Geared is a nimble, fast-acting boutique marketing agency that specifically caters to the "entrepreneurial spirit" — that drive to invent, to take risks, to generate new ideas, to give 110%.
This is why Geared is perfect for launches, brand (re)positioning, and new concepts. In fact, we're also ideal for established brands looking to rekindle that spirit by raising the creative bar.
Model
Geared has a very “untraditional” agency model. Only a handful of agencies globally, position themselves in this unique way.
NO ACCOUNT STAFF OR ACCOUNT DEPARTMENT
Yes, you read that correctly. Instead, Brand Planners (strategic planning and positioning thinkers) are available for heavy-lifting activities.
INTRODUCING CREATIVE PLANNERS
Since the agency revolves around the creative product. Creative Planners/Project Managers who support the creative department manage the flow.
Why change the traditional model?:
First, we recommend doing things differently for our clients — why wouldn’t an agency rethink how the typical industry model operates? The net outcome:
LEANER OPERATIONS
With account time removed, an entire client billing layer (included in traditional agency structure) is gone.
DIRECT ACCESS
Get ready for this… clients can communicate directly with the creative content creators. There is no middle person, no playing “telephone,” and no reason to be billed MBA-level fees to communicate requests to the creative department.
INCREASED JOB TURNAROUNDS
Jobs are expedited dramatically under this approach.
Geared has discovered that entrepreneurial-minded individuals are drawn to our approach. They recognize that there are multiple paths to achieving the same outcomes. We've had the privilege of assisting companies like Blaze Pizza and Dave's Hot Chicken to build their brands at remarkable speed.
