Caspari McCormick, the agency, has been around since 2001. Matt Caspari and Sean McCormick, the guys who began it, have been around somewhat longer. Long enough to work in places like New York, London, Chicago, Philadelphia and Richmond, for folks like Cliff Freeman, Saatchi and Saatchi, DDB Needham and Earle Palmer Brown. Long enough to do creative on brands like Burger King and Sperry Topsider and Sam Adams beer. Long enough to witness all kinds of ways to conduct the brand building process. And to develop a philosophy of our own. Too often, clients and agencies sit across the table from each other – not just physically, but psychologically. Too often, account reps leave the creative force too distant from both the client and the product for the work to accurately reflect not just the advertising strategy, but the personality of the brand. We don’t work that way. We see clients as partners, not as an inconvenient something to be managed. We see award-winning work not as an end in itself, but as an essential ingredient in effectively delivering a differentiating thought. We see our job as going beyond the big assignments to the little pieces that sometimes determine whether a brand maintains consistency and truly gains traction. And we’re happy to say, we see results.
