No 15-person meetings.
No foosball table.
No baskets of muffins.
No junior people being trained at your expense.
Just solutions.
If you need all the big-agency trappings to feel good about your choice of agency, we’re not for you.
But we’re guessing that you’re not interested in being bogged down with process and layers and having endless meetings to figure out when the next meeting should be.
We keep it simple and focused. You’ll work directly with people who have decades of experience in getting to the essence of a solution. Good listening meets good thinking meets good work.
We’ve done the big agency thing.
So you don’t have to.
Simpler&Simpler has been offering clients a streamlined approach to problem-solving since 2007. Before that, John and Teresa helped create and build San Diego’s largest agency, VitroRobertson. John was co-creative director and head of strategy, and Teresa ran the client services department in addition to working directly with clients.
When John and Teresa left to start Simpler&Simpler, the VitroRobertson agency – which had become the largest agency in San Diego’s history – was renamed The Vitro Agency, and has since become folded into Crispin Porter Bogusky.
While at VitroRobertson, John and Teresa worked on national and international brands and John personally wrote for Taylor Guitars, Asics Athletic Shoes, Yamaha Watercraft, Cobra Golf, Odyssey Golf, Red Bull Energy Drink, and Newcastle Brown Ale, among many others. Their campaigns have won hundreds of awards for creativity and advertising effectiveness.
One thing you can say about us:
We get involved.
There’s a reason you’re seeing so much work on this site, and not just one or two examples per client. You’re seeing a lot because we’re doing a lot for our clients. We go deep.
When you hire Simpler&Simpler, you’ll work with the principals themselves. We’ll get as involved in your business as you’ll let us. We hope you like us, because you’ll be seeing us a lot.
John Robertson is Creative Director and Copywriter and will work with you directly on strategy; Teresa Cunningham will be your Account Service person and will also be heavily involved with strategy and planning.
You’ll see us and work with us. We don’t have a new business team that will hand you off to junior people the minute you hire us.
Our flat, focused structure enables you to have access to highly experienced, very senior talent at a fraction of the cost of a bigger agency. We pride ourselves on our responsiveness and our detail-focused approach, as well as our ability to listen to clients and work collaboratively.
