Denmark The Agency
Denmark the Agency
July 15, 2015
The business of promoting your company’s offerings and growing profitable revenue has been turned on its head. In a good way. The once discrete spaces of technology and marketing have been integrated to the point where it’s impossible to talk about reaching and influencing audiences without discussing interactions facilitated through new technology and channels.
Denmark works with brands to connect strategy and creative with technology in a seamless, turnkey way. From the brand story, selling proposition and marketing strategy to the design, build, and activation of tactics – regardless of channel – we have the talent and expertise to deliver on the promise of originality and purposeful communications that perform.
Nowadays, just about anyone can build a website with WordPress or use Facebook or Google tools to create an ad, or buy a logo through Fiverr and call it a brand. But what these should convey is deeper than that and too important to just let anyone do. Someone once said there are two types of painters in the world: those that paint walls and those that paint portraits. Some work is common, barely noticeable, and inherently forgettable. The other is memorable and lasting with meaningful layers and nuances that unfold over time.
Your brand deserves to be a portrait.
We can help you transform smart ideas into serious gain.

2017 is going to be a transformative year in many ways but none more so than in the business-consumer relationship. The way in which these two entities connect and interact is undergoing a massive overhaul. Most importantly, the communication flows both ways. The days of a one-way monologue, at the customer, are over. Instead there must be a real-time, two-way dialogue with the customer. Consumers have an abundance of channels at their disposal and can effortlessly communicate with brands - or about brands - like never before.

Customer loyalty is built upon consistently positive, high-value experiences with a brand, often exceeding customer expectations. Loyalty goes beyond satisfying needs or wants. It’s an emotional connection to a brand that customers love and will happily return for. However, genuine customer loyalty is something few brands attain.

As consumers, we’ve begun to note these “experiences” as normal in this day and age of brands vying for our loyalty. What companies are beginning to realize though, are that these types of moments are only experiential for certain consumers and often leave those with disabilities left unattended to.

Six pieces of Business Advice to Get Your Career Going

July 09, 2015
Corporate America is so much more than numbers, revenue, profits and earnings. When you get down to the nitty-gritty of it, there are underlying principles (protocols and pecking orders) that must be navigated, but you won’t find it discussed in any college lecture hall or part of any new employee orientation program.

So, when I was recently asked to write a letter of advice to my niece who recently graduated with honors (Go Katie!) from high school, it left me reflecting on guidance I never received as I entered the working world, but wished that I had.

Today, I want to share with you some points from that letter, which I believe you’ll find helpful, or at least interesting. It’s intended for those who are currently in the corporate world, have or know kids making their way into this often cold cruel world or anyone who has questions about building a successful career.

32 Powerful Women Share Their Hopes and Dreams for the Leaders of the Future
Entrepreneur
March 30, 2018
"As a female that has worked in many male-dominate industries, I take my role as a mentor to other females very seriously. But being a mentor is often something that can be overlooked -- especially with how busy everyone seems to be. I hope the next generation remembers the people who took the time to mentor them and they pay it forward.

"While women have come a long way in business, there are still not enough female leaders, especially in the C-suite and serving on boards. We need to take accountability for that and help propel the next generation of women into these roles. In order to do this, we need to train the next generation to be able to be successful leaders by zooming in to understand discrete issues, while still being able to look at the overarching issues that affect the entire organization and connect the dots between the two."

CustomerBliss - Human Duct Tape Show
November 29, 2016
Donna Peeples was the Chief Customer Officer at AIG — obviously a large company. Now she holds the same role at Pypestream, an enterprise mobile messaging platform. Pypestream is a much smaller company than AIG, currently existing in startup mode. But according to Donna, her role — and the steps she progresses through — are/were the same in both contexts. The biggest differences between “enterprise” and “startup” from a CCO perspective are the scale of the work and the need to protect an established legacy and culture in the enterprise example. Other than that, much of CCO work — especially in the early going — is similar regardless of company size.

Double-Edged Data: How the Insurance Industry Can Optimize for Trust
CFSI EMERGE
May 15, 2019
From fitness trackers to smart homes, the insurance industry is beginning to realize the potential of connected devices and big data to drive improvements across the insurance value chain.

Insurers’ underwriting and risk mitigation may also become less transparent and more inequitable as they apply increasingly sophisticated tools. Hear from companies and partnerships at the forefront of these issues who are attempting to maximize trust with consumers while minimizing risk.
