Project Manager

Hooker & Company

About Us:

We think all sandwiches should come with a pickle. We think more people should star gaze. And we think the best thing you could do for your company is to learn a little bit more about ours.

Separately, we're writers, graphic artists, strategists, web designers, "coders" and art directors. But take away our titles and what you really have is a tight team of creative problem solvers who know how to develop brands and produce unique traditional and digital marketing solutions that demand attention and drive sales. Not only that, we work in a way that's more personal, more organized and more profitable for clients.

What does that mean? It means the same people who answer your phone calls work on your projects. It means we quote you fairly, accurately and upfront so budgets and bills are always aligned. It means there are no CEOs and certainly no holding companies. What about the traffic department, production department and account services team? All tightly packaged into a team that knows no boundaries.

Bottom line, nobody delivers for clients as effectively, efficiently and affordably as us.

We think you'll agree.
