This Fargo, ND Ad Agency
Looks at You Differently

Your Sales Goals Drive Our Creative

The central question we ask during our creative team meetings is the same question we demand of every marketing vehicle we produce: "How will this increase this client's sales?" If we produce pretty pieces but fail to get you results, we could soon have an empty office and a garage full of awards.

We don't participate in awards contests because being only human, winning awards would soon become the driving force behind our creative. And, quite frankly, preparing entries takes time away from getting results for our clients. And the day we quit getting results for you is the day we ask you to fire us.

We approach your marketing from a sales perspective. It's second nature to us because every member of our creative team has sales experience. We understand that marketing's goal is to drive your sales.

The Right Media is the Only Media

Part of our job is to determine which media will most efficiently deliver your high-impact message to your target market. Your interests always drive our decisions because, unlike a traditional agency, we do not accept commissions from radio, television, billboards, magazines, or newspapers. We pass our savings on to our clients. In many cases, these savings more than pay for our media placement services. Nor do we "mark up" printing or any other goods or services we buy on your behalf. This business practice of letting our clients pay Net, which we've followed for more than 20 years, allows us to further focus on your results rather than our income.

Only Seasoned Professionals Work for You

If you're tired of paying the hefty fees at a large agency for the greenest account people and generally uninspired thinking, you'll want to at least talk with us. Why? For one thing, at Advertising Marketing, seasoned veterans, like those usually reserved for only the largest clients at most agencies, work as strategic and creative teams on your account.

Although we've got broad experience in a wide range of industries, we can't possibly know as much about your company's products or services as you do. But we do know marketing. That's why we - you and your staff and our staff - become a team. You supply the "product" knowledge; we provide the marketing and public relations knowledge. That symbiotic relationship works well for our clients. And it's worked well for us since we produced our first comprehensive marketing campaign in 1985.

We're Not for Everyone

Finally, we readily admit we're not for everyone. If you're completely satisfied with your sales team's production, if your advertising agency produces high-quality, results-getting campaigns and sales materials, and if you're looking for the traditional agency relationship, then we're not for you.
