Brand Marketing + Campaigns

Lean marketing teams with big goals need a partner who does both brand and marketing. Not a siloed specialist who hands the next piece to someone else. A soup-to-nuts approach that treats your brand and your pipeline with the same obsession.

One team. Brand and marketing in the same motion.

Most agencies draw a line between brand and performance. Brand builds over years. Performance delivers this quarter. The honest answer is both compound when the same team runs them, and both suffer when nobody connects the thinking.

Atomicdust’s brand marketing program combines brand, web, traditional marketing and performance marketing for a holistic approach. Strategy, creative, campaigns, content, and channels. Built for companies that want a marketing department without hiring one, or for in-house teams that need horsepower and outside perspective.

We built this because our best clients kept asking for it. They wanted the branding agency to run the marketing too. We said yes, designed it properly, and now it’s its own thing.

How we take clients from square one to first place.

Four phases. One partnership.

Blueprint Meeting

The first step is our Blueprint Meeting, where we work with your team to analyze your needs, your industry, your audience, your goals—and outline how a modern marketing approach will define the way forward. Usually, that includes everything: a refreshed brand, optimized website, sales and marketing collateral, and digital campaigns that drive results.


Foundation

We guide your team through our Branding Program or Website Program—usually both. That way, we have a solid foundation that will support everything that comes after: a system for expressing who your company is and a digital home base that draws audiences in.


Growth

It’s time to go to market, armed with a suite of new marketing and sales materials, and digital campaigns reaching your ideal buyers. We’ll use every tool at our disposal: creative content, precision audience targeting, marketing automation and those good old fashioned unexpected ideas for getting noticed. The same team who created your brand is now building it, so no re-explaining the brief to a new vendor.


Review + Improve

We frequently take a step back to examine what worked, what didn’t, and how the market changed. We adjust the plan, reallocate budget and roll forward. The best brand marketing programs get better every quarter because the team is paying attention and willing to evolve.

Strategy, digital and creative—a dedicated team of specialists who stay with your brand as it grows.

What you get from a brand marketing partnership:

One team running brand and marketing, not two vendors competing

Strategy, creative and execution under one roof

A quarterly plan that keeps brand and pipeline moving together

Creative that sounds like your brand because we built your brand

Dedicated team members you’ll actually know by name

Monthly reporting tied to real business outcomes

A partner who scales with you, without a new SOW every quarter

A full team of specialists without the management headaches

Our philosophy on brand marketing is simple. The companies that win aren’t the ones with the biggest budget. They’re the ones where every channel, every campaign and every message reinforces the same story.

That kind of consistency is hard to build when three different vendors own three different pieces. It’s easy to build when one team owns all of it.

So we handle it all: The brand work that makes you distinct. The website that converts. The marketing that gets you visible. And the connective tissue between them that most agencies quietly skip.

The result is a marketing function that feels like an in-house team, without the hiring cycle or the single-point-of-failure when someone leaves.

We’ve designed this for lean marketing teams with ambitious goals. One-person marketing departments leveling up. VPs who need more horsepower than their current setup. Companies between hiring a CMO and hiring a team. All of the above.

Digital Marketing is the channel work: paid, SEO, content, email, the engine that produces and distributes campaigns. Brand Marketing is the full partnership: the brand strategy, website design and development, creative direction, marketing approach and the digital marketing execution, all under one retainer with one team. If you already have a brand and website that work and just need execution firepower, Digital Marketing may be the fit. If you need more comprehensive support, our Brand Marketing Partnership is built for that.

Brand Marketing Partnership retainers are typically two years long, in the low five figures per month. The scope usually includes a Branding Program, Website Program, go-to-market materials and ongoing Digital Marketing—but we customize it based on your specific needs.

Not always. If your positioning, messaging and visual identity are strong, we can move straight into the website and marketing work. If they’re fragmented or outdated, we usually recommend a short brand foundation phase upfront, because marketing that reinforces an unclear brand is how you end up spending twice as much and getting half the impact.

Testimonials

In their own words.

  • “WOW, I think City Museum’s website is the BEST ATTRACTION website I have ever seen.You so brilliantly captured the essence of this place in the brand study (which isn’t an easy thing to do) and then did an equally spectacular job of transporting that to the website. The messaging is on point, the site is clever and fun yet still easy to use, we are super pleased!”

    Traci Blanks, Parks Premier

  • “We asked Atomicdust to create new branding and a new website for our design-led architecture firm ahead of the launch of our new office in San Francisco.Mike Spakowski and Erika Cruse surpassed every expectation with edgy, artistic, inspirational designs. We can’t wait to see the impact their branding has on our new practice in the Bay Area. Atomicdust is a great firm with fantastic talent, and well worth the investment. St Louis is lucky to have them.”

    Ann Wimsatt

  • “We were incredibly fortunate to have been able to work with the Atomicdust team.Erika, Rosie, Rich, Glendon, Christen, and others who made every effort behind the scene to create this amazing website! When things were difficult, they helped us a lot with their creativity and their positive let’s-see-what-we-can-do attitude to solve issues and move forward.”

    Mimi Motobayashi

  • “The world of digital advertising can be a bit chaotic and noisy;having Atomicdust guide us through has been a great experience.”

    Rick Hensel

  • “Atomicdust is a world-class marketing agency and we’re lucky to count them as a trusted advisor to our business.AD did outstanding work helping us redefine our narrative such that it reflects exactly who we are and what we do. With the exact right language and nuance. They then took this narrative and built a stunning new website to showcase our story. AD listened to our needs, was deeply collaborative, and worked hard to ensure all the nuances we required were translated into our new public positioning. We could not be happier with our new brand and website, which consistently results in positive feedback from our clients and helps us reach prospects thanks to its crystal clear messaging and visually powerful design.”

    Geoffrey Hamlyn, COO

  • “We’ve been getting so many compliments from different people.The look and feel of the website is right on target.”
