As a marketing and advertising agency, we here at Encite see the value in a cohesive and coherent visual identity and branding system. A branding system is the foundation of the message you are communicating to your audience, how well they are receiving that message and whether they are responding to it. Over the course […]

Invoice Revenge
As a small business owner myself here in Denver, I have my hands in virtually every facet of my business. Not only do I participate in the advertising and marketing elements of creative, strategy and online, but I have to oversee accounting and invoicing, which isn’t something I really enjoy doing, to tell you the […]
The many lists of improvement
Whenever a new year starts, there is an influx of self-improvement articles, commentaries and lists. We here at Encite have been guilty of this although we can see some value in it. So we are going to provide one here today! In marketing and advertising, improvement is the key to successful initiatives, campaigns and programs. […]
Working within budgets
Advertising agencies have a big task. Clients come to us with a certain expectation on how their marketing and advertising is going to look, communicate and most importantly, provide results. As a Denver advertising agency, Encite still has the same challenges as the rest of the industry. We aren’t too worried about providing measurable and […]

A New Year is upon us, which gives us time to reflect on what we did well in 2012, what we did wrong and how we are going to improve in 2013. At Encite, we have put together a strategy of the goals we want to accomplish and the tactics needed to accomplish those goals. […]

Agency side versus client side
In advertising and marketing circles, conversations about working on the marketing agency side versus working as an in house marketing person are pretty common. Many people are partial to one side or the other, but each has their pros and cons. I think Denver is a pretty conventional market. We have several large companies that […]
Emotional connection to your brand
Advertising and marketing agencies salivate over certain clients. At least, Encite does. Well, not literally. Certain clients’ products and services make it easier on marketing agencies because of their fundamental offerings. These offerings tend to be easy to connect to an emotion, and emotion is a great influencer of buyer behavior. Whether you are aware […]
Big Decision: Bringing creative tasks in house
Small businesses obviously have many challenges, with many considerable decisions coming across business owners’ desks everyday. Budgetary concerns are constantly a big one, but the one that owners must inevitably face is addressing those tasks that they outsource. Outsourcing to vendors that specialize in certain fields are vital in creating and maintaining great work, which […]
Huge marketing and advertising blunder: American Apparel
I like American Apparel (AA). I have one of their shirts, although I am on the edge of being outside their target demographic. They have some edgy marketing and advertising campaigns that are designed to create awareness and controversy. Their marketing agency probably doesn’t have to pitch these advertising campaigns very hard to AA’s CEO, […]
