WHY WE'RE UNIQUE - Pinpoint is a design strategy group in Portland, Oregon. We help companies identify opportunities and hidden niches, then design engaging products that fill them. We get the question more than any other — What is it, exactly, that you do? It is, of course, a completely fair question. At a basic level, we learn about you and the people who care most about your work. With a fundamental understanding of both, we design ways to thoughtfully connect you both. It sounds simple. That said, the complexities of business problems, company structure, deadlines, budgets and internal organizational challenges often force project teams to forget the very people they are designing a product or service for. Similarly, we work to gain a rich understanding of your audience. We like to meet these people. We want to hear about their lives. How do they live their lives? What do they do every day? Why do they do these things? This sort of information paints a much larger picture of a person—they transform from users to people. Viewing business through the eyes your people reframes the problems, understanding, design, and indeed the complexity of your work. This perspective shift is what motivates us. It provides the foundation for everything we do for our clients. Our process of constant learning, testing, and refining along the way has helped our clients develop new relationships with their people — Cisco, Intel, Department of Defense, Stanford University, Nike and Mercy Corps.

WHY WE'RE UNIQUE - D50 Media helps our clients win in Acquisition and “Activation” marketing. We leverage both traditional and digital media, including mobile platforms, to find your target customers more efficiently. We drive measurable results to help you win in highly competitive categories, where sometimes winning means finding “needles in haystacks,” or just a small audience for a specific product or service. We are different in the way we blend direct marketing know-how, strong analytics capabilities, creative talent, and multi-channel expertise, to optimize those critical first points of communication with customers. While some agencies focus on impressions, visits, or engagement, we go further to transition the consumer from being a hand-raiser to a customer. For d50, this means starting with a registration, a survey completion, or a “like,” and then moving to a revenue-generating transaction or confirmed appointment. We also have a “total customer” point of view. We recognize consumers are surrounded by messages and multi-channel connections every day, so our campaigns reach them in all relevant media to drive action and engagement. Blending science and art, we continually test and optimize, looking holistically at the media mix and messaging to find ways to achieve even stronger marketing ROI. Ultimately, we get results.
