To be honest, which is something we take pride in being, a paragraph of words probably isn’t the best way to communicate what we’re about—no offense to our copywriters. But the strategic thinking that’s applied in everything we do doesn’t really translate well onto paper. The passion we put into our work — that’s something you feel, not read. And our collaborative spirit and positive attitudes...well those you just have to see to believe. And we hope you do. Besides, we much prefer two-way conversation. Where we can talk, but mostly listen. And we genuinely enjoy getting to know you not just on a business level, but a human level. Because we’re not just marketing people, we’re the best damn marketing people you’ll actually like.2004 was a good year. The Lightning won the Stanley Cup and Trickey Jennus, a full-service branding, marketing and media services company, was founded. After 20 years of steady growth, we’ve built a talented team of professionals, a healthy portfolio of partners and a solid reputation for being a pleasure to work with. The company has expanded its staff, capabilities and its client roster to include sectors such as healthcare, government, retail, industrial, higher education, economic development, community and several non-profit efforts. We’ve helped to successfully brand businesses and institutions, local and regional clients, by focusing on strategy and trackable results.So, what does it mean to be a full-service agency? Let’s just say if we were a car wash, we'd offer you “The Works.”BRAND STRATEGY CREATIVE CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT & EXECUTIONMEDIA STRATEGY & PLANNINGMEDIA MANAGEMENT & REPORTING
