Our Story
"The only thing that is constant is change."
Heraclitus
We came from corporate PR. We came from agencies. We came from media. Because of our experience, we knew there was a demand for a more efficient, more service-oriented approach to a marketing communications agency. So we created SPEC.
What makes us different?
First, we care. Our agency isn’t built on the backs of overworked account coordinators clamoring for their next step up the ladder. Our results are not held back by VPs who pitch business and disappear. We all live it. Daily. Because we all value it. Dearly.
Second, we understand. Our experience working in-house at big brands and on-roster at some of the biggest agencies provides us with a unique perspective that allows us to integrate into your culture and become an extension of your team. We thrive on flexibility and driving strategic visions. We believe in our culture, but we don’t force it on you. We integrate into your work flow and extend your capabilities, and we all benefit from our combined experience to help shape goals and map plans to achieve them.
Finally, we’re curious. Our experience informs our expertise, but our personality feeds our evolution. We love our start up culture, and we thrive in our changing industry. We love origin stories and evolving narratives, because we are storytellers making the most of the every-changing communication landscape. Tell us your story. We'll help you tell everyone else.
