Industry immersion
Cross-education
Identification of brand challenges

Identification of Voice of the Consumer
Gathering of Expert Insights
Boiling our learning down into its most essential tidbits, we brief the Stout Heart creative team on project expectations, requirements, and objectives. We love to keep our clients involved in this phase.
Collective Briefing & Discussion
Our team is about as integrated as you get, with account service, development, and creative playing equal parts to help your project succeed. Based on the briefing, we work to bring your project to life, regardless of media, size, or objective. We’re not fans of the dog and pony show process that many agencies adopt, preferring that clients play an active role in the creative process to ensure that we can course-correct early and often whenever needed.
Integrated Team Reviews
Early client involvement to ensure success
More often than not, projects under our roof undergo some form of creative and production simultaneously. It is essential that the designer talk to the development or production team and vice versa to guarantee that we are creating something that can be built elegantly and that the user experience never suffers, whether on a screen or on paper.
Building & deployment, including design and technical QA
Regardless of the arena, our goal is always to show you how we’ve provided value. We believe in campaign monitoring, reporting on analytics, and recommending improvements based on what we find, all with the objective of moving our work closer to achieving its objectives.
