www.schoolofthought.com   Strong brands know how to lead.

 It takes large doses of critical thinking and creativity.  We deliver both, in spades.   We started as a creative boutique in 2009. Now that’s timing. Soon, we were killing ourselves with our first big client, while the media agency was recycling last year's plan. So we asked the client to let us handle the media, too, and they did.    We kept growing, and adding services. Today, we can do just about anything: Media planning and buying. Video production. Content and sites. Branding. Stunts and activations. What does this all mean, for you? Effective, efficient work. And, dare we say, more than a little accountability.

Resin Advertising
Resin Advertising

Six years ago three partners were introduced to their first CCRC. We had Fortune 500 experience in healthcare, lifestyle, technology, and financial campaigns (A big shout out to all the wonderful ad agency folks we worked with!) but we were newbies to the business of senior living communities. Today, Resin has helped move more seniors into premier retirement communities than any other advertising agency in California. In fact, per square foot, Resin has marketed what is arguably the most expensive real estate in the country. We've had the good fortuned to connect and work with senior living brand champions who are very aware that their market is shifting and are adamant about creating work that connects. Resin has repositioned, rebranded, and relaunched senior living communities in California, Ohio, Wisconsin, Kansas, North Carolina, and Virginia. We craft digital and analog stories, narratives, and content that transform senior living community brands. Our clients are more competitive, gain deeper brand equity, and elevate their brand to reward current residents, staff, and management. In fact, ask us about true "ROI" (Return On Involvement) and how our clients build brand champions from within. Once you see the work, you'll never look at a senior living community branding the same way again. When you want to talk to seniors, talk to us. www.resinadvertising.com or drop by and see how we think about seniors. and what they're thinking about. http://resinadvertising.com/blog/

Our work includes branding, advertising, social media strategy, media planning, events, and video production. We see optimal results when we're integrated with the teams we serve. Not unlike Katy Perry, our industry is undergoing a frenzied yet often misguided struggle to reinvent itself. Consultancies are buying agencies. Agencies are calling themselves consultancies. The plot has been lost. Let's remember what works: smart people—clients and agencies alike—working together to consume data, insights and research, and then listen to something more powerful than spreadsheets: their hearts.
