Bernstein-Rein
Advertising
INVENTING A BETTER WAY TO GROW - BR is an independent agency that does more than create ads. We invent a better way. Ad agencies start with a consumer problem and create an ad campaign. We’re different. We’re entrepreneurs who see a consumer problem and then invent a better way. Sometimes that better way is advertising. Sometimes, it’s not. Inventing a better way is exactly what we’ve been doing for more than 50 years. We’ve started businesses, grown businesses, sold businesses. We’ve developed entirely new retail models. And yes, we’ve created some of the country’s best known ad campaigns. There’s always a better way. Take it from an agency who’s not just in the advertising business. But in the business business.

Woodruff
Marketing Strategy
WE ARE GIANT SLAYERS - Giants are out there. Some are 9-Feet-Tall. Others are much bigger. You’ve encountered them before. Challenges, barriers, limitations. Basically, any menacing force hindering a brand’s success. They come in all shapes and sizes. As real as a top competitor, or as abstract as the fear of failure. Some giants are as large and apparent as available resources, a generic brand position or an unclear strategy. Others could be more obscure, such as the reluctance to embrace change, or a misconception of your audience. Giants are always in the way. Each one stands between a brand’s failure and its success. That’s where we come in. If you’ve got Giants, we’ve got Davids. It takes the kind people you wouldn’t expect to create unexpected solutions. We may not be the biggest or the strongest, but we know all it takes to bring down an adversary is confidence, clarity, and a precise execution.
Code Koalas
Web
GENERALLY AWESOME COMPANY - Code Koalas is a IT & Web company based in Kansas City, MO. There is a long story behind the name. Someday we'll type it up on a funny story page. But until then, the short version is that a small koala puppet ( belonging to our owner's daughter ) made it's way into our office, worked it's way up the corporate ladder to become the office mascot, and eventually became the face of the company. We enjoy what we do in cyberspace, and we like to have fun doing it. That being said, we take our customer service and solutions in the "real world" seriously. We want to provide you with real solutions - not technological frustrations. And we want to put those solutions in your control, not hold them over your head once your site is launched.
