Ohio company creates hand painted customized sneakers and we’re looking for an agency that can take our goals and tailor a roadmap to achieving them through a marketing plan that fits our needs and budget.  Originally created in 2011, we’re a Sneaker Brand who’s roots go all the way back to 2004. This did not happen overnight – we’ve grown and evolved while also growing and evolving as individuals. I proudly present to you our Culture and our motivation ….

So this may be your first introduction to custom sneakers and you are asking yourself – “what’s this all about”? Ok, let me walk you through this. Custom sneakers are the child of sneaker Culture. Sneaker Culture itself was born in the 80′s which was yes – when Michael Jordan came on the scene. The Air Jordan brand immediately created Sneaker Collectors – Collectors created Hype…Hype drove demand and then it just spiraled out of control. Now Hype…Hype is it’s own story. You will hear words like “hype”, “sneaker hype” and “hypebeast” all used interchangeably but hype behind sneakers went as far to cause sneaker riots.

Hype behind sneakers have gotten people a lot of money from reselling their kicks, respect, girlfriends and even beat up. The excitement behind sneakers is sometimes flat out amazing and there are lots of stories to back this statement up including but not limited to the infamous Nike Pigeon Dunk Riot in New York City. The story behind custom sneakers, like most things in sneaker culture has an interesting beginning. What first started out as “I’ve got to keep my sneakers clean” developed into “let me paint my kicks in order to extend the life of my sneakers”. Yes – poverty was a big driving force behind how customizing sneakers even started. You had kids that simply could not afford a new pair of sneakers and well as the saying goes – necessity is the mother of all inventions. So, rather than settling with the reality of not being able to afford a new pair of sneakers, kids started painting their shoes. First it was painting kicks in their original color and that developed into painting their sneakers in different colors and well that too started something that would spiral out of control!

That’s it; that’s us!  Help!!!

We specialize in industries using soft materials including textiles, leather, industrial fabrics and composites. Our desire is for an ongoing public relations program focused on the fashion (NY and LA) and manufacturing (nationwide) industries. The program would involve conducting a discovery session, developing media scripts (key viewpoints and messages), identifying interview opportunities, providing pre-interview briefs and providing ongoing media relations (deskside briefings for reporters, developing pitch ideas, securing speaking opportunities, following editorial calendars, etc.) Target trade publications would include magazines like Apparel  News. Current Budget $100,000 – $250,000.

Year after year, we’ve been a world-leader in PVC building materials— and why other leading suppliers around the globe rely on us to engineer and manufacture their products. We now seek to determine what type of budget configuration would be required to bring on an agency to offer an integrated plan that would include Marketing strategy development/refinement, marketing communications, merchandising/displays and more. That’s because we are introducing a number of new products into the building materials market and are beyond our current capacity.

Our focus is in the farming, heavy equipment and construction industries. Our mission is to help potential buyers – Locate Equipment And Parts FAST! Our company and our website is the only known website where companies can outline their entire inventory into one database. We have eliminated the itemizing, editing and photo uploading that is generally involved in advertising equipment and parts on the internet.  With us, companies can complete our five(5) step click-thru process in a matter of minutes The information they provide is automatically stored in our database, which is used to match with requests submitted by our visitors, that are in search for equipment and/or parts. We have an Internal Communication System that alerts buyers and sellers of matching requests. It also allows both parties to respond to each other, without leaving the security of our site. This ensures their privacy until either party chooses to share contact or business information. This communication system also gives us the ability to monitor all activity and see if the site is or is not working for our users. Which provides us with information and the opportunity to better serve our users. Each registered user is also provided with a Member Dashboard work area. Here they can respond to requests, view their account information, manage/update their inventory status and monitor request activities. This concept is un-matched and has potentially unlimited possibilities for both the buyers and the sellers in this field of interest.

Need assistance letting people know that there is another way of finding what they need on the internet. That there is an alternative to search engines and surfing through endless links. As well as letting companies know that there is an easier and less expensive way to let people know what they have for sale. Budget $250,000 – $500,000

Our company provides all the cleaning utilities a homeowner or business would need.  We serve the Ypsilanti, Michigan market. We have client testimonials, and a good reputation in the community. Would someone like to do a story?

We’re a smaller general construction company. We want to begin advertising/marketing to gain more customers but we also need assistance identifying our best prospect categories. This is our first effort to start a marketing strategy and would like professional help to successfully build our business. We need someone to take the helm to create marketing content and to identify best media alternatives. We see Delaware and Pennsylvania as our geographic target markets. Budget TBD.

Our magazine is a Russian-American advertisement magazine, published in Washington. The Russian-speaking community in our state is over 300,000 people. The magazine is published monthly and distributed as a controlled circulation product twice a month in all places frequently visited by Slavic residents in our state. We’ve been attracting new customers to local businesses since 2004.

We could benefit from professional help in design, content, branding, circulation and overall marketing. We chose the budget pull-down of $100,000 – $250,000.

Digital; Internet; Branding … AgencyFinder is managing an agency review for an established consumer products company headquartered in the North East. They make and market a number of healthcare-category products, but this review will focus on their dental care products that address gingivitis and bleeding gums. Bleeding gums is a leading symptom of gingivitis. Gingivitis is a serious condition that can lead to tooth loss, gum surgery and worse. Most people (over 35) already suffer from gingivitis and don’t know it. Most people don’t know they can do something to stop, cure or prevent the disease.

The client wants an agency to help find people who suffer from bleeding gums and convince them to try their products since they have an important part of that solution. They’d like to wage Internet advertising to capture those who are searching for a solution and let them know they exist and where to purchase. The Internet seems tailor-made for this assignment but they are having trouble finding a partner that knows how to market on the Internet at the same time exhibiting skill-sets for mass distributed products like theirs. As the CEO remarked, “I’d like our agency partner to have some experience selling packaged goods products where the main medium was paid Internet advertising. In our recent experience, boutique digital agencies are technically competent but don’t seem to get some of the important nuances about how a business like ours gets and keeps consumers. In the ideal set-up, we’d deal with marketing-savvy people who understand the creative process and the technical stuff and help make it all work effectively.” The client used our pull-down menu to indicate an initial budget of $100,001 – $250,000

Our company provides professional WATER EXTRACTION, IN PLACE STRUCTURAL DRYING, HARDWOOD FLOOR DRYING, MOLD CLEAN UP, SEWAGE BACK UP, TRAUMA SCENE CLEAN UP, TILE AND GROUT CLEANING AND SEALING, NATURAL STONE CLEANING AND SEALING as well as CARPET CLEANING for the residential market place. Our technicians are WRT & ADS Certified under the Clean Trust Standard. We are licensed and insured and have invested in the best and most effective equipment available in the marketplace to insure the job will be completed efficiently and in the shortest time possible.

We need professional help getting our message to the market and also acknowledge our current website needs updating and improved clarity. We’ve budgeted between $100,000 and $250,000 all-inclusive for this first pass.

We’re creating a computer aided, online, speed reading learning application that teaches users how to increase their reading rate and how to remember better. Public beta is scheduled for fourth quater 2012. We will do a crowdfunding campaign and need an agency for a supporting promotion campaign so people actually get to know our project and start supporting it. Therefore we need assistance in three steps: 1: Reviewing and – if necessary – improving the projects video and text presentation used at the crowdfunding campaign. 2: A promotion campaign to support the crowdfunding campaign with the goal of getting publicity and getting people supporting our project. 3: Once the app is released (scheduled for early 2013): A second promotion campaign to get people using our (free) service (his step depends on the success of step 2).

We’re in Austria and prefer an agency here on in the UK. Budget TBD
