Every two weeks, a team at HenkinSchultz gets together and talks marketing, marketing ourselves that is. In a busy world of client service and creative executions, we make time to be our own client, too.
We discuss a number of things:
- How we can better market ourselves and our marketing solutions.
- How we present the agency in the community, in person and online.
- How we can best tell our story.
What is Our One Thing?
We lead ourselves through the same branding process we lead clients through: A search to discover The One Thing. We spoke recently about this process in our blog.
In a competitive world of full service advertising agencies, what is our differentiator? We offer creative marketing solutions, that’s for sure. But what are we as a collective group of people?
We’re Crazy Obsessed. We’re always asking “why?”
Not in a bad way. In the “we’re always thinking on your behalf” sort of way. It’s our way of reflecting the business of creative and the business of service in a manner that reflects our collective attitude
So What Does it Mean to be Crazy Obsessed?
You could say crazy is really the adjective here. It’s the passion by which we go about our business, serve our clients, find your audiences and do our work. Obsessed is our constant search for new solutions, analytics, strategies and more.
And while the two words aren’t mutually exclusive, we kind of break it down this way:
Crazy =
Creative
Agitators
Thinking big
Collaborating more
Checking our effort
Obsessed =
Service
Don’t rest until we find it
Listening and asking questions
10% More
Analytics
Adjustments
How Do We Apply That Attitude to Our Work?
When we do a branding session for any client, we always want to give them a look at what their attitude looks like in action. In other words, “Sure, Crazy Obsessed sounds nice, but how do we apply it?” So, we took it a step further and looked at how to put it to work in our various departments.
