The S3 Agency is a creative agency that specializes in helping marketers maximize the power and profitability of their brands. Since 2001, we’ve been elevating brands, including consumer, business-to-business, and not-for-profit organizations. And as a WBENC-certified woman-owned small business (WOSB), we also help our clients meet their diversity goals.
S3 stands for a System of Threes. Three is the smallest number that can be used to form a pattern, making human brains very receptive to groups of three.
The S3 Agency unleashes brands with a three-step process, and uses advertising, marketing, and public relations to activate and amplify their messages.
But it’s not all about us; it’s about you, too. You count to three before you jump. You cherish life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. You’ve heard a few stories about a priest, a rabbi, and a minister.
A System of Threes. It’s how people like to hear things, experience things and express things. Simply. Powerfully. Memorably. It’s how The S3 Agency got started, it’s how we operate, and it’s how we’d like to work with you. On your mark. Get set. Go!
We are relentlessly curious, creative problem solvers.
We seize the initiative. We are driven to satisfy our clients, our coworkers, and ourselves.
We own our responsibility for getting things done, including asking for the help we need.
We believe good is the enemy of great. We thrive on great.
We bring positivity to our productivity, so we can enjoy the ride together.
