You Are Essential ProjectionCampaignEvents

Using Creative Talents to Do Good and Help Feed the Hungry

Much of what HS does is not just advertising, but helping to solve problems. As all this reality was setting in, HenkinSchultz Founder Kirby Schultz challenged our team with the question, “What can we do in the community?” “How can we help solve a problem?” You Are All Essential The “You Are All Essential” campaign began with the idea that everyone is essential right now, as human beings, teachers, office workers, delivery persons, parents and in whatever contribution you’re making in life, work and to others. As frontline workers, health care workers and others get the attention they rightly deserve…

Seals and Sealants – How a Dental Campaign Captured National Attention

Waiting on a custom-made seal costume from China, we knew we had a special campaign on our hands. Delta Dental of South Dakota approached HenkinSchultz to develop a public service campaign. The goal? Encourage mothers to get sealants for their children and reduce childhood cavities. How to Make a Dental Procedure, well, interesting The American Dental Association states that sealants protect teeth and prevent decay. According to the Center for Disease Control, dental sealants prevent 80% of cavities in the back teeth, where 9 in 10 cavities occur. A sealant application is a simple procedure to apply a thin coating…

HamsterStacking: A Wild Week

How something silly, was really quite strategic.  Why HamsterStacking? It's a fun way to describe what HenkinSchultz does. We organize lots of moving marketing pieces in a fun way. We solve problems. We stack hamsters. By making Hamster Stacking an issue, we were able to capitalize on the political season. Graphics were created. Billboard space was purchased. A website was born. And a public relations response was put in place. Oh yeah, we even made yard signs too. Getting Attention with Intention Getting attention is often the easy part. But you must do it with specific intention. To pull this…

Hamster Stacking Campaign Revealed as Ad Agency Promotion, HS Celebrates 27 Years.

The campaign included a city-wide billboard campaign, digital strategy and a website. “Hamster stacking is one way we describe what we do, kind of like herding cats. In marketing, there are always pieces moving in every direction from traditional to digital, new technologies and new strategies. We can help manage or ‘stack’ those pieces, with great results for businesses,” says Becka Burger, Partner, Director of Client Services. HS introduced the fictional…

Expanded Services Call for an Expanded Marketing Plan

One of the most crucial decisions any business can face is how to go about expanding their service options. There’s a million decisions to make and a lot of moving pieces internally that need to be handled, but make sure you’re minding your marketing strategy as you plot your launch. The Soft Launch Some companies prefer a ‘soft launch’ – this is a slower rollout where a restricted market is able to preview the new product or service before it’s entirely launched to the general public. This can be an effective method if you want to A/B test the response…

Turning a Brand into a Bond

A great logo, consistent use of colors and cool signage are essential parts of creating a brand. These things will help customers recognize your business, and they’re certainly important.

Every element of your marketing – from your digital strategy to your mass media buys should work together to not just make people aware of your product or service, but to feel good about being a consumer of it.

Effective Marketing Appeals to our Emotions

This year’s Super Bowl ads featured an overarching theme that was more focused on emotion-driven storytelling than in previous years. When you’re paying $5 million for a thirty-second spot, you expect results. And emotional appeals deliver. From Budweiser’s controversial “Born The Hard Way” ad – the story of the founder of the brewery’s journey to America to pursue his dreams – to 84 Lumber’s “The Journey Begins,” emotional messages proved to spark social media interest and inspire traditional media coverage. Heartfelt spots that emphasize substance over style speak to why we care in the first place. A story with an…
