We Simplify Marketing.
And here are some of the things we believe:
Building a business is hard enough. Marketing should support and enhance: your product, sales, and/or fundraising efforts. The best companies are not fully marketing-led, but whether you are building a B2B SaaS technology, a construction company or launching the next great apparel product, building a great brand and marketing effectively matters now more than ever.
Do less, but better.
You can do 100 things in marketing. As a growing company, you don’t have the resources to them all (but many try to). We focus on what will make an impact for your company based on your team capabilities, goals, budget and industry. We are not box tickers and hate wasting time doing the wrong things.
Everything connects, eventually.
We bring a broad and collaborative approach to even the most tactical of problems, drawing inspiration from unrelated industries, companies and campaigns. We also draw on your expertise and experience, because it all matters. The best marketing is often finding new ways of fitting existing things together.
Brand is the only long term competitive advantage.
Got the best tech in the world? Doesn’t matter. The best product? Not for long. Some may call us biased as brand marketers, but we believe that the only sustainable, long term competitive advantage that a company can build is its brand. It isn’t always easy to quantify, but it matters. A lot.
Health is wealth.
We love to work with companies tackling the important problems in health, from fitness to the obesity crisis and mental health epidemic. The world will need to make a massive shift from reactive to preventive healthcare, and innovation will be needed across the board to keep up.
We dislike buzzwords.
Your technology may be revolutionary or cutting-edge, and you also might be humbled to announce something. But you won’t catch us using these words. We help deliver effective, clear and concise communication , whether it is on your website, pitch deck or sales materials.
You need
escape velocity.
Once you have some market momentum (usually in the form of product-market fit and sales), you have a finite amount of time to make something happen. And if you don’t have momentum yet, put all of your attention and energy as a company in finding product-market fit. Nothing else matters. Not even marketing.
