DESIGN & BRANDING...
Effective design and branding is NOT about the newest design techniques or self-indulgent copywriting. It doesn't even have to involve expensive media buys. It's about creating a unique voice or emotion that makes the target consumer take notice and act positively.
THE INDUSTRY...
There are many creative companies out there — the kind that create the "why didn't I think of that" stuff. But somewhere between the contract and the invoice, many agencies lose focus. Maybe it's because the hard work of earning the client's business is complete and they turn their attention to the next contact signing. Maybe they don't have the proper people on staff to lead a project. Or maybe the agency never truly had the "service" they sold in the first place. Unfortunately, the client suffers and is sometimes left wondering where the money went.
WHAT MATTERS MOST...
In this business, finding the right people to build a team will always matter most. There is high demand for someone who understands what it takes to get noticed in a competitive and fast moving market; someone who is not afraid to dig in and pull it all together; and someone who is still concerned with great creative, the bottom line, the power of a hand-shake and the meaning of service.
