point of contact keeping you informed of everything taking place.

Organization or event sponsorships offer a natural entry point to a specific industry or cause. Cultivating these community relationships often result in a third-party endorsement from these organizations that will elevate your acceptance by key professionals.
