HearSay with Doug – Exploration and Energy

Creative Director Doug Murano knows a thing or two about storytelling. At HenkinSchultz, and as an accomplished writer and publisher, he explores new chapters every day and brings that experience to HS and our clients. What originally attracted you to the business of advertising and your role as Creative Director? I’m a big fan of the phrase, “Go where the energy is.” It prepares you to take chances   and end up in unexpected places. That’s another way of saying I just kind of fell into the world of marketing. Back in grad school, I failed to secure a teaching…

What’s the Story? Discovery Sessions Can Help You Know

Ancient philosopher Socrates believed the first step toward wisdom was to know thyself. We believe it’s also the first step toward sustained marketing success. The way you think of and speak about yourselves on the inside of your organization can have a big impact on how you tell your organization’s story to external stakeholders. Working with a marketing agency can help you hold a mirror up to your business that makes sure what you’re telling yourselves matches up with what you want your external stakeholders to think and feel about you. Ensuring there’s alignment between the two is vital to…

HearSay with Anne Allen

Like most people, Anne Allen wasn’t sure what she wanted to be when she grew up. Today, as Director of Client Services for HenkinSchultz, you could say she is the adult in the room when juggling her clients' expectations and the work required of the HS team. But that doesn’t stop her from bringing her signature fun, playful attitude to the office. What path did you take to enter the business of advertising and marketing?  I wasn't completely sure what I wanted to do for a career, but I knew I liked to write and I liked working with people.…

Why brand voice and STORYTELLING ARE EVEN MORE IMPORTANT IN THE AGE OF AICopywriting

Why Brand Voice and Storytelling Are Even More Important in the Age of AI

The robots are coming. The robots are already here. The robots are everywhere. Artificial intelligence is quickly changing the game in marketing and communications as computer programs like Chat GPT become more adept at mimicking how human beings communicate. Like many software tools, AI can build convenience and efficiency into mundane, routine processes, but it also raises questions about our roles as marketing professionals as the tools we use literally evolve before our eyes. For example, AI will alter how we create content and improve SEO for our clients while helping to highlight the things humans still do best, like…

HS Building HistoryLeadership

HS – Breaking Ground, Literally

For 32 years, HenkinSchultz has broken ground in advertising, marketing, design, video and so much more. But in the year 2000, they found themselves literally breaking ground on a state of the art building that would be the first major landmark in the area. “People told us we were crazy,” said Kirby Schultz. “They said ‘what are you doing?’” But taking crazy chances has never been new to HS and their Crazy Obsessed team. The two story office was a design marvel that turned heads every time a rare vehicle drove by. Today it’s surrounded by thriving growth and development.…

HearSay with Kewley and Bart, HS Dog Contributors

We love to talk to our HS family about what they bring to the workplace. And since our dogs are like family, too, we thought HearSay should spend a little time talking to our couple favorite four-legged friends. So Kewley, you’ve been a regular at HS for a long time. What keeps you coming back? I’m a rare breed that I LOVE to be in meetings. And if that meeting is in the Pomp Room with a few dropped snack crumbs, all the better.
