Strategy first, creative second, results always.
STEP 1
Your partnership with us begins with a purposefully designed communication plan, a blueprint for achieving your goals. It’s the why and the how and the who—the actionable steps that produce real organizational results. We outline the details for you so there are no surprises: media insertion, budget, timeline, messaging, and audience.
STEP 2
From there, our communication specialists develop creative assets that inspire and engage your customers. Depending on your business model, your customer base, and your fiscal goals, sometimes we focus on digital advertising (think social media marketing, search engine optimization, PPC). Other times we use traditional advertising (that would be radio, print, outdoor). Most times we use a mix of both. See what we can do.
STEP 3
Then we deploy, we analyze, and we adapt. Our advertising agency operates on data—you can expect transparency, results analysis, and data-based recommendations. If something isn’t working, we’ll tell you. If something is working great, we’ll let you know. If something could work better, we’ll suggest how to get there.
Client Testimonials
“Strateligent was able to take my vision and transform it into instructional material and sales collateral that is clear, informational, and visually stunning. I’m thrilled with the end result. We’re now able to provide teachers with even more useful tools and classroom resources to create a culture of inclusion, improve students’ mental health, and prevent school violence.”
—Ben Rudrud, founder of RIPL
“Our values are the heartbeat of everything we do—they are used in everything from job descriptions and onboarding materials to social media and patient interactions. And Strateligent not only helped us define those, but they did it by making us part of the process. They aren’t a typical agency that would just put us in a generalized healthcare box and say, ‘This is what you are. This is what you believe. This is what you feel.’”
—Gretchen Youngren, executive director of development and communications, Samaritan Healthcare, Moses Lake, WA
“Strateligent’s public relations expertise and their ability to switch gears quickly helped us communicate critical COVID-19 safety information, quickly. The airport staff had more time to focus on implementing cleaning and other safety precautions, and we could keep our community informed of our efforts to ensure safe air travel. Strateligent’s communication assistance undoubtedly helped get ticket sales back up after the initial shutdowns.”
—Steven Wright, director of Brainerd Lakes Regional Airport
“Over the years, Strateligent has successfully transformed the narrative so that people see Lake Mille Lacs for more than just walleye fishing. Our long-standing relationship makes it easy for us to work together, strategize, and continue to position the area as a top destination for outdoor recreation.”
—Tina Chapman, executive director of Mille Lacs Area Tourism Council, Garrison, MN
“The entire Strateligent team feels like an extension of our marketing department. Aaron and Cory are fantastic to work with on videos and are extremely skilled at what they do. We are always impressed with the results and we receive compliments on our videos and commercials. The stroke video (sponsored through a MN Department of Health grant) had many moving parts and was a fun project for all staff involved. MDH is certain to be impressed with the angles and drone footage captured, overall content, and video quality for use statewide.”
— Diane Meyer, marketing and communications manager, Glacial Ridge Health System, Glenwood, MN
“Rebranding during a pandemic presented many obstacles for us, however Strateligent readily removed many of these obstacles by being accessible to our team through Zoom. The process was seamless! We completed over 30 hours of individual meetings with staff via Zoom, as well as many additional meetings with our Executive Team. Strateligent led us through a process of redefining who we are. It was fun, very creative, and authentic to our area. Aaron and his team provided extraordinary support all while working remotely. Our outcomes have been tremendous! Thank you, Strateligent!”
—Dell Anderson, executive director of Renew, Moses Lake, WA
