Compass Marketing & Advertising hits the ground running

TOPEKA (KSNT) - Compass Marketing & Advertising Partners has hit Topeka by storm. The marketing & advertising firm offers a new approach in the way advertising is made available to Topekans.

"Tim and I started this with the idea that we could help businesses with their marketing and serve as their marketing team." Tara Dimick, Compass Partner, Media Specialist.

"I'm pretty good at being a bridge. If it's needing to sit with a client and roll through a big strategy, than cool let's do this, or of it's actual implementation and building design, I can help between Tim and Tara are doing and translating that into what gets produced." Jennifer Goetz, Compass Creative Strategy Director.

"In one of my first meetings we were representing Compass but also our client. I love how our clients are thinking, that this is our marketing team, they just don't have an office here and that's how we feel too. We want them to feel that we are connected to them." Shelby Revelle, Compass Marketing Strategist.

"We take our clients from design through delivery. There wasn't a company that was doing the whole thing. There are companies that do pieces of it very well, but we wanted to be able to deliver the whole product." Tim Kolling, Compass Partner, Media Specialist.

Compass Marketing & Advertising Partners is committed to helping businesses on their marketing journey from developing their core values, strategic plan and communication tactics, to designing content and visuals that tell their story, to delivering their message through traditional media and online tactics, as well as offering unique and targeted communications.
