To help revitalize your brand, Sunrise Advertising works across disciplines. We’re not pushing an agenda. What fuels us is collaborating with you to capitalize on an opportunity or solve a problem. For us it’s a joy to dig in, weigh all kinds of solutions and select the ones that will work best. And we have a track record that proves we know how to do it.
Where do our solutions come from?
Media planning/buying, Word of Mouth/PR, Creative Services, Digital Marketing, Marketing Consulting and more.
We’ve also developed a set of proprietary processes to help guide our work in a thoughtful and efficient way. But we’re not “process bound.” Being agile is key to winning, and winning for clients and ourselves is a company value.
Contact us to talk about our services and how we can put our proven processes to work for your brand.
Great advertising starts with great strategy. We dig in to understand your customer, your brand and your competition. Then we take on the problem or opportunity. We weigh a full spectrum of strategies and
tactics to grow your business. No bias, no dogma — just rooting out the right answer. Finally, we shine a light on a direction to reinvigorate your brand.
Steeped in strategy, we create more than pretty pictures and clever copy. We work and rework ideas, words and images to develop brilliant brand messaging that shines across all the channels. To give you a cohesive message you can own in the market. Our measure of success is: smart ideas, beautifully executed.
Your brand has values and character. Nothing helps the world understand and connect with it like Word of Mouth Marketing. It’s way more than simple chatter across the backyard fence. Word of Mouth encompasses PR, social media, blogs, guerilla marketing and more. Wherever your key influencers are gathering, we’ll make your brand a topic of conversation.
We have digital in our DNA. It’s inherent in everything we do. Many people still view it separately. Not us. We see it as a fundamental building block in every brand communication strategy. Our team experience spans creating web sites and banner ads, to social media, web video and digital display buys. We love digital marketing and advertising and how it can engage your customer or consumer, and how it can spark a brand and connect with new audiences.
To us food clients are more a passion than sustenance. We spark growth in restaurants as well as packaged goods.
We’ve pumped energy into quick-serve, fast-casual, casual and fine dining restaurants. Our team has worked on some of the most memorable restaurant advertising concepts in the country as well as some of the biggest restaurant brands.
How do we energize restaurants? One way is our proprietary TrialRocket. It’s a process for generating trial, getting the right people to your door.
With competition and price pressure, food CPG is one category where you need to concentrate on the end consumer as much as you do the retailer. We understand that.
Our clients benefit from our experience which ranges from new product launches and new product development to developing Brand Development Index and Category Development Index (BDI/CDI) strategies to best leverage your food advertising budgets.
Under the weight of heavy regulation, the power of brand is more important than ever. Sometimes it’s the only way to drive difference. Our financial advertising agency industry knowledge—spanning banks, mutual fund companies and pay-day loans—helps us hit the ground running with new financial clients allowing you to get to market fast.
Recently we’ve helped a national bank enhance their point-of-purchase marketing. And for a regional player, we lead naming for a suite of new online products as well as supporting an acquisition with targeted media buying. To learn more about our experience and how it can benefit you, give us a call.
We have you covered. From ad campaigns for national insurance brands, to repositioning regional brokers to better support their sales’ efforts, we’ve helped insurance companies compete with the big boys.
We know your prospects don’t want to think about you and your service—until they need it. It’s also painful to switch once people choose a company. Our TrialRocket proprietary process helps break down the barriers on the road to inducing trial.
Over the years, we’ve worked with a number of travel and tourism clients. Some are seasonal. Others afford wonderful opportunities year-round. Regardless, we know how to get travelers to consider our clients.
We use media planning and buying, word of mouth marketing and break-through ad campaigns to ignite people’s passion for fun and adventure for our travel and tourism clients.
