OUR TWENTY-NINTH YEAR!

Creative Consultants is a full-service advertising agency that specializes in regional and national clients. Started in 1980, the company is based in Spokane, Washington USA. During the last two and a half decades, Creative Consultants has collected a variety of awards and recognition for creative achievement, including over 40 MAX/Addy Awards, 45 SPARK Awards and the Sherman Fairchild Award of Excellence.

It takes sound business principles and stable management for any company to survive and succeed for more than just a few years. There is a reason why we have survived and prospered when others have failed. A large part of our success is due to our unique business philosophy. We believe that our client's money should be spent on developing marketing solutions and on the production and purchase of advertising. Period. That means not paying for personnel you don't need, eight hours a day, 365 days a year. We utilize the most talented freelancers in the northwest. This delivers the highest quality work at a substantial savings for the client. Creative Consultants offers stability and can handle both large or small amounts of work without placing major stress levels on the firm's capabilities.

Emphasis on Consistency

One of the main things we stress to our clients is the need to maintain a look of consistency throughout the advertising and promotion that is created. We believe there exists a synergistic value in establishing a specialized look and feel to a company's ads and literature. After a while, people will identify what they see as our client's ad before they read the headline or look at the illustration/photograph. And the accumulative effect of such work creates a superior recall and top-of-the-mind awareness than ads with individual corporate identities.

Another important difference is our "no surprises" method of doing business. Unlike a lot of other advertising agencies, we will deliver you a comprehensive cost estimate on the production of any project we work on. In advance, before any work begins. In writing. This gives you an accurate idea of what things will cost before work starts and allows you to make adjustments as needed. It also gives you a guideline to use when reviewing our billing. Unless the project is changed during the production course, we will stick to our estimate firm. Don't believe the old agency adage that says, "We won't know what it costs until it's finished". We'll give you a price and get it done for that price. Simple as that.

Not "Yes" Men

If you are looking for a full-service advertising agency that will agree with everything you say, then Creative Consultants is not your kind of firm. We don't believe that the client is always right. And we believe that telling you what we think is one of the most important things we get paid for. Of course, you own the pocketbook and will ultimately make the final decision. But isn't it comforting to know that your agency will tell you things to your face what others might whisper behind your back?

Great marketing and advertising is both an art and a science. And it's never conceived in a vacuum. It takes a team effort to make it a reality. When you hire Creative Consultants to be a part of your team, rest assured we won't be quiet. We'll be coming up with ideas and directions you never thought of before. We're not exactly "No Men", but we'll ask a lot of questions to test the status quo. "Yes Men" are worried about the security of their jobs. We are worried about the success of the product instead. We think that's an important difference.

A Balanced Approach

Some creative firms are heavily-oriented to the design end of the business. Others are better at the strategic planning than they are at execution. Creative Consultants maintains an even keel and delivers an effective balance of marketing, design and execution. A great creative idea for an ad must have a sound marketing plan to support it. It has to make sense all the way down the line. We are a result-oriented firm. Which means the thing we are most concerned about is that the product we are working on is selling. What is the lead-to-sales ratio? How can it be improved? Those are the kind of questions we ask. And we seek and develop answers.

Good business partners and long-term relationships are the fabric of stability and success. And we know that the only way that can happen is if we produce results. Give us an opportunity to do that for you. Let us do what we do best. Let us provide the leadership to develop the appropriate marketing strategy. A sound advertising budget. A well-orchestrated media buy. And result-oriented creative. We will lead you to success.

One of the main reasons Creative Consultants has been so successful over the years is that we have picked our clients as carefully as they have chosen us. We believe in our clients. And we welcome the creative challenge of developing exciting new campaigns from the bottom-up. Let us show you how we can stretch your advertising and printing dollars and get the most value and attention at the same time. Let us be your Full Service Advertising Agency.
