Stern… Redhead… either way, it’s good stuff.

In 1991, Ed had an idea. For 13 years he had worked at various agencies in New York City, New Jersey, Baltimore, and Washington, DC. He gained experience in every position from Media Research Analyst to Creative Director. And as a freelance writer, he worked inside a lot of shops and saw the good as well as the bad. His idea was to try it a little differently. It was to create a place built on the foundation of respect, within the agency for each other and outside our walls, for our clients. It was something he didn’t see a lot of in all those other places.

Along the way we’ve gathered up people who aren’t only extremely talented in their respectful positions, they’re also good people. Individuals who have high standards for their work and for themselves in general. We’re convinced the two go hand in hand. It’s an approach to the business that allows us to get closer to our clients. The results can be seen in the work that gets done.

call someone, we’d like that.

The years at Stern and now Redhead can be summed up in a few basic principles. This business was created on the belief that every person has something to say and something to contribute. We are fiercely committed to our clients and, because of how we work and what we stand for, our employees have always been committed to our cause. For our clients that means they see and hear from the same people. We are resourceful, doing whatever it takes to get the job done and we are huge advocates of collaboration, both internally and with our clients. Finally, we work hard to use both sides of our brain. We push the creative, but we’ve always been obsessive about our approach to details, service and making sure everything is done the right way.

We like to think we blend knowledge and understanding of the very latest marketing tools with an old fashioned passion for customer service. The only time we’ll look at our watch in a meeting with you is to make sure we got there on time. Otherwise, our attention is fully on the subject at hand.

But you don’t get a real sense of what it’s like to work with someone until you work with someone. That’s why one of the best ways to understand what it’s like working with us is to speak with people who have. We'll be happy to forward you a list of present and past clients along with their phone numbers and email addresses. Drop Jane a note at jane@redheadcompanies.com and she'll set you up.

And then there’s the work. We’ve included an assortment of examples from some of the clients we’ve worked with over the years. These samples will give you a sense of our approach and style. Of course, behind every campaign is a strategic process that takes into account the audience, media, budgets, and many other variables. We’ll be happy to go over any and all of it in more detail when we get together.
