Radio’s still relevant!

People still listen in the car. At work. During routines. And unlike social media, radio doesn’t disappear in half a second because someone got distracted by a video of a squirrel eating a stolen White Castle burger.

A good message repeated consistently still works. Always has!

Working in marketing long enough gives you some very strangely specific life skills.

Like being able to:
- summarize a complicated idea in one sentence or less
- spot terrible signage and remember details about it while driving 70 mph
- make a deadline work through sheer force of will
- translate vague feedback into something usable
- and explain “so, what exactly do you do?” at every family gathering

Honestly, half the job is creative problem solving. We’re pretty good at it.

Trade shows are basically organized overstimulation.

Everyone’s talking. Everything’s thinking. Half the room is giving out branded stress balls, with the other half giving away branded totes. There’s A LOT going on.

Good signage is a must. If people can understand who you are from 20 feet away, you’re already ahead.

Before the cookouts begin, we’re taking a moment to remember and honor those who made the holiday possible through their service and sacrifice.

Wishing everyone a safe Memorial Day!

Still one of our favorite recent projects: helping bring Brownsville South Padre Island International Airport’s “Nice to Meet You” campaign to life!

From TV spots and paid social ads to digital creative and on-location filming in Texas, this campaign gave us the chance to build something with a lot of personality behind it.

The goal was to create work that felt welcoming, recognizable, and genuinely human while helping BRO stand out in a crowded travel space and resonate with exactly the right audiences.

Nothing ages a brand faster than trying too hard to sound modern, aka jargon-y.

You know. “Cutting-edge solutions driving innovative synergy.”

Meanwhile, everyone reading it is quietly backing away. Sometimes, the fastest way to make a brand feel current is just sounding like a normal human being again.

If someone lands on your website and immediately has to ask, at any point in time,
“Wait… what do these people actually do?”

…you’ve already lost them.

People are moving fast online. Your website doesn’t need to say everything instantly, but it does need to say the important thing instantly.

Our Dovetail May Employee of the Month: Vinnie!

As our Director of Brand Strategy & Lead Generation, Vinnie spends a lot of time helping clients connect the dots between strategy and results. He’s sharp, thoughtful, incredibly good at SEO, and somehow always knows what Google is up to before the rest of us do. (It’s hard to keep up)

Hooray for Vinnie!

Honest question… are brands trying a little too hard to be funny right now in their content?

Humor can work REALLY well. When it fits, it makes a brand feel human and approachable. You think, “Wow! I wanna hang out with that guy.”

But when it doesn’t, it’s… awkward. So, so awkward.

Not every brand necessarily needs to be the funniest voice in the room (read the room a little).

Sometimes being clear, helpful, and just a little bit human is more than enough.
