Advertising
Advertising has changed drastically in recent years. Gone are the days of passive impressions—now every ad needs to engage, inspire, and convert in seconds.
Depending on the goal, our approach runs the gamut from ROAS-driven direct response to amplifying your brand's narrative and getting it in front of the right audiences to make a lasting impact. We test. We learn. We are data-driven, creatively bold, and always on the pulse of what’s next. From influencer partnerships to social ads that drive engagement, to precision-targeted, full-funnel programmatic campaigns, we craft strategies that not only meet your goals but exceed them.

Campaigns
Don’t just reach your target audience. Wow them.
Fortune favors the bold. There are only two types of ideas that work: simple ideas and big ideas. While we make it a point to get into the nitty gritty details on every product and service we work with, it’s the distillation of those details into a broader, better message where we really earn our keep.
You’ve got less than one second to catch someone’s attention. Make it count.

We look beyond the obvious and tap into underutilized strategies, ensuring your brand isn’t just keeping pace—but setting the pace.
We prioritize speed without sacrificing quality, using performance metrics to fine-tune every move. Whether it’s building viral referral systems, optimizing user funnels, or leveraging niche platforms, our methods are designed to generate momentum quickly.
Influencer/Talent
More than just likes and follows.
Influencers/creators have emerged as key to authentic connections and gateways to audiences who trust their recommendations, and, in turn, invest in your brand. At CROWN, we don’t simply match you with well-known names; we carefully select quality influencers/creators whose communities genuinely engage with and believe in their voice.
By leveraging these partnerships, we build your brand’s credibility and visibility in a way that fosters long-term customer relationships. From micro-influencers driving niche conversations to larger campaigns that make headlines, each strategy is tailored to amplify your message and deliver measurable results.
To faciliate these partnerships, CROWN launched VICARIOUS, a creative talent agency with a modern twist.
Marketing
Our goals are always two-fold: although your business KPIs are always our raison d'être, and the holy grail is to uncover a blue ocean strategy or unaddressed customer pain points, our special sauce is in defining a timeless visual vocabulary that communicates your company's mission, vision, and values (the "why") while also cutting through the noise and grabbing your audiences' attention. As a strategy-led marketing firm, we uncover insights that move hearts and steal minds.
Whether engaging in market research, mapping KPIs to your acquisition funnel, defining or segmenting your audience, fine-tuning your unique selling proposition (USP), modifying your products' positioning, prioritizing marketing channels, allocating budget or designing evaluation, feedback, and optimization processes, we dogmatically defend your brand against internal and external amateur efforts, watered-down messaging, and half-assed plans.
Media Training+
Master the Moment!
Up-to-date Social Media and Video training workshops by CROWN's team of social media maven-savants.
Our professional media training program emphasizes the art of mastering selfie-style, talking head videos, live streaming on platforms like Instagram, TikTok & Twitch, and basic blocking & tackling like lenses, lighting, and other tips & tricks. Our sessions are designed to help clients confidently engage with their audience over social and in real-time, fine-tuning on-screen presence and teaching techniques for maintaining authenticity while effectively communicating key messages.
The program covers everything from setting up the perfect shot and lighting to handling live interactions without a script. We also focus on strategies for increasing viewer engagement and managing live feedback dynamically. Through practical exercises and personalized coaching, CROWN prepares clients to leverage these popular formats, ensuring they can connect with their audience compellingly and spontaneously, driving preference along with awareness and recall as part of a well-balanced social media strategy.
Research+
Hit a moving target.
Culture moves at a frenetic pace. Work with an agency that keeps its finger on the pulse of the zeitgeist and can give your company strategy that matters.
As a strategy-led creative shop, CROWN’s specialty is uncovering insights that move hearts and steal minds. We do the research to identify the problem, do more research to identify the tension, and then even more research to identify the solution.
Our proprietary social dashboard lets you know exactly how your business stands up against the competition, where your customers and prospects are talking about you and your products, and keeps you informed about sudden changes that affect your brand.
We scrape the web to uncover valuable insights that can help prioritize the platforms and individuals with the greatest potential for engagement. Reporting can be customized to your needs, but typically includes: ecosystem mapping, traffic drivers, share of voice, influencer and superfan rankings and profiles, sentiment analysis, geographic profiling, viral campaign tracking, publishing metrics, conversation volume / share of voice, trends by platform, user engagement statistics, and more.
Strategy+
Move hearts, steal minds. Emotional impact makes a lasting impression. Our focus on storytelling ensures you create a conversation with your audience, instead of just talking at them.
We go the extra mile to truly understand your consumer, your brand, and your category. But being strategic doesn’t mean we can’t tell a great story. Our agency has a rich legacy of taking brand truths and objectives, then coming up with creative ways to tell their story in a way that cuts through the noise on social and makes a meaningful impact on their target audience.
Social media marketing is more than just posting on Instagram and TikTok. It’s an opportunity to understand your vertical like never before, enhance relationships with existing customers, and recruit new customers all over the world. Pro tip: you should definitely test your campaigns here before blowing your wad on that Superbowl ad.
An effective strategy requires a deep understanding of traditional marketing concepts and expertise in emerging media. It aligns with your business goals while resonating with the most hyper-saturated, attention-deficient audience in history. It integrates perfectly with your other interactive and above-the-line marketing initiatives, and allows for accurate and timely measurement.
Creative strategy grounded in traditional marketing fundamentals. Mixed with proximity to culture and technology expertise, it’s a game-changer.
Voice+
Voice is quite possibly the future of UI and is currently one of marketing’s new frontiers.
In addition to developing and placing audio ads with podcasts and music streaming sites, we are also well-versed in developing skills, strategies, and optimizations/placements for AI-based virtual assistants like Alexa, Cortana, Siri and Google Assistant.
