About
SS+K was forged in the crucible of politics, where change was the name of the game even before we helped Obama make it official in ’08. As a result, we thrive when the pressure is on, the time is short, and the stakes are high. Thinking politically and acting creatively means we work harder, move faster and ask smarter questions to distill the world’s most complex challenges into bigger, bolder, more unconventional ideas. We methodically mine culture and purposefully transcend channels to make work that lands and lasts.
For nearly 30 years, we’ve worked with both disruptors and the disrupted. And while some see change as an insurmountable obstacle, we see it as an incredible opportunity to reset, rediscover and redefine what comes next.
We are:
Creatively Driven. We are all about the product we make. Everyone here signs up to make the best work for our clients. It’s what gets us up in the morning and keeps us going when the process gets difficult. We believe that smart, creative thinking can change everything and make everyone happy.
Truth Inspired. We put a premium on strategy, for work without a strong strategic insight is hollow and fleeting. Our Social Forces Monitor keeps track of emerging consumer truths and trends that could affect brands and causes alike. It becomes central to our briefs and guides our work.
Mission Based. We grew out of politics but kept the spirit of the political war room as a way to work together. We insist upon being nimble, lean, fiercely integrated, and upon healthy collaboration with our clients. Our mentality is that regardless of a cause or a brand there is a winner and a loser.
SS+K is part of M&C Saatchi Worldwide, a global network with a range of capabilities across 26 offices.
Our network integrates disciplines across media, technology, brand strategy, data analytics, CRM & direct response, talent management, mobile, PR, media planning and shopper marketing, all of which are tools and methodologies we can tap into in addition to in-house capabilities across this wide variety of disciplines in the complex global landscape.
