Stir Advertising And Integrated Messaging

Since 2000, STIR Advertising and Integrated Messaging has worked on brand and campaign problems for clients across categories not always associated with one another: a credit union in the middle of a name change (Verve), a cheesemaker looking to make the most of a world championship (Henning Cheese), a trade association needing qualified leads (Steamfitters), a professional basketball team (Milwaukee Bucks), and a farm bureau insurance provider in Idaho. The Milwaukee shop frames its work around consulting and planning rather than one-off projects, guiding clients through what it calls the marketing landscape.

Work moves through three stages the agency names directly: Discovery, Strategic Development, and Tactical Planning. From there, services split across media relations, event marketing, media training, and crisis management on one side, and video and TV production, logo and brand identity, art direction, and design on the other. Digital work covers SEM and paid search, programmatic display and retargeting, web design and development, UX, SEO, and web content, plus paid social advertising alongside social media strategy and execution.

The client roster points to what that range produces in practice. Henning Cheese needed a rebrand that could carry a World Champion Cheese story; Verve needed a brand turnaround the agency describes as yielding instant success; Steamfitters needed a pipeline of leads rather than general awareness; the Bucks campaign carried the line "Own the Future," and the Idaho Farm Bureau Insurance work ran under "Locals Know." Each points to a different discipline pulled from the same list of services, applied to the specific problem in front of it.
