OUT TO ROCK THE WORLD - Helping global mega-brands and scrappy startups rock the world. How? Well just look at the staff we’ve assembled. They’ve climbed the ranks through some of the world's most creative organizations: JWT, Turner Broadcasting, Mullen and Coca-Cola. And THIS IS RED truly shines when it comes to connecting consumers with brands. We have experience in every medium and we don't play favorites. We don't use TV just because it's sexy and we don't use social just because it's edgy. We look for the smartest avenues of communication. Whether it’s interactive, an event, mobile app, or social media, THIS IS RED tells the story to connect a brand with its consumers. Bold and ambitious. Common sense. This is what we do. This is how we function. THIS IS RED. Tough Love Let’s face it. Your audience could care less about you. We know that hurts to hear, but it’s a fact. You go to work everyday trying to create new ways to engage them, new products to dazzle them, new services to make them love your brand just a little bit more. They go to work everyday forgetting you exist. Create A Better World You've got to make your audience care. You've got to engage them on an emotional level that touches their soul. They seek beauty and truth. They are drawn to a good story. They readily distinguish the genuine from the contrived. They do not shy away from controversy. They seek new and exciting experiences. They look for new technologies that allow them to connect with the broader world. And they aspire to create a better world. Connecting You and Your Audience THIS IS RED creates the stories, develops the experiences, designs the images and pens the text that connect you and your audience on a higher plane. Our process is intellectual, yet rational, and above all, grounded in reality. We address both creative and strategic concerns by creating a balance between the two that transcends typical and one-dimensional marketing solutions. We place a huge value on common sense. We dig deep and we tell the truth. THIS IS RED. And this is who we are.
