ABOUT SOLV MARKETING?

This world is filled with change. The digital world is constantly evolving and it tells us more about who we are and where we are going everyday. The big challenge to overcome for the marketing world is not just understanding that technology that connects us, but creating things within those spaces that bring people together.

At SOLV, we spend everyday finding new ways to bring technology and creativity together. Most agencies focus solely on the "next big idea" and push creative teams to churn out massive amounts of work that many times misses the mark. On the flip side, you have agencies that focus so heavily on measuring and optimizing they take the life right out of their campaigns. The brilliance happens when you unite those two worlds. We see the digital space as the greatest opportunity for a creative person to thrive. Whether we are speaking to someone on website, social media, at an event, or in a virtual world our goal is simple. Use technology to learn more about a person so that the art we create speaks to them.
