"Our mission at Holy Family is to provide loving, quality care to the elderly. You simply cannot fulfill that mission without very dedicated people. We hired Crest to create an "Employee Appreciation" program. One of the elements of the program was called "Random Acts of Kindness". Our Kindness program has influenced every part of our facility. Every Department Head speaks about kindness at every meeting and supervisors have become conscious of making sure our staff is recognized for the outstanding things they do. Increased staff commitment and decreased total turnover were the result of Crest's unique thinking, creativeness, and complete event/program implementations...to a degree beyond even our greatest expectations!"

We create your positioning and promotional campaigns. We then implement the effort utilizing the latest media methods ranging from your own app to intense social networking, as well as more conventional media methods.

Our writers, producers and editors are the hottest thing going and produce the elements that are all part of the new rules.

strategic planning
Our account service people know what our clients need because we get to know our clients. But it’s more than knowing our clients’ businesses. It’s also knowing their customers. And their competition. Objectives, strategies and tactics are all tied to a calendar and budget.

creative
Our goal is to develop concepts that move people. To do that, we bridge the gap between what the client has and what the audience needs. Each message and graphic design for each client is unique. That’s because every clients marketing challenge is unique. First we develop the market positioning – everything else works off of that architectural plan.

media direction
Our approach to media goes beyond the quick fix. We search hard for those buys that can both lower client costs and reach the right audience. And we know how to negotiate to trim costs even more. Alternatives, evaluation and cost effectiveness maximize every media dollar.

public relations
There’s nothing like getting free media coverage for our clients. It’s a service we take great pride in. Not that it’s easy. But with the rapport we’ve established with the media and the trust we’ve earned, they’re frequently convinced that our proposed angle or storyline on behalf of our clients is newsworthy.

account management
Young, energetic stars stay on top of your business along with our seasoned veterans who have proven marketing insights. Our team with exceptional talent and bright ideas are integrated to promise every client exceptional results, principles, timeliness, efficiency, integrity, dedication and candor.
