WHAT MAKES BRIGHT IDEA CREATIVE DIFFERENT
Our clients appreciate our company values and are some of the key reasons they contract with us versus hiring a “traditional agency.” When you work with Bright Idea you can count on:
-
Dedication: Our approach is to integrate ourselves in your operational team. We never walk into a new client meeting assuming we know more about their business than they do. By learning your industry and how you operate, we can develop a creative plan that we both agree on.
-
Ownership: The work that is produced for you belongs to YOU. This is not always the case with agencies. What Bright Idea produces for you is your property.
-
Adaptability: Bright idea is not limited by who is on the payroll. We are a flexible agency that can adapt to your needs, utilizing a network of industry sub-specialists who can be called on if circumstances dictate.
