We're market wise. We know how to divine the mind of the market. We understand the psychology and psychographics of customers and what it takes to move them. We have a strong research orientation, so our hearts don't overrule our heads.

We're industry savvy. We've been successfully marketing and advertising to consumers and businesses since 1972. We live and work at the intersection of Marketing, Advertising, IT Support, Research and Compliance.

We're creative where it counts. We think it's important to have advertising that produces sales, and we don't necessarily believe in doing things the way they've always been done. And we're not afraid to tell a client if we think he's setting himself up to fail.

We're responsive. We're always available for clients' needs. We're wired to the world, to each other and to our clients. We've repaired website problems on a Friday night. And we flew to Las Vegas on a Sunday to fix a show display that had been damaged in transit.

We're passionate about the Brand. We believe a business has to stand for something, something that's important to its customers. We make sure our clients understand why the company is important to its stakeholders and the brand is vital to survival.

We're affordable. Our average blended, or combined, hourly rate is $125 per hour, about a third less than our larger competitors. We get more done for less.

We have great people. Our team of creative, motivated associates cover all the bases: copywriting, art, design, photography (still and video), copy and video editing, print and video production, proofreading, PR, and account services.

We understand financial discipline. We believe in ROI. We know how to develop and live by a budget. Because we buy for multiple clients, we can leverage purchases to our clients' advantage. Dealing with printers, service bureaus, photographers, and other specialists can be demanding, and it requires technical knowledge.

We're really into technology. We've built electronic dashboards for senior executives to monitor key business metrics; we built one client a unique "bounce-proof analysis software" that let them run their own overdraft protection program (and save huge third-party fees), and we've built a secure system for bank clients to open accounts online.

We're responsible. We take full responsibility for delivering a commercially acceptable end product to our clients. If you don't like our work, you don't pay our fees.

We know the difference between sales and marketing. Sales and marketing are separate processes. Sales benefits the company; marketing benefits the customer. The ultimate purpose of marketing (and branding) is to make sales efforts unnecessary.

We're intensely focused on customer service. If it's important to you, it's important to us. We're devoted to preserving, extending and amplifying your relationship with your customer. We know you don't take your customers for granted, and neither do we.
