Expert. Intuitive. Imaginative.

We pride ourselves on supporting our clients as a proactive part of their marketing team. These are some of our core strengths that set us apart.

Market Knowledge

“You don’t have time to teach us your business.”

Our clients rely on us to understand their business as well as they do. We’re quick studies. We get smart, creative work the first time, without rounds of do-overs and delays. And we come to the table with strong channel market knowledge, so you don’t have to bring us up to speed. This saves you time and hassle, and gives you confidence you’ll get great work fast.

Strategic Insight

“Strategy means nothing until you put it into action.”

Smart strategy lies behind everything we do, and we’re great at simplifying complex market dynamics into clear and specific action plans to take you where you want to go. But our clients also value our intuitive insight, which brings a fresh perspective to their marketing challenges. We often nudge — and when necessary, shove — clients in directions they hadn’t considered before. It’s knowledge-based wisdom, mixed with gut instinct to create a little magic. Because we know you won’t achieve breakthrough results by following the same old path.

Agility

“Marketing needs to act at the speed of business.”

The marketplace is changing, which means the way you reach customers is also changing — constantly. We’re structured to act quickly to help you take advantage of unexpected opportunities to gain a competitive advantage. Our fast-paced environment was made to operate at the speed of business, so rest assured no matter what you need, we’ve got you covered.

Honest Interaction

“Nobody ever accused us of being subtle.”

The Scots are known for being pragmatic and honest. We don’t mince words. Not only will we tell you if your shirt doesn’t match your pants, we’ll be forthcoming when it comes to your business as well. Open, honest relationships are important — and rare — in business today. Anybody can tell you what you want to hear, but we’ll tell you what you need to know. Even when it might ruffle some feathers. Call us crazy, but we happen to believe a healthy exchange of ideas leads to better results. We’re committed to earning your trust, and with trust comes confidence — confidence that we’re always acting on your behalf.

Flawless Execution

“We’re not satisfied unless we surprise you with “wow.”

Great ideas, great work and great service are all Tartan trademarks. We’re committed to surprising you with excellence, delivering work that is on time, on target and on budget — no excuses. Our disciplined workflow processes ensure a high standard of work, and we measure our success by how well we exceed your expectations.
