We believe in constraints. We work on a small number of projects, typically between eight to 12 engagements. This self-imposed constraint forces us to be selective.
We believe in long-term partnerships. With an intimate knowledge of our partners’ companies.
We believe in specialization. We focus on the hospitality industry, with a specialization in social marketing.
Backed by more than a decade of advertising experience and research on consumer behavior.

Consultation
Eric works with clients to increase conversions, repeat visits, and enjoyment through the use of behavioral science — the study of human behavior.
Effective use of behavioral science principles can improve all aspects of marketing. From writing headlines and copy that people remember; using social norms to nudge consumers; or the anchoring effect on menus to increase the average ticket size.
“In the same way that you wouldn’t trust a doctor with no knowledge of physiology or an engineer ignorant of physics, my experience over the last dozen or so years suggests that it’s foolhardy to work with an advertiser who knows nothing of behavioral science.”
— Richard Shotton, author of The Choice Factory
