Straight Answers

§04 / FAQ
What does a marketing agency do for a small business?+
It depends where you're stuck. For some businesses it's deciding who they're for. For others it's a brand that looks the part, a website that sells, or a campaign that gets people talking. We start by finding out which one is in the way, then do that first.
Do you handle strategy, or only the creative?+
Both. Positioning and a plan come first, so every creative decision after it has a reason behind it. Then the same team makes the work.
How big is the team?+
Small, on purpose. You work directly with the people doing the work, with no account-manager telephone game between you and the craft.
Do you only work with Halifax businesses?+
No. We're based in Halifax and work with clients across Nova Scotia, Atlantic Canada, the rest of Canada, and the United States.
We don't have a marketing budget yet. Where do we start?+
Take the startup marketing quiz. Seven questions, and it tells you what to do yourself for free and what is worth paying for later.
How do we start?+
