Brett talks “Give a Brand!” with Daily Vista

Brett Traylor sat down with editor Josh Stone to discuss “Give a Brand!”, highlights from 2012, and Thinkso’s diverse portfolio and goals for growth. We’ve pulled a few interview excerpts for our clients and friends:

On the origins of “Give a Brand!”:
“We grew ‘Give a Brand!’ out of our dedication to doing good and giving back, and as a way to make better use of dollars that would otherwise go toward self-promotion, one-off charity efforts, or client gifts. We turned it into a company-wide, single-day event and pulled in clients and vendors to collaborate.”

On 2012 highlights:
“I would flag the Stanford DoResearch website… It was a huge, comprehensive undertaking, and we did all aspects of naming, design and content strategy. There’s really nothing else out there like it.”

On Thinkso’s diverse portfolio:
“It can be easy to pound away at an industry where work is abundant and we have a lot of experience. But we really make an effort to keep our client mix and portfolio as diverse as we can. “Give a Brand!” helps us do that by pushing the agency into new areas. Expanding our base of clients and industries is always something that we’re consciously trying to do.”
