WHEN TALENTS COLLIDE, EXCEPTIONAL CAMPAIGNS ARE THE RESULT.
We’re an agency with a focus on three core areas:
Experiential
Unique expertise in creative, strategy and execution for memorable events that make an impact
Sports & Entertainment
The deep understanding of pop culture icons as emotional touchpoints and the business around them
Loyalty
Building relationships and ultimately results between a brand and their consumer
EXPERIENTIAL
We’re living arguably the most disruptive time in our industry and we love it! Our passion and investment into experiential development and execution lets us leverage the latest platforms of connection whether
face-to-face, online, in-store or on the street. From a history of passion and commitment to excellence to a future through creativity and innovation, we are fortunate to be the preferred activation partner of
many iconic brands across the world…

SPORTS & ENTERTAINMENT
After 25+ years of backstage and locker room access, we are widely considered industry leaders in Sports & Entertainment marketing. Brands come to us because our combined expertise allows us to access and
integrate any league, athlete or artist - and it’s not only access to the icons that makes us an asset - it’s the full understanding of the economy and environment around them and how they affect consumers every
day (or at least during playoffs).

LOYALTY
Engaging consumers for a single moment in time is one thing - engaging them with the end result of an actual commitment for a long-term relationship is something different. It needs trust and clear, tailored
benefits. Smart loyalty of the future will deliver highly tailored benefits to individual needs on a large scale and only those programs will generate real brand to human connections that last. Our understanding
of that dynamic is what makes us one of North-America's largest and most innovative loyalty activation agencies with a strong focus on Financial and Retail industries.

OUR MARK
Our story is held within our signature – a makers mark created in 7 countries across the globe, with influences from urban graffiti to arabic calligraphy. It’s a statement of our collective resume from masters in
business to masters in fire eating, representing innovation through diversity.
-
CAREERS
We have a promote-from-within attitude and a flat management structure that encourages the quickest possible, ego-free exchange of ideas. We also have an open office not because it's cool but because we foster
that open-culture. While they’re important for submarines, closed doors don’t work so well when your mission is redefining an industry.

MARKETING REDEFINED = MARKETING UNDEFINED
Trying to define what great marketing should be today will be outdated by tomorrow, and that’s our point. Only an agency as dynamic as the marketplace can design real connections between brands and humans. So how
do we thrive on change?
Ownership
Yes we are considered a “large agency”, but we’re an independent, privately owned business. As such, we have no politics, no paymasters and no limitations. Since 1988 our mission and relentless focus has been
connecting our clients’ brands with their consumers.
R&D
To support our undefined approach, we believe you need three main ingredients: Science (Hardcore Insights), Art (Natural Curiosity) and Life (Our Collective Experience). To fuel our formula, we invest heavily
to make our business a base for original design.
Relationships
Our client, team and vendor relationships aren't just a one night stand - they're long-term relationships built on trust, respect and the desire to improve oneself. We don't take partnerships for granted, we
invest in them financially and emotionally through our patented give-a-shitness™.
Structure
When you put smart, diverse, experienced people into a room and toss a brand challenge on the table, something very special happens. Though our teams are organized around what seems to be 3 separate core
service offerings, the magic happens when we approach a brief united as one.

SDI COMPANIES
Sometimes you just can't buy industry-leading excellence which is why we believe in supporting and developing our own category innovation. Take for example SDI company
Kite - an innovative North American agency solution for person-to-person acquisition needs in the financial, retail, telecommunications industries and beyond.
