We wouldn’t be a very gracious agency if we didn’t take advantage of this thankful season to say thank you, clients, for the success, ideas, inspiration and joy they’ve brought our way this year. At this time last year, Kate and I were still planning our attack-deciding how we would become a media and consumer marketing company that provided not only online and brand solutions, but also a means (whether PR, social media, or just good ol’ fashioned begging) of getting these initiatives noticed. One of the conclusions we came to early on was that we only wanted to work with clients who have something good to say. Because, quite frankly, the last thing the market needs is another self-proclaimed “expert,” another “innovative” brand, or another “groundbreaking” company. It is truly the rare person/brand/company that can back up these types of claims with substance. However, our clients do exactly that and it is this substance that helps us do our jobs well. In chronological order, we are thankful to: Story Worldwide, our flagship client, for having enough foresight to recognize a good thing when they saw it. Also, for living up to their name by telling us the best story we’ve ever heard every time we see them.
- You gave us a strong foundation on which to build and grow, and offered confidence to other companies trying to decide whether or not they, too, should take a chance with our new company. You continue to offer us brilliant material to work with and priceless advice. Not to mention, that tale about the guy you sat next to on the plane…
- You made us realize how important new and regular content is to any campaign. Public relations, online marketing, social media, you name it-if you don’t have content, you’ve got nothin’.
- You’ve inspired the way we think about our company and have given us proof that investing in your staff’s well-being and happiness is not only one of the best investments a company can make, but also the duty of responsible employers.
- Your fearlessness and demand for fair treatment has trickled down even into our most-minute everyday decisions. Now, when confronted with a decision as minor as calling Verizon to complain about the hidden fee on our phone bill, we think of you and fight the system to the bitter end!
- You started with an overall goal-“online marketing education”-and have demonstrated the power of growth by diversification. You’ve identified more revenue streams than seemed possible. (And that’s exactly why we plan to copy your every move…)
- Working with you has opened our eyes to new business strategies and, oddly, to new life strategies. To put it simply: if you were a religion, we’d convert!
- You’ve boosted our egos and reaffirmed our philosophy that a good message can go a very long way.
- We admire the sheer authenticity with which you present yourselves and your ideas. You came to us for an online solution not knowing that most companies’ biggest online problem is, in fact, their lack of authenticity. We can’t wait to expose you for who you really are. (And we mean that in a very good way!)
- You make us cool by association.
- You were a blessing in disguise.
