Celebrating 25 years in business, Smith Smith & Smith [S3] offers invaluable experience, creative innovation, enthusiasm for cycling and budget flexibility.
Our client list will show that some of the best companies in the world have entrusted us to maintain their brand. Each client has been completely satisfied with the ease and simplicity in which we provided our services, our professionalism and dedicated attention to each assignment. Some of these companies have come to us after periods of stale creative and marketing solutions while working with large agencies who may bill for phone calls and paperclips. Some have come to us after the frustration of working with the inexperience or capabilities of ‘garage’ designers or stagnant inhouse designers. S3 is the alternative – firmly placed in the middle. We are able to move quickly and surely in either direction to meet our clients individual needs.
S3 offers full and truly integrated services which include advertising, graphic design, corporate identity, web sites, point-of-purchase, apparel/merchandising, product packaging, exhibit booths, and virtually any other communications or brand marketing resource you may need.
What is ‘cyclism’? Cyclism is an enthusiasm and knowledge of cycling. S3’s first cycling client was Diamond Back [WSI] in 1990. Since then, we have worked with many cycling companies in various capacities. We are currently most involved with the success of the Magura brand in the USA. Back in 1993, I personally helped ‘break-in’ the mountain bike mecca of Whistler Mountain B.C., I frequently ride with magazine editors, product managers and key industry types. I’ve raced the California State DH series and ridden the trails of Gooseberry Mesa, Grand canyon, Tahoe, Moab, Downieville, Sun Valley and Sedona to list a few.
Why is this important? So you don’t have to worry about your agency calling you to ask you what SPD means or where the cranks are on a bike. Cycling + Enthusiasm = Cyclism; We have it.
At S3, we believe long-lasting relationships are built on more than just great advertising. They are built on clear communications, results that exceed expectations, and respect for your valuable time and budget. This is what our clients expect and that is what S3 is ready and capable to deliver. Pick us. Our experience, capabilities and enthusiasm for the category will reflect in the work we do for you and your consumers will undoubtedly feel that.
