The Stern Agency is a full-service agency offering research and account planning, media planning and buying and creative development of television, radio, print, direct mail, websites, interactive, outdoor, transit and whatever else it ta kes.
For NIST MEP that meant creating a two-hour multi-media presentation to support a speech by Kevin Carr, Director of MEP, to motivate 1000 Field Agents (May 2000). For Loudoun Healthcare, we produced a documentary on the building of a new hospita l to help the community better understand how well the hospital will serve them (1997). For Sea Colony of Bethany Beach, Delaware we did a bit of interior decorating to make a new state of the art fitness center into a working sales tool (1996). And for Goodwill I ndustries, we planned and worked an event on a hot July day at RFK stadium as our client sold merchandise to an audience of 60,000 teenagers at the HFStival (1997 and 1999). While advertising is at the core of what we do, we dont limit our thinking to that one discipline.
We have implemented work on a local, regional, national and international basis. Clients such as Sunnys Great Outdoors and Lansdowne Resort have been locally based and draw on the local marketplace. Clients such as United Express are more regional. For them we market in Washington and outer markets up and down the East Coast. Our work with NIST MEP is targeted to a national manufacturing audience and for Packexpo.com we target the national packaging industry. Our work for SIG Combibloc h as taken us into South America and
Mexico.
