About

our philosophy: left-brain creativity

Simply put, Left-Brain Creativity infuses an analytical, left-brain point of view into the creative, right-brain thinking you expect from an ad agency. It’s about developing ideas that are not only fresh, but ensure our clients spend their time and money being the smartest marketers they can be.

Does it work? The short answer is yes. The long answer comes in the form of recurring reports on analytics, measurement and tracking that tell you what was effective, what could have been more so, why, and how we think we can do even better the next time. Hint: the long answer also boils down to, “yes.”

our culture

We are more than a collection of departments; we are an agency. We’re a single group of people who all do what they do best, but thrive on collaboration to get the most out of the work. We genuinely recognize the need for someone else’s expertise. So we listen to each other. Inform each other. Improve each other. Because Left-Brain Creativity is the difference between merely working at the same place, and working together.

our history

We opened our doors in 1979. Along the way we’ve won over our share of skeptics, won clients, won awards, lost every game of the 2010 softball season, and probably come closer than we’d like to admit to losing our minds a time or two. But we wouldn’t trade a minute of it. (With the possible exception of that 2010 season.)
