We are defined by the pride we take in everything that leaves our shop. 

The Sutter Group (TSG) is a fun group of strategists, taskmasters, creative thinkers, writers, researchers, artists, forward-thinkers and community leaders, all focused on a common goal: Making our clients successful.

What Makes Us Different from Other Marketing & Web Design Agencies?

Medium Neutral

We are NEVER swayed by the latest marketing fad or shiny new tactic. Instead, we analyze our clients' challenges from all angles and work collaboratively to create a multi-faceted, integrated approach that employs mediums and tactics that will best achieve the intended objective.

Form and Function

One of the chief reasons TSG is better than our competition is our mastery of the delicate balance between the art and science of marketing. The artists in us know that for marketing outreach to be truly successful, it is important for it to be aesthetically appealing to the target audience. At the same time we know that design without a calculated purpose can’t be effective. That’s why each project we take on involves careful strategic planning, well-organized content and messaging, and emphasis on the end-user experience. For us, it’s not about “Form VS. Function” but rather the balance of “Form AND Function.”

Target Audience Focused

We pride ourselves on focusing first on the target audience. We realize more than most agencies that at the heart of successful marketing is the motivation and persuasion of each audience. During our research and strategic development, we pay close attention to consumer wants, needs and perceptions. Understanding this is crucial for your marketing campaign, as it will ultimately lead to a brand that drives consumer behavior.

Right Sized

We’re not a mega-agency with more clients than bandwidth and attention to serve them, nor are we an upstart “virtual” agency that won’t be able to serve your range of needs. TSG combines the services and quality of work of a big agency, with the care and service that only a small agency like ours can provide.

Process-Driven

Our process is straightforward, but it’s built on time-tested marketing principles. If someone tells you they’re creating effective marketing any other way, they’re not doing it right. It starts with Discovery: Gaining a 360° understanding of the clients’ situation by asking tons of questions and doing lots of research. Once we have the insight we need, we formulate a strategy, and only then do we develop creative concepts that carry out that strategy.

Collaborative

At TSG, we’re not only collaborative internally, but we also love to work closely with our clients. While they typically have one dedicated project manager, they also have direct access to the other strategic and creative members of the team as their project or projects are developed. It’s how we ensure that their vision is properly carried out and that nothing is ever lost in translation.
