SOCIAL-CENTRIC
We like to say that we are social-centric. What does this mean? It means we help our clients thrive in a social world. Think about it. Being social requires you to build trust, engage in two-way communication, pick up on non-verbal cues, and analyze interactions. For many of us this is subconscious in our day-to-day interactions.
As it applies to our clients, we purposefully conduct business in a way that is mindful of your community, by being authentic and making contributions to the community. We listen, connect, and reach out to others — we are stronger together.
The world is very much online. We partner with clients to ensure they remain socially-connected, working closely together to determine the best mix of marketing and advertising to tell their stories and achieve their goals.
ABOUT US
Think Tank is a Louisville marketing, advertising, and public relations agency rooted in social storytelling. For 15 years, we've partnered with small businesses, arts organizations, and touring productions to shape their story and reach their goals.
Our relationships in this community are a real asset, built over 15 years working alongside local press, businesses, and arts organizations, and we put them to work for every client we take on. We're also a small team by design: when you work with Think Tank, you work directly with the people actually doing the work, not an account manager, and not an outsourced freelancer you'll never meet.
We build and execute the full social-centric marketing plan ourselves: strategy, social media, messaging, press and media relations, promotions and events, and advertising. Every client's mix looks different, and our long-term relationships let us adjust as needs change, not just at the start of a campaign, but for as long as we work together.
