IN THE DIGITAL
WORLD
“Aside from food and water, content is the number one thing people consume.”
— ADAM GACKA, FOUNDER + CREATIVE DIRECTOR
Modern storytelling requires a steady stream of engaging content, catered specifically to your audience and the way they consume it.
PROCESS
-
We dig in and do the research and it all begins with asking the right questions. What is your brand story? Who is your audience? What are their media consumption habits? From there we develop the right strategy.
-
From product photography to feature length documentaries and commercials, our capabilities are whatever you need them to be. Our talented team has the versatility to deliver a wide range of content.
-
Our discovery will inform our strategy as we develop a unique campaign across multiple plaforms. The goal is to take the audience on the journey and provide more value with each interaction.
-
Strive to stand out and create content that will trigger an emotional response. It might be laughter, joy or hope. It can be also sadness, love and hate. Just make sure to connect on a level that connects with your audience.
-
Your ability to engage your audience on a consistent basis is how you build trust and loyalty. We leverage each platform effectively and think outside of the box when it comes to working with influencers to build your presence online.
-
Social media performance will determine which content should be promoted. Paid advertising is a great tool to ignite a grassroots movement, but it shouldn’t be the basis for your strategy. Our content is meant to be shareable and relatable which leads to more organic growth.
