Shirley/Hutchinson CreativeWorks

<p> A Personal Note from John Shirley:</p><p></p><p>"Thirty years ago, I founded a project-driven creative-advertising company that’s done award-winning work with Bristol-Myers Squibb, Baxter Medical, GE, Lockheed Martin, Marriott, The Eaton Corporation and other Fortune 500 corporations. We’ve also been hired by regional brands, especially restaurant chains: Firehouse Subs, Checkers, The Melting Pot, The Palm and others. We’ve worked in every type of traditional and social media, all with an emphasis on strategic branding.</p><p></p><p>We still look forward to projects for regional and national businesses. But we also want to leverage that tested, Fortune 500 ingenuity for smaller, entrepreneurial companies.</p><p></p><p>Our primary benefit is simple: a project-driven approach. This model doesn’t disrupt in-house marketing or any existing external relationships. Instead, we take on key projects that have been “orphaned”, shuffled to the back of the line, unsuccessfully executed, or just plain overlooked. In many cases, we find opportunities in search of more firepower.</p><p></p><p>While we offer all of the deliverables offered by traditional full-service agencies, we don’t require annual contracts. Instead, our turnkey projects are estimated up front … so the client knows the final cost before we start. In addition to an internal creative department, we maintain a consortium composed of “best-of-breed” specialists. Many of these relationships go back decades, and they allow us to off optimum value for every client investment."​</p>
