WHO WE ARE
We promise not to bore you
So, why are we even doing this?
Strive was founded with one simple goal in mind; to help our clients. Seems pretty straightforward, but it’s shocking how easily clients’ needs, bottom line, or ROI can get lost in the shuffle at a larger agency. Too many times in our careers have we worked on projects for a client that had no strategic foundation. Unfortunately, as creatives, we were stuck in the middle. The client’s plan, budget, and go-to-market strategy were already supposed to be established…but that wasn’t always the case. Sometimes that meant a media plan that didn’t match their goals or budget, other times the client didn’t have a website, style guide, or even a logo. However, they had already signed on the bottom line and needed a campaign developed that would solve all their problems; that’s a tall order and next to impossible.
And that’s why Strive was born. We wanted to get out in front of those decisions before our clients made them and help them choose the right course of action.
There’s no “I” in team
At Strive, we’re more than just a digital agency – we’re storytellers, strategists, and creative thinkers driven by a shared passion for helping our clients succeed. Embracing diversity in all its forms, we know that a varied mix of perspectives leads to better outcomes. Every voice matters here, and it’s through collective effort and collaboration that our best ideas take shape.
Smaller is better…trust us.
Strive thrives on its small agency advantage. In a world that’s constantly changing, our size is our strength, allowing for quicker adaptation and a more focused approach to client needs. We concentrate on cultivating strong, individualized relationships, offering a level of dedication and care that leads to meaningful results.
Bios? We Don’t Need No Stinking Bios!
At Strive, we break away from traditional bios. We believe that focusing solely on individual achievements doesn’t align with our ethos. Our strength lies in teamwork, collaboration, and open communication, both within our team and with our clients. The success of your campaign is a collective effort, seamlessly integrating our expertise with your vision. While we skip the formal bios, we’re always open to sharing our backgrounds upon request.
We care about your results
It’s really that simple. We’re not driven by egos, we’re driven by results and we wouldn’t still be here if we didn’t get good ones. If you’d like to learn more about how we attain those results, check out the Our Approach section below.
Our Approach
Story is at the heart of everything we do at Strive; we understand a good story moves you and a great one changes you. At the same time, a bad one is quickly tossed aside and forgotten. However, when it comes to marketing it can’t just be a great story, it has to connect with the right audience, at the right time, deliver action and results. It has to be driven by strategic planning, thoughtful introspection and a willingness to change. That’s where a good marketing strategy comes in.
Perfection is difficult and it’s rarely attained at the outset, it’s something that has to be worked at and honed. The same is true when it comes to marketing. The key to attaining a perfect marketing plan isn’t accomplished through bravado and blinders, it’s accomplished through a good game plan that has been vetted and is repeatable. We’ve developed a process at Strive to help accomplish this and deliver our clients results. It’s called D.I.V.E.: Discover, Ideate, Validate and Elaborate/Evolve. It may sound straightforward, but that’s because it is. Many times, agencies can get caught up in their own creative ideas and lose sight of the end goal; your results. By incorporating D.I.V.E. into our processes, we help ensure we don’t fall into that trap. Each step is designed to give us insight into your brand, message, audience and approach. Once we have attained that insight, it’s time to get to work.
