183 Degrees Strategic Solutions Information

In 2010, 183 was founded to address the issues experienced with leading advertising agencies over years as a marketing executive at Kimberly Clark, Covidien and medical device start-ups. 183 takes a 180 approach to the 3 dimensions of agency-client relationships that are key to success, but often missed: integrity, achievement and joy. Although it’s in vogue now, we’ve been a virtual agency for over a decade. During this time, we have developed hyper-efficient model that enables marketers to deliver outstanding campaigns without the high costs and difficult process you find with large agencies. Every client gets insights only from experienced partners, no extra overhead, no commissions or marked up pass-through expenses. Since we’re not a large public company, we’re not beholden to investors to drive short-term profit. This freedom means no long-term contracts, no retainers, no selling work you won’t need and no reducing staff quality to gain more margin. We seek to be a long-term strategic partner and advocate for talented marketing executives with the highest integrity. We’re here to drive your sales and boost your career through work we can both be proud of. Although we don’t have long-term contacts, many of our clients have been with us for 5+ years. We saw a big need for upgrading the quality of work and results most companies receive from their ad agency. The gap lies in the fact that most brands don’t have budgets to attract a top large agency and the talent hat comes with it. Smaller agencies usually don’t have the experience or resources to deliver the quality of top shops. Using a small team of experienced large agency vets in all the key functional areas, strategy, creative and media, 183 replicates the quality and breadth of a large agency in a leaner, more efficient package.
