How We Help Clients
Marketing Communications Services

DeanHouston delivers purpose-driven marketing communications solutions. Whether to sell products or services, enhance your image, or help to define new market strategies, our time-tested approach begins with an analysis of your marketing challenges, current processes and resources. We then develop a plan designed to get results.

We provide a diverse line of traditional and new media integrated marketing, advertising, graphic design and public relations services. We can tailor our efforts to assist you with individual projects, elements of an existing program, or we can create a fully-integrated approach from the ground up.

The following diagram illustrates the DeanHouston integrated marketing communications approach:

Marketing Communications Analysis
Our first step with every client is to gain an understanding of their existing marketing communications structure, processes and challenges. We conduct a thorough marketing communications analysis of your company, then develop a comprehensive communications strategy. This process provides the roadmap for developing and implementing an effective strategy:

  • Understand your markets, position, influences and challenges
  • Assess your business needs and determine your objectives, competitive pressures and barriers to success
  • Evaluate processes and available resources
  • Recommend appropriate tactics
  • Create a timeline and budgets
  • Establish short-term and long-term goals tied to your business objectives and aligned with your corporate values.

DeanHouston applies a comprehensive strategic planning process that provides for the collaborative platform, direction, and development of the tactical components required to build an effective communications program and, ultimately, a strong brand.

One-to-One Marketing Tools
The DeanHouston Brochure Builder is a template-based, password protected design aid that gives companies the speed, flexibility and cost-efficient method of customizing brochures for niche markets. It is designed principally for executives whose frenetic travel schedule precludes them from offering timely input into a brochure project. It also results in printing efficiencies by producing only enough brochures to satisfy the requirements of a specific sales opportunity.

Direct Marketing/Direct Mail
DeanHouston can develop well-conceived, cost-effective direct marketing tools to help you reach key targets with compelling visual clarity and on-target messages.
