At HL Creative, we believe creativity should be woven into each and every element of your company’s marketing plan, from start to finish. We begin by creating a dynamic strategy, then develop your brand, execute a customized advertising plan, and pursue all creative needs in between. Our creativity allows us to view your needs in new ways. With this fresh perspective we can generate a unique plan that impacts and motivates your target audience, and achieves your goals.

How do we do this?
1. CREATE A PLAN – We step back, see the big picture and make a plan. Where do you want to go? How can we help you get there? HL Creative is your partner, whether we collaborate with your marketing staff or act as a fully outsourced marketing department. Let’s tell the world your story.

2. CREATE A VISION – This is where creative rolls up its sleeves. No nonsense. No drama. No trick questions. We are there to get work done, to build something that makes an impact for your company – with the skills to pull it off.

3. CREATE RESULTS – Marketing sells, but that’s just the baseline. We are here to transform your business, build a brand, and make you a force to be reckoned with. Details make all the difference – let us show you results you can see in sales, revenue, and profit.

CREATIVE STRATEGY

HL Creative works to sort out who your audience actually is, and then asks the important questions: What has meaning for them? What do they care about, and how does this relate to your offer? What message can you deliver that is both true and meets your consumer squarely at the level of their needs? We create a marketing strategy that helps you answer your target audience’s crucial question: “Why should I care?”

  Industry information – Determine current sales and benchmarks within in the industry
  Suppliers – Identify vendors to partner with for optimal results
• TARGET MARKET – Find the market niche for your specific product.
• PRODUCT – Create a strong, succinct definition of your product or service, and demonstrate how it fits into the market and fills customers’ unmet needs.
• COMPETITION – Describe your competitors’ branding and market position. Develop a “unique selling proposition” that makes you stand apart from the competition.
• MISSION STATEMENT – Put it all together in a brief statement to communicate: “Key market” – who you’re selling to “Contribution” – what you’re selling “Distinction” – your unique selling proposition
