OUR PHILOSOPHY
A simple, message-first approach to marketing that builds growth through meaningful steps.
Every strategic or creative project we undertake is rooted in these core principles.
Revenue-based
Knowing your company’s current revenue streams and future revenue goals makes creating an effective marketing strategy much easier. Without ties to revenue, marketing becomes self-absorbed and aimless.
Message-first
Your messaging is the most important marketing asset in your portfolio. If customers don’t understand your value proposition, it will be much harder to close sales at an equitable price point.
We focus on the message first because it informs every other piece of the marketing strategy. When the message is right, everything else falls into place.
Time-tested
These days, marketing channels can spring up and disappear overnight, leaving companies that depended on them scrambling. Building your marketing program on time-tested principles — like hosting as much of your own content as possible — is crucial in this ever-changing landscape.
The right tool for the right job
Do you really need that Superbowl ad?
Not every business needs every marketing channel all at once. And a big fancy CRM tool won’t do you much good if your sales team isn’t on board. Choosing tools that make the most sense for your stage of development can eliminate tons of wasted effort and money.
Continuous improvement
We follow the same principles found in lean product development. Years of experience have taught us it’s better to put something out into the world and get feedback than to wait for “perfection.” We build on what we learn and apply it to the next step.
Mindful growth
A good marketing plan is one you can actually use. Strategies can be broken into phases that allow you to achieve meaningful growth without over-committing. Ultimately, we want your growth to support even more growth, not create stress or burnout.
