Scared of Commitment?

Many times we walk into a potential or current client’s office and just sit down and chat. We like to keep it casual… that’s how we roll. Lately, we have been discovering that many companies have put off marketing themselves during the “Great Recession” and are now in dire need of many tactics.

Top Secret Success

Posted by Tripp Co in Uncategorized on August 4, 2011

Keeping our client’s secrets is tougher than we thought. Every year our client attends a large industry trade show where they host a private dinner event for their best distributors and clients. This year’s theme was a Monte Carlo-esque casino night mixed with a James Bond theme.

From the outset we knew we wanted [...]

Drupal vs. WordPress

Posted by Tripp Co in Our thinking on May 27, 2011

Just to be clear, the purpose of this post is to explain why we feel a Drupal-based website has advantages over Wordpress for many larger web sites we design and develop . Don’t get us wrong. We use Wordpress for many sites (in fact you are on one right now) that don’t require advanced functionality and are truly just meant as an electronic brochure. In fact, we agree that Wordpress has a much more user friendly interface than Drupal does when it comes out of the box. The difference comes in with our ability to customize the experience for you…

Staying true to our beliefs

Posted by Tripp Co in Our thinking on January 14, 2011

When Tripp Co. Creative was formed, I did so with three priorities in mind — doing great work, treating people really well, and exceeding client expectations. I also made a decision early on that we would never work for bad people

Reflections on the past year

Posted by Tripp Co in Our thinking on November 5, 2010

As I sat here at my desk today, I looked at my iCal and realized we had forgotten to celebrate our one year anniversary. The company has successfully weathered our first year and we are well into year two. We have been so busy that the milestone just came and went, luckily.

It’s funny to [...]

I’ll take some Cholula Sauce with my marketing campaign please…

It is integral that businesses today, large and small, focus on welcoming the Hispanic population as a part of their marketing campaigns. In order to target this market, time must be taken to research this ever thriving population effectively.

They’re here. They’re Queer. Tap into it.

As marketers, we are alway looking for dems that are not only willing to spend money, but are trend setters and adventurers. Did you know there is a demographic out there that fits that profile? And if your company isn’t marketing specifically to this group, you could be missing out on a generous revenue stream.

Social Media Marketing is all the rage. Sure, you want to tweet and post and blog and connect, but who has the time? Just as you sit down to the computer, get in your writing groove, your boss comes in and wants a proposal out by EOD. Stop crying. We can help.

Client or customer?

Posted by Tripp Co in Our thinking, Uncategorized on December 18, 2009

What’s the difference you ask? Well let’s look at the proper definition first:

Customer: 1. a person who purchases goods or services from a store or business.

Client: 1. a person or group using the professional advice or services of a lawyer, accountant, advertising agency, architect, etc.

To us, the choice is clear. We are [...]

I can’t hear you over your crappy website

Posted by Tripp Co in Our thinking, Uncategorized on November 19, 2009

Am I the only one that has noticed that many of the “branding experts” and “marketing gurus” have, shall we say, less than stellar Web sites and marketing materials?

Come on guys (and gals). If you are going to the top of the mountain to preach at us that you know the way to marketing [...]
