Marketing Strategy
Marketing strategy is the science of designing messages and branding that win. A successful marketing strategy is not a good advertising campaign. Rather, it is a comprehensive marketing identity that knocks the ball out of the park. Accordingly, marketing strategy is one of the most powerful levers of corporate success. To innovate, strategists need a constant influx of new ideas. That's where AD CULT comes into play. Join the cult!

Cultural Branding
The most coveted brands are elevated to the status of cultural icons. These brands are desired and embraced into the fabric of our culture. In some cases, they are even tattoed onto flesh. Tools like emotional branding, new, and guerilla marketing are often used to enter the consumer psyche. However, these tools by themselves cannot explain the iconic success of cult brands like Apple, Harley Davidson, Guinness, and Nike. The science of cultural branding is one of the most difficult and rewarding concepts in the field of marketing. The creation of a cultural brand is the "Holy Grail" of marketing.

Innovative New Ads
There are mavericks in the world who take ads seriously. Motivated by a fervent desire to discover tomorrow, these individuals are constantly searching for the next great ad. Employed in design, art, media, strategy, and marketing ad mavens set the rhythm for the pulse of pop culture.
