DRIVE

Hello. We’re DRIVE — a strategic brand agency founded on the belief that an organization’s most powerful strategic asset is their brand. We also believe every great product or service should reach those who need it. That’s why for over 15 years we've been redefining what’s possible for clients like you. We’ll work hand-in-hand with you to provide the clarity, strategy, messaging and tools to get your product or service to the people who need it most.

We help organizations across a wide range of industries including higher education (having served various U of M schools, departments and programs), healthcare, professional services and nonprofits. We help clients leverage their brand to strengthen their organizations, increase awareness of services/programs/events, compel both internal and external audiences to action and ultimately drive growth. We have the expertise, experience and insight to reach your audiences in meaningful ways and share your message in a way that connects.

As a DRIVE client, you’ll have a lean, tailored team of award-winning industry experts working together to reach your goals. Working side by side with you every step of the way, we tackle your challenges and celebrate your wins. And finally, we do all that while taking a smart, efficient approach to our work…no excessive layers, people or processes that can bloat timelines or budgets.
