hello Haavard, Selma, Jodi, Christie,
DeeDra, Julie and Sandi,

We’re looking forward to our call on Thursday. To make the
most of our hour together, we thought we’d put together
a quick reference snapshot of the Gain team and a little
about the agency.

Talk to you on Thursday.

Thanks!
James

We create opportunity.

We believe creating opportunity opens doors.

We create Aha! moments.

We believe the moment someone gets what your
product means to them, they take action.

We create action.

We leverage data insights to develop strategies that
bring buyers closer to a buying decision.

Our belief system...

...marketing is less about dollars and more about sense.
...the word “engagement” is often used when it’s not being delivered.
...thinking not only needs to be measurable but also scalable.
...people buy what they want, not what you want to sell.

12

...data delivers little without instinct and purpose.
...generating sales isn’t a goal, but a rallying cry.
...interest, opinions and attitudes matter for messaging.
...the starting point is the most difficult, and rewarding, thing.

...now you know :)

Our approach...
