As a leading marketing agency in the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota, Robert Sharp & Associates has long held the belief that the success of our business cannot solely be measured by the money we make, and the large list of clients we serve, but rather by the quality of service and thought that our team provides those we work with every single day. None of this would be possible if it weren’t for the unique office culture that reverberates through all reaches of our business. As we’re looking to grow our team and invest in talented individuals looking to pursue marketing careers, we’d like to take a look at this culture and the purpose it serves in empowering our team.

Can you remember the time you landed your first whale? The client you never thought you’d get because your team was seemingly too small among big fish or the RFP you went for with hesitation because geographic isolation seemingly separates businesses in small towns from business in large cities? How did you feel? Why did you stand out as the right team to fit the bill of a new project?

As a small, locally-owned business ourselves, Robert Sharp & Associates understands the immense time that goes into planning and hosting a successful event. We work with clients all throughout the year to help plan events such as the Central States Fair, Heart Ball, The South Dakota State Fair, and most recently added to our roster Patriot Day.

At RSA, we want each and every one of our clients to be successful, and we go above and beyond to do everything in our power to make sure that happens. So, when RSA was approached by the City of Box Elder to sponsor their upcoming Patriot Day celebration, our CEO Robert Sharp had an idea. Instead of becoming a paid sponsor of their event, RSA decided that we would help them market Patriot Day to the public. Our agency has a long-term relationship with the City of Box Elder and has worked with them on many projects. To us, this was a way to not only help support a wonderful event, but also build an even stronger relationship with our client.

After 30 years in the marketing game, the folks here at Robert Sharp & Associates (RSA) have worked tirelessly to uphold and maintain the very principles we were founded on in 1989 to ensure our clients not only achieve their varied marketing objectives, but have room to grow beyond those objectives across often-oversaturated marketplaces. While decades of experience have helped us get a footing for the flair and tenacity needed to overcome the many challenges we and our clients face on a day-to-day basis, it’s safe to say we’ve learned a thing or two about the value of going above and beyond the call of duty to support our clients and see to it that they succeed.

Clicks. Impressions. Click-through-rate. Conversions. Chances are you’ve heard these terms thrown around under the umbrella of “digital marketing.”  To those in the industry, these terms are part of our everyday vocabulary.  With the majority of people switching from browsing the internet on a desktop or laptop to a mobile device like a smartphone or tablet, digital marketing is quickly becoming the new normal….and there’s a reason why.  Digital marketing allows us to provide advertisements and content to high-interest users.  Not only can we use digital marketing to target a highly-defined demographic, we can do it at a relatively low price.
