A Creative Think Tank
Imagine owning your own creative think tank that could create advertising materials, blogs, blog posts, campaigns, how-to’s, ideas, infographics, initiatives, instructional blogs, imagery, guerilla projects, marketing directions, podcasts, posts, press releases, social media updates, videos and webinars across all mediums, and websites for all your businesses -- all relevant, shareable.
It’s like having your own in-house agency with its own creatives, working primarily for your businesses, the creative requirements these businesses need for expansion, and the causes and initiatives supported by these businesses.
Creative initiatives are developed with the key people who run your businesses, so branding for these businesses are tailor-fit, in sync with your overall vision. And, because the only approval process is you, communication and submission is faster.
In-House Agencies on the Rise
With clients getting 100% dedication of subject matter experts, who charge no overtime or rush charges, in-house agencies, which are actually cheaper and faster than hiring an agency, are on the rise. Companies like Apple, Google, Globe and Jollibee have attracted talent from agencies for their own in-house agencies.
In-house agencies for companies like Integer and Chipotle have actually begun winning awards for their work, and are now hired by companies like Starbucks. The BBC has BBC Creative; Best Buy has Yellow Tag Productions; and, Coca-Cola has the Content Factory.
Even Fidelity Investments has Fidelity Communications & Advertising, while Sprint Communications has Yellow Fan Studios.
