Marketing Strategy
DATA-SAVVY BRAND STRATEGY AND INSPIRED CREATIVITY - You’re drowning in data. We dive in and find untapped opportunities for your brand, your business and your bottom line. Suddenly, the path to growth is crystal clear. Our approach starts with front-end data analysis. We focus on business outcomes, not just marketing metrics. When you engage us, we’ll ask you to provide all the data you have available. We input all your data into the CALLAHAN INTELLIGENCE PLATFORM and combine it with data from third-party sources that could include everything from search behavior to weather patterns. This allows us to dig deep and find aha insights that lead to real business results. In short, we dig into data before we begin doing what most agencies blindly plunge right into.
J.Schmid
Direct Marketing
ABOUT US - We believe in the power of creativity to solve any business challenge. We combine the data-driven science of marketing with the seductive storytelling of branding. Every brand has a story, we can help tell it across channels: websites, catalog, email, direct mail, social, retail, skywriting - doesn't matter. The message is what matters. The fact that we sell direct to consumers means we’re focused on results. The fact that we’re also “brand guys” means we understand the bigger picture. We believe we’re unlike any other agency out there.
Bernstein-Rein
Advertising
INVENTING A BETTER WAY TO GROW - BR is an independent agency that does more than create ads. We invent a better way. Ad agencies start with a consumer problem and create an ad campaign. We’re different. We’re entrepreneurs who see a consumer problem and then invent a better way. Sometimes that better way is advertising. Sometimes, it’s not. Inventing a better way is exactly what we’ve been doing for more than 50 years. We’ve started businesses, grown businesses, sold businesses. We’ve developed entirely new retail models. And yes, we’ve created some of the country’s best known ad campaigns. There’s always a better way. Take it from an agency who’s not just in the advertising business. But in the business business.

Code Koalas
Web
GENERALLY AWESOME COMPANY - Code Koalas is a IT & Web company based in Kansas City, MO. There is a long story behind the name. Someday we'll type it up on a funny story page. But until then, the short version is that a small koala puppet ( belonging to our owner's daughter ) made it's way into our office, worked it's way up the corporate ladder to become the office mascot, and eventually became the face of the company. We enjoy what we do in cyberspace, and we like to have fun doing it. That being said, we take our customer service and solutions in the "real world" seriously. We want to provide you with real solutions - not technological frustrations. And we want to put those solutions in your control, not hold them over your head once your site is launched.

Woodruff
Marketing Strategy
WE ARE GIANT SLAYERS - Giants are out there. Some are 9-Feet-Tall. Others are much bigger. You’ve encountered them before. Challenges, barriers, limitations. Basically, any menacing force hindering a brand’s success. They come in all shapes and sizes. As real as a top competitor, or as abstract as the fear of failure. Some giants are as large and apparent as available resources, a generic brand position or an unclear strategy. Others could be more obscure, such as the reluctance to embrace change, or a misconception of your audience. Giants are always in the way. Each one stands between a brand’s failure and its success. That’s where we come in. If you’ve got Giants, we’ve got Davids. It takes the kind people you wouldn’t expect to create unexpected solutions. We may not be the biggest or the strongest, but we know all it takes to bring down an adversary is confidence, clarity, and a precise execution.
