What It Means To Be Your Creative Marketing Partner

At Fuzzy Duck, our current tagline is “Your Creative Marketing Partner” – you might have seen it on our website, alongside our logo, or in front of our office on our big swinging sign! We’re not in the business of simply rendering services and zipping out of your hair. What we mean is, we strive to be your true creative marketing partner – not your creative marketing summer fling. We want to stick with you through times good and difficult. That word – partner – really means something to us. It’s not a buzzword. It’s a philosophy that guides every conversation we have – internally and externally.
Here’s what partnership means to us.
Listening First
Around here, we have an internal mantra: “Listen. Think. Create. Repeat.” This is something that has been with us for a long time! In fact, it used to be our tagline. We’ve come to realize it’s more of an internal guiding process that shapes how we accomplish our client goals. We approach every relationship with a listening ear first. We want to know YOUR goals, what success looks like to YOU. What you’re doing well, and what you may be struggling with to create an understanding of the big picture.
Once we understand that, it’s time for us to put our Duck minds together. Often as a team, we take what we know about you and what we know about this business and come up with the right strategy for you at this moment. Then, we set to work creating and implementing solutions fit right to you.
We keep listening. To you. To your audience. Our team interprets real data, feedback, and outcomes to evaluate our next marketing move to continue to evolve and strengthen your small business marketing.
Built Around You
True partnership requires an ability to meet people where they’re at. We know that each small business faces its own set of circumstances. To us, being able to effectively serve as a long-term resource to our clients means providing a variety of ways for them to engage with us. From pre-purchased hourly blocks to long-term retainers, we shape our support around what fits most clients after 30 years in this business. We’re investing in you and your unique needs, goals, and budget.
Why Partnership Is Different
Developing a relationship with a partner is not like hiring a one-off vendor. We’re not here simply for a one-time fix. We’re going to be here day after day, year after year helping you think smarter. We’re here to ask the tough questions and solve real problems. Not to simply check a box, collect a paycheck, and hit the road. We stay curious and collaborative. Sometimes, we may even gently challenge your thinking – because we care about results for you. Fuzzy Duck wants to help your small business win.
A Culture of Working Together
For more than 30 years, Fuzzy Duck has been proud to help small businesses succeed. We’re proud to say we’ve had many long standing partnerships – businesses and colleagues who have worked with us across rebrands, locations, decades, and even generations. Achieving great outcomes doesn’t have to feel like pulling teeth. It should feel like working with people who get it, who get you, and who genuinely want to help your business thrive.
When you have a marketing partner in sync with your business, great things will happen.
