Earn trust by sharing who you are.
Create your brand personality.
Let's face it, starting a company these days is a piece of cake. Everyone is doing it. But doing business, gaining then sustaining customers, has never been harder. Success even looks different now. You must be seen as transparent, relatable and - clear! And if you don't earn the trust of those who support your brand, you'll lose. That's where Crate comes in.
Your story matters
It's time you started trusting your brand.
Your brand should reflect the story that led you to where you are today. We listen & learn all we can about your company - both at the summit view and in the guts of what you do.
We'll review with you all that we see, both internally and externally, through competitor landscapes (data-driven stuff!), heavy content analysis and developing a new tone & voice. Then we give your brand a refreshed purpose and the best ROI to scale.
Some of Our Relationships
External marketing should match up with office culture.
And we believe it starts with your brand.
Giving your company a boost should be easy.
You are the SME. You know the capacity you want your business to be functioning at. You know the scale, the growth, the speed. And marketing the heck out of you should be fun.
We are creatives. Simply put, we create things and hold it high up on the list of marketing approaches. We don't create on a whim, but only after we know enough out of you to get going. What differentiates us from other places is the idea of relationship first, authority/experience second - and then the graceful dance between them. Without a thick relationship nothing promising will ever get done.
That's BS! Working with marketing firms is never easy.
Today, a lot of companies have attempted to either hire internal creatives, or contract them project by project. This is likely due to you or your team feeling second rate. Maybe you've said something to the effect: "They are not giving me the time I deserve." or "Whoa, look at this ridiculous bill." Or you just knew someone who knew someone. It seriously should not be difficult to work with a "creative" team. There is a missing ingredient our founder, Cliff Hilton, has learned over the years - you must earn trust and build a relationship that lasts before you market anyone.
Working with Crate results in us becoming true partners, and delivering a well-crafted, thoughtful creative brand & strategy for you; because trust starts when we stop & hear what you have to say. We give a rip.
