A funny or cute ad on its own is not an ad strategy. Effective advertising is the result of an integrated strategic communications plan based on quantitative and qualitative research that is on message, creative, and targeted.

At MKMV, we pride ourselves on delivering visually compelling creative that cuts through the clutter in today’s busy media environment. We believe that when advertising focuses on the emotional core of a message, it works.

Creative That Wins Elections

In today's fast-paced world of politics, winning an election often comes down to a campaign's ability to capture the attention of voters through compelling messaging and captivating visuals.

That's where our team of experienced creative professionals comes in. With a deep understanding of political messaging and an eye for design, we work closely with campaigns to develop and execute winning creative strategies.

From creating attention-grabbing ads to crafting memorable logos and branding, our services are designed to help political campaigns stand out from the crowd. We work tirelessly to ensure that every piece of creative we produce is tailored to the unique needs and goals of our clients.

Production

We have in-house editing facilities and a production team with years of experience working on corporate, nonprofit, and political advertising campaigns.

Scenario Planning and Execution

Being prepared for any situation is indispensable when handling a potential crisis. We work with our clients to identify problems before they arise so that you are ready to respond to whatever comes your way. We work with you to game-plan scenarios you may face and identify a plan of attack to address each situation, including establishing protocols, identifying spokespeople, and preparing messaging.

Rapid Response

Responding in real-time is important when faced with a crisis. Our team offers immediate media monitoring, including social media, and works with an organization’s existing internal resources and external collaborators or creates a separate “war room” to quickly create the most effective messaging and provide strategic guidance.

Reputation and Brand Management

We will develop a strategy with you in order to maintain and elevate the integrity of your brand in the wake of a crisis. Protecting your reputation means more than just responding — it means being fully prepared to respond with a strong message.

Public and Media Relations

It’s a challenge to break through the din of today’s 24-hour news cycle. That’s why our experience with effective message development and knowledge of national and regional media across all platforms is critical to our clients. We know how to deliver the right messages to the right audiences — with the right results.

Crisis Communications

The ability to respond swiftly and effectively to a potentially negative situation has never been more important. With decades of crisis management experience from Washington to Wall Street, we help our clients develop and execute strategies that are effective and lasting. By working with a company’s existing corporate communications resources or creating a separate “war room,” we quickly help create the most effective messaging, lead media training, manage briefings to key stakeholders, deliver talking points, and provide overall strategic guidance.

Message Development

We know that a strong message is the core of any successful campaign. And it does not exist in a vacuum - it is directly tied to your competitors’ messages, breaking news, and your target audience. Using research, creativity, and experience, we will work with you to develop the message you need to win.

Branding

Establishing and building a stand-out brand is critical to competing in a crowded marketplace and surviving media scrutiny. Knowing how you are different and what you have to offer policy makers, the press, and your target audience is essential to building a campaign. Our strategists will help you define who you are, show how you fit into the competitive landscape, and build a memorable brand.
