IT’S OUR MISSION TO FACILITATE POSITIVE CHANGE THROUGH GREAT CREATIVE. Creative impacts feelings, feelings trigger thoughts, thoughts shape beliefs, and beliefs lead to action. Great creative is unique, empathetic and effective. Unique: great creative is unique in that it helps you stand out in your space. Whatever you define as your market and positioning, your creative should reinforce that strategy. It should be thoughtful, intentional and strategic. Empathetic: great creative understands the dreams, desires, fears and motivators of your target audience. It sees where they are and plants a seed in their mind to show what’s possible in the future. It provokes and nurtures an emotional connection to a brand. Effective: Great creative gets results for both the business and the customer. Making something pretty that doesn’t get you return on your investment isn’t worth it. We love creative because it allows businesses to connect with those they seek to serve on an emotional level. In an instant, with just a glance, the viewer can see that someone understands their deepest dreams and desires, and that they have what it takes to get them where they want to go. Often times, a business helps them realize what they didn’t know they wanted yet, or what was possible. We believe that creative is an up front investment that yields returns endlessly as more and more people engage with the creative. Show less
