WE ARE A BRIEF-TO-LIFE CREATIVE RESOURCE. As an agency, our mission is to make your brand desirable. And that comes from finding the truth and connecting it to your audience. When we partner with you, we share your mission. When you have a chip on your shoulder and are hell-bent on proving your merit, we’re right there with you. You can’t fake heart. And neither can we. By bringing creative talent upstream in the problem-solving process, we work to deliver quality without the cost of a larger apparatus. The end goal is brand-defining work that moves your audience. The way we get there is streamlined and thoughtful. While we would never pretend to be full service, we can take a campaign or a brand launch from brief to life, fluidly and in-house.

In our new campaign for Sensi, we discovered an untapped market for smart thermostats: normal people just like us. So we left early adopters to the tech brands and focused on the real opportunity—check out our results. https://lnkd.in/gXgFXu6w
First, the big dogs captured our hearts. Next, they secured two Gold American Advertising Awards at the regional @aafdistrict9 awards. Thanks to the APA Adoption Center and our production partners Bruton Stroube Studios. #BigDogEnergy is headed to compete on the national stage against the best advertising in the country.
In three months, our Big Dog Energy campaign drove a 27% increase in new website visitors, 19,000 landing page visits and over 100 adoptions. Last week, it was also recognized for its creative merit by the American Advertising Federation with a gold ADDY for the "Beware of Bullies" video. Thanks to our friends at both the Animal Protective Association of Missouri and Bruton Stroube Studios for their partnership and vision to make it all happen.
Congratulations to the Animal Protective Association of Missouri, Bold Spoon Creamery and the rest of this year's AAF - Advertising Club of Greater St. Louis ADDY winners. May we suggest celebrating with a scoop of Brie with Spiced Honey and your esteemed four-legged companion?
We love promoting industry events—even our own. The 2023 Ad Club St. Louis Advertising Awards gave us the opportunity to celebrate our friends, peers and sometime-competition in the STL advertising community. Check out how helped boost and create a night to remember in our new case study. https://lnkd.in/gCnBq_7S
If this page took a while to load, you need this case study of the new campaign for Gateway Fiber. We reframed the cable bundle to show that it includes all the things you don’t want: price hikes, non-existent customer service and unreliable connections. Check out the work encouraging cable customers to Break the Bundle and switch to blazingly-fast fiber optic internet. https://lnkd.in/gXFpSiRc
Every year we like to thank our clients for the work we get to produce together. And since we pride ourselves on our creative chops, we decided on a gift no one else has thought of: candles. We invite you to take a look at something you really should be smelling at darlingmakery.com/scents. Who knows? Next year YOU might be receiving a gift from us: like a nondescript pair of socks!
There are far too many large dogs in shelters, waiting for a loving home. That’s why we’re excited to launch Big Dog Energy for the Animal Protective Association of Missouri. Big Dog Energy is a celebration of how it feels to live with a big dog. The confidence, love and well-being that radiates off their owners. But don’t just take our word for it—get down to the APA Adoption Center and find your BDE. Extra slobbery big dog thanks to our partners Bruton Stroube Studios for making the work happen. darlingmakery.com/apa-bde
Bold Spoon Creamery doesn’t ask you to discover your inner child. Instead, it asks you to discover your inner adult who can have as much ice cream as your inner child always wanted. So if you’ve been perusing the freezer aisle for some creamy confection to match your mature disposition, take a look at Bold Spoon and maybe some of the work we did for them here: https://lnkd.in/dxjtyxqU
