ALWAYS STRATEGIC.
ALWAYS TRANSPARENT.
ALWAYS CREATIVE. ALWAYS ON.

OUR STORY

Being born in social, we have an “always on” philosophy and know what capabilities it takes to support dynamic digital strategies and beyond. Today, social media trades in one-on-one relationships between brands and real people. To make campaigns thrive, we believe that treating quality creative and storytelling as equals to paid strategy is most effective.

When we launched (amp), we knew that singular, creative social content could be amplified by targeting the right channel at the right time with the right message to the right person. As a media and search agency, we’re passionate about promoting creative media that has a positive, valuable impact for brand communities.

We live and breathe social, yet we’re much more.
We’re a media and search agency –
an agency of record. But we also thrive in collaborations with
existing in-house teams and other shops.

We aren’t a transactional agency – we are thoughtful, adaptive and driven to develop real relationships with our clients by synchronizing social and paid media to generate revenue, build partnerships and boost engagement.
We market less and matter more.

Why (amp)?

Anyone can buy media. What matters is what you do with it. We are purpose-built to be a strategic partner. We’re goal-oriented. We believe deeply that successful campaigns only happen when executed from a proper strategic plan. Every single campaign we manage is monitored and optimized by real humans that actually care. We’re real – not transactional – and focus on developing connections with our clients and their audiences through trust and transparency to build lasting relationships.

WHY OUR CLIENTS CHOOSE US

“'Educate, don’t humiliate’ is our motto around here. Our answer is always, ‘No problem! Let’s set up a meeting to share the information we have available.’”

“Our clients like that we don’t have to be in one place. We’re spread out geographically and that works because we are “always on” and can always be anywhere. The benefit is we can work with brands in Arizona, or Texas, or wherever home is – ours or theirs. Wherever you are, you’re going to have that same client-first mentality from us.”

“’Always on’” doesn’t just mean community management. It means we’re always available and are looking forward to meeting with our clients. We want to get on the phone with them.”

“We are your digital dictionary. We’ll simplify the acronyms so they’re easy to understand. We don’t complicate things because we’re an actual partner, so we don’t want things complicated either. We don’t think complexity is impressive – we think simplicity is impressive.”

“They love our energy! We should be the most fun meeting of your week.”

“We realize our clients are human beings – this isn’t the only thing they’re doing at work. We have sympathy that social is a small part of our client’s day. They also have sales numbers, etc. etc.”

“It’s like they say at the Olive Garden…when you’re here, you’re family.”

“We’re there as much or as little as the client wants us to be. Whatever they need.”

“A client came in in a bit of chaos. We were there for her and got down in the trenches to help with issues that didn’t even necessarily apply to what our project was. We’re problem-solvers.”

“They have pain points across the board. We don’t want to be a part of that. We want to be the least stressful part of their day.”

“We have our true north, but we’re flexible on how we get there. If there’s a process that works better for a client, we aren’t so rigid that we can’t or won’t change our strategy for them.”
