Who are we?

Every brand has a soul. At R/West we believe the path to great work is paved with discovering the unique makeup of each of the brands we work with. If you look at the amount of generic, non-emotive messaging that pervades, it's evident that not many agencies share our passion for this process.

It takes work. It takes true integration. It takes a dedicated and deeper level of involvement in our client's business. We've worked drive-thrus and sales floors. We've been invited to help create new products and sit in on top-level meetings. We are much more than an advertising or PR agency to our clients: We are trusted business partners.

It's through this lens that we approach strategic planning. Our goal is not just to create a well-known brand, but one that is loved. We work with all hands on deck where every person in every department at R/West is a strategist. We know that sometimes the best ideas come from the most unexpected sources. Using all the vast resources at our disposal we go to school on your industry, business, customers and employees.

We do all of this to find strategy that fits. The strategy that you can execute internally and your employees believe in. And most importantly, we find the strategy that gives voice to your brand's soul and gets results.

R/West is different. Not only in the way we build brands for clients but also in the way we communicate our clients' messages. We look at each client and their brand on an individual basis -- there are no "canned" media buys at R/West. With each client comes a unique challenge, a unique strategy and a unique media plan. We plan and buy media for value and return, not lowest cost or sheer numbers. When we buy, we know the right people will see the message. Our approach with media is simple: to connect our client to their customers using the media that's best suited for the purpose.

Whether your company's goal are; sales, growth, awareness, traffic or lead generation, R/West works with you to develop a clear and measurable set of benchmarks to create a media plan. As each client and brand is different, so should each media plan be different. Only by knowing your vision, what your company's goals and what benchmarks will be used to measure success, can we develop a successful media strategy and plan.

At the end of the day R/West understands the need for return on media investment. If the phone doesn't ring, web site doesn't buzz or widgets don't fly off the shelves, we've failed.
