| Brand strategy for a wired world. The social media revolution is over. Now it's time for brands to move beyond simply being social and get back to the business of creating measurable brand equity online. Our Brand Passport™ and WebPOP™ processes give you more control over your brand globally to ensure that it remains relevant to your target, differentiating from your competitors and true to your offer. Our offices are in Malmö, Sweden and Boston. We also have 60 partner agencies around the world in an international advertising agency network called TAAN. Why are we telling you all this? Because our SEO guy promised us that you'd be interested. |
| Why we quit our day jobs. Great brands are not born of creative ad campaigns alone. It starts way before that with creative brand strategy. The Duffy Agency was founded in 2001 by ad agency creatives who realized that making great ads for weak brands was like applying lipstick on a pig. Not much fun. Just as effective advertising needs be innovative, insightful and focused, these creatives believed that brand strategy should be held to the same standards. And that wasn't happening very often. So they left their ad agencies to create a new type of branding agency where the creative department is the entire company and brands can be seen in public without their makeup. |

| Our other founder Kevin Duffy and Sean sound so alike that you can't tell them apart on the phone (you've been warned). Kevin also believes that brands should be more transparent, relevant and engaging. Like Sean, Kevin began his career as an advertising copywriter. Preferring to stay state-side, Kevin works with Rich in our Boston office. See his LinkedIn profile. |
