I remember for years my mother asking me, “what is it that you do anyway?” Well, I really couldn’t say in a few words so I would simply explain, “well, I make other people successful.”
In a way, I was telling her the truth, because at the heart of everything that Spatula Media + Communications does, is try to make someone more successful than they are already.
How we do that is a blend of science, alchemy and … well, not really … we do use tools to monitor how successful our clients are, but our basic premise is to listen and then advise them on a strategic plan of attack and see that plan through to completion.
A lot of what we do is based on our collective experiences as well as the clients. They know best what their business is really all about, but what we bring to the table is the creative side of things that enable us to maybe look at their business with a fresh set of eyes.
We’ve got a lot of years under our belt and we trust our gut feelings. Beyond that, it’s just caring for the client (many of whom have become our friends) and giving them old-fashioned, honest service. It’s as simple as that.
