We believe that an evolving mix of marketing vehicles generally
does a better job than over reliance on just one or two. And, we believe
that reaching your target audiences in unpredictable ways definitely
enhances the quality of the impressions. We encourage our clients to
be bold, surprising, and always positive.
IMAGE STANDARDS. For most clients we initiate the development
of a marketing platform, beginning with graphic standards, consistency
controls, top-notch corporate and sales materials and, where necessary,
logo enhancements.
PUBLIC RELATIONS COMPONENT. We then strongly recommend a
two-tiered public relations effort: personnel changes and then special
PR initiatives, which are events that we plan and time to have real
impact when it will count the most.
REINFORCEMENT. We reinforce these efforts with direct mail, and the
appropriate mix of advertising to create campaigns that are obviously
coordinated efforts and that are aimed at informative and forceful impressions
on the target audiences. Newsletters that are truly interesting and
genuinely informative are often recommended as another way to communicate
without obviously barraging clients with constant selling, while still
achieving a deeper relationship with recipients nonetheless.
EXPERIENCE STILL MATTERS. Solid and dependable business growth
requires a sure-footed marketing effort. Legend offers our clients a
wide variety of experience, an abiding commitment to creativity, and
an excellent business sense when it comes to budgeting and cost controls.
However, these controls are not conservative in nature; rather they
are aimed at maximum benefit and quality.
AGGRESSIVENESS. We promote our clients'
services and products aggressively and extensively, aiming at dominance
and leadership in their industry for them. Investment in marketing success
is the best investment for a business that we know of. The returns on
creativity, consistency, commitment and dedication to quality will outperform
any stock, bond, or deal that may come along. It will enhance employees'
confidence and pride in the company, and it will help retain current
customers and business. We aggressively advocate a strong and continuing
investment in the image and marketing of our clients' companies. We
know it pays off.
This approach has resulted in a steady growth in our billings and the
stature of our clients, and, importantly, it has given us the luxury
of an excellent record of client retention for over 20 years.
ACCOUNT SERVICE. Our system of account service is directed
at maintaining contact with each client on several levels: media services,
printing and collateral services, public relations, estimating, billing
services, regular conversations about the agency-client relationship,
and about planning ahead. There are generally just one or two Legend
representatives for each client. The President & Creative Director
is involved with every client. Our innovative Internet Courier System
makes the process easy and very convenient from almost anywhere in
the
world.
BUSINESS PRACTICES. Our business systems allow for very easy
access to all personnel, at all levels. We strive for a high degree
of professionalism with a minimum of formality. We generally experience
easy and trusting client relations with a minimum of meetings, with
a lot of interchange and routine contacts. You will have to judge for
yourself, but everything we do, all of our systems and practices and
our overall approach are all geared to one thing: to be the easiest-to-work-with
agency you have ever encountered.
