Our Process If we were any better choreographed, we’d be a ballet.
We begin with understanding your challenges. What exists? What works? What doesn’t? What has been attempted and how? What are the competitors doing (and not doing)? By understanding the competitive landscape, goals and industry, we launch head-on into a uniquely crafted strategy for your project—and your budget.
With a detailed (and aggressive) plan of attack, creative direction and streamlined project management, the production is underway. You’ll start to see results—fast. We check in frequently and involve you in as much—or as little—as the process as you like.
Now we evaluate the project, with rigorous field testing, focus groups— whatever it takes. We work tirelessly to ensure that the finished product meets all original goals, and meets your (and our) standards of excellence.
With bespoke strategies tailored to your specific needs, we roll up our sleeves and get right to work.
Obsession. We take loving what you do to a whole new level.
Why do we work with Startups? The short answer? Same as yours: passion.
There is something thrilling about risking it all for a project you believe in. And for us creatives, the opportunity to build something from the ground up (just like you have done) is even more exciting. Working with and for startups is incredibly rewarding. We're not saying every day is easy, but just like you: if we didn't absolutely love this,Dana we wouldn't still be doing it. Dillehunt The little victories fuel us, and keep us going. The big Creative victories are life-changing—as Consultant much for us as for you. dana@dd-strategy.com We're more than an agency, we're your partner.

New sales one-pager, printed and digital.
Rebrand: the HUB LTD The HUB LTD was faced with an aging clientele and a competitive online marketplace. In order to connect with a younger audience they needed to market their service and tailoring and compete online. We created a new logo, a series of radio ads, SEO/SEM campaign and an e-commerce site. Sales increased significantly and the Hub saw an increase in in-store traffic following the campaign.
Commercial and Campaign: Phillips Collection The Phillips Collection has been a fixture in the High Point Furniture Market for two generations. The last few years have seen greater design risks with ecclectic pieces—pieces that the company is now known for. But with the launch of the Design Network, video that also made a statement was a must in order to stand out from the crowd. The brand tagline “Every Piece A Conversation” and the bestselling signature wire-frame mannequin couple inspired this :60 commercial that aired during HPMKT on Fox8 and WXII, looped in the market showroom, and had the highest clickthrough rate of any ad on the Furnitureland South/Design Network website.
“Double Date” :60
In an industry dominated by tradition, their designs already stood out.
It was time for a commercial campaign that also broke the mold. A PR campaign saw the commercial featured on the front page of Furniture Today on the first day of Vegas Market, which resulted in more than 1,500 views. It was also parodied on the Bravo series Million Dollar Listing.
You can view the commercial at vimeo.com/101439181.
Rebrand: the Contracts Law Group The CONTRACTS LAW GROUP was in need of an update. With a pivot in their own business model to work exclusively with technology startups in the Boston area, it was necessary to invest in direct marketing as well as a brand that appealed to a younger and more discerning audience. It was also important to balance great aesthetics and savvy promotion with a mature image to present an informed, experienced and professional appearance.
Old branding and website, Contracts Law.
By creating a cohesive brand look, an updated website, succint and precise copy and a direct promotional strategy including SEO and SEM, Google AdWords and a web outreach (site memberships, directory listings, etc) the CLG quickly increased both their client list and their average billing.
