Relationship

Think of the last person you really listened to.

Now, think of why you listened to them.

The best relationships you have, are the ones where you can tell someone they’re full of sh*t (respectfully,) and then sit down and have a meal with them. You rarely – ok, never – want to forge a real bond with someone who constantly does your bidding. Strong strategy comes from strong relationships. And strong relationships are built on trust. 

That’s what we’re about. Building a bond so strong, that the strategies born from it– brand strategies, creative strategies, social, whatever – are iron-clad. Even though one of us might be full of sh*t.

It probably had something to do with trust.
Ideas

No one says, “That’s great advertising!”

But they do say, “That’s a great idea.”

It’s a simple fact; advertising doesn’t build brands, ideas do. Well-thought, agnostic, stick-to-your-ribs ideas. Sometimes, they turn out to be ads, but they’re the most important part of your brand, all the time. The best part is that there’s an endless supply of them, but they have to be mined, captured, coerced and cajoled into submission.

Most important, they have to be recognized as ideas. They come from anywhere at anytime. But once you get hold of one, it’s knowing what to do with it that’s critical. Ideas make brands unique. And we can help with that.

Focus

Behind every great brand is someone doing the work.

This stuff doesn’t happen by itself.

Every great brand –we’re not going to start rhyming them off, you know them – became great because of brilliant thinking, diligence and focus. And we believe every brand deserves the same chance to be great. We also think that the brand should be the hero, not the people working on it. So we’re quite content being the “man behind the curtain” so to speak.

It comes from a simple ideal – “ideas, not egos” – which is self-evident. Help the brand shine, and the rest takes care of itself. But don’t mistake our modesty for nonchalance. Our backgrounds speak for themselves.
