Working with PIC: Our Process, Values, and Team
Welcome to PIC, a growth-oriented agency driven by the belief that great marketing is about more than just selling products—it's about building relationships with your customers and creating meaningful connections that last.
Partners vs. Paintbrush
There are marketing agencies we refer to as "Paintbrush Agencies" that work from directives delivered by their clients. They do as they are told.
With our 20+ years of industry experience, we are more effective as an extension of your marketing department and a strategic Partner that helps you define and roadmap a path to success.
Our clients invest a lot in our partnership—time, resources, money—with the expectation that we will help them grow their business. We, in turn, highly value each relationship and want to ensure it is a solid one. This means getting to know each other, understanding your business objectives, and aligning our experience and expertise to solve for your challenges.
Think of us as an extension of your marketing team, achieving long-term success through a common objective: profitable growth at your pace.
We’re successful when our customers thrive.
We walk with our clients, helping businesses with every step of their growth journey by providing flexible and measurable marketing strategies. You and your clients are our Heroes, and we employ our broad skill set to guide you and your Heroes on successful Missions:
We emphasize transparency and collaboration and involve our clients in every step of the process through regular updates, reports, and conversations.
We use a data-driven approach to measure the success of our campaigns, make data-backed decisions to optimize our strategies, and are always available to answer any questions or concerns our clients may have.
