Today more than ever, advertising has to be on target, on message, on strategy, and better than everyone else's. Investing in marketing and advertising is critical for a company's success. Some businesses are cutting budgets. Everyone wants more, for less. At the end of the day, someone has to do the heavy lifting. The real creative work. Design doesn't come out of the end of an Illustrator brush. A Flash effect isn't a concept. Style without substance, glitter without game, just isn't going to cut it in this economy. The inclination is to take shortcuts. Do it cheaper, get a freebee, do it yourself. But real original design and creative advertising messages still "cut through the clutter". Just like 10 years ago, just like 30 years ago. The only difference is, in this economy, there's is some heavy lifting required. RRC&D is an old-school studio with 21st century tools and techniques. We're ready to do heavy lifting now. It's what we've always done.
