Inconsistency is the Achilles Heel of Brands.
Spin a story around your company that expresses those values. Better yet, multiple stories. But everyone can tell when there’s a loose thread. That’s why we ensure that brands we work with are bulletproof.
The most savvy companies turn their brands into religions that are difficult to question.
When branding is executed correctly, your ads gain a greater power and resonance. They become rallying messages to enlist like-minded people to your cause and further propel your brands story.
Testimonials
Scott Jenkins
“I don’t think we would be here today if it wasn’t for Hook + Ladder.”
“Not just ideas, not just concepts and solutions, but the ability to execute on them, with excellent communication from the team. Having that confidence that our project is being looked after on a daily basis really gave me the confidence to continue working with them.”
Judith Milne
“They’re genuinely experts in their field, but they have this very kind and nurturing approach”
“We don’t have to employ a team of 5 or 6 people to cover all of those areas. We can turn to Hook + Ladder and ask for help”
Chad Ball
“Their team listened to us and immediately understood the tone of our brand.”
“They’ve allowed us to build our business as opposed to working in it.”
“They challenge us to be better.”
“They just get it.”
Mike MacDonald
“I trust them. I trust in their ability.”
“I knew within a very short period of time that they are the company I needed to be working with. They were able to immediately understand our brand standards and convey that out on the digital platforms.”
“Working with Hook + Ladder is easy”
Anne McKinnon
“We specifically sought their services out because of their reputation in the digital space.”
“I learned lessons that are permanent. Hook + Ladder became a source of strength and credibility for us. It felt like a partnership. They had our backs.”
Jie Liang
‘’My company has been very impressed by the quality of work of Tonny, Caleb, Ryan and other team members at H+L. They first gave us an extensive training on digital marketing, and had thorough discussions with us to understand our product via our weekly meetings, from which they developed a comprehensive marketing strategy for us. After that, their team has worked really hard to execute the plan.
In just a few weeks, they have developed a sequence of social media messages, shot a high-quality 4-minute video for our product (with several iterations), and got ready to launch our Facebook/Google ads campaigns. This is completely beyond my expectation. I look forward to continuing our collaborations and strongly recommend H+L.’’
