WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH 1200 SQUARE FEET?
Just about anything
Assembled by long-time creative team, Tom & Cara Ostrom, Ostrom Creative is a condensed and powerful full-service marketing agency. Our world headquarters is located in beautiful Excelsior, Minnesota–it measures exactly 20 feet by 60 feet. We decided against the oxygen bar and arcade at the last minute, but did squeeze in a spot for a circa 1900 Chandler & Price letterpress. Ostrom Creative is a place to think, plan, strategize, argue, drink, concept, art direct, write, design and manage. All the critical marketing verbs are covered and we perform each of them with considerable aplomb.
We’ve been a part of big agencies, medium-sized agencies and we’ve been independent freelancers; and guess what? Our roles, our responsibilities and the superb quality of the work we’ve produced has always been the same. The only difference is the size of the conference room.
Free thinking for hire
BRAND & IDENTITY DEVELOPMENT – MARKETING STRATEGY – PRINT & DIGITAL ADVERTISING – PRINT COLLATERAL – WEB & DIGITAL MARKETING – PUBLIC RELATIONS – SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGEMENT & CURATION – LETTERPRESS
We deliver all the great thinking and creativity you demand… without the middle managers, the hipster beards and the exorbitant bills.
Everything you want from an agency.
(Oh and we’re not opposed to foosball or ping pong, we just don’t have the space)
OUR WORK
A few of our favorite things
DEPTH & BREADTH
Brands we know
Our years on the job have provided us with a constantly changing landscape of client experiences. There are very few industries we haven’t touched. Here are just a few of the brands we’ve had the pleasure of working with.
FABCON
“Low fuss, high value”... those are our client's words not ours. In a relationship that has now spanned more than 15 years, we’ve helped Fabcon with everything from truck graphics to brand development.
NILFISK ADVANCE
Our work with the world leader in commercial floor care machines centered primarily on producing trade advertising and collateral material. We did pen an occasional press release, as well.
FIRESIDE HEARTH & HOME
We were part of the team that helped bring Fireside Hearth & Home into the world of retail. We contributed to its brand identity, early merchandising and print collateral.
CUMMINS
We helped Cummins launch their portable and residential standby power products with print, radio and a series of informational videos.
LENSCRAFTERS
Ever get a direct mail piece from Lenscrafters? If you received it anytime in the years 2010 to 2014 there’s the strong chance we had a hand in its strategy and design.
TORO
Working with the snow blowers product division we have helped create point-of-purchase materials for the hardware channel and name new product releases.
GENERAL MILLS
We’ve written scores of packaging panels and free-standing-inserts for a wide range of “Big G” brands including Old El Paso, Cascadian Farms and Pillsbury.
MIRACLE-EAR
Miracle-Ear’s national scope gave us the opportunity to develop a multi-million dollar consumer campaign encompassing print, radio and an award winning television spot.
FEDERAL CARTRIDGE
Years of working with Federal’s independent dealer network has given a strong grounding in merchandising, dealer programs and consumer literature.
MEET THE PLAYERS
By design, we all fit in a single life raft.
