PYRO BRAND DEVELOPMENT

Pyro Brand Development was formed in 1994 to serve as an advanced practices division of The Richards Group, the largest privately held agency in the U.S. Now functioning as a separate operating unit with continued strategic ties to The Richards Group, we are internationally recognized for developing innovative, integrated marketing communications that connect the essence of a brand to the psyche of the consumer. Our combined experience in strategic planning, graphic design, advertising, direct marketing, interactive marketing, promotions and public relations makes us truly unique.

Philosophies

Two primary philosophies guide our company and the recommendations we make to clients:

1. Present a problem to a typical advertising agency and they'll tell you the answer is advertising. The same holds true for public relations, interactive, direct marketing, and sales promotion firms as well. But marketing problems and the solutions to them are rarely one-dimensional. For this reason, we take a holistic approach to developing a plan so clients get a marketing mix that makes the most sense for their brand.

2. A "me-too" marketing approach is tantamount to brand suicide. Why is there so much formulaic stuff around?  Fear.  Companies benchmark the competition and then emulate or repeat their communication strategies. What they should be doing is charting their own course. The goal should not be to match the competition. The goal should be to beat them. With so much noise out there, it's extremely difficult to make an impression on a consumer when you're repeating someone else's creative message.

Little Big Agency

Unlike other firms our size, we deliver the focus, streamlined performance, culture and cost efficiency of a small agency along with the ability to tap the international resources of our strategic partners at any time. Our alliance with The Richards Group makes us large enough to handle any size workload but small enough to deliver the degree of service you would expect from a smaller agency.We also deliver the negotiating muscle of a huge agency without the overhead. We have access to the latest research and state-of-the-art computer systems to plan, buy, and control media campaigns.

Accolades

Our campaigns have been prominently featured in Graphis, the leading international magazine of design and communication.
