Archer & Hound Advertising

A creative agency in Fresno, California, Archer & Hound Advertising has worked with businesses on their marketing since 2006. It describes itself as woman-owned and full-service, and says that although it is a small firm, its culture and team are what drive the results.

Brand work for local and regional clients

The agency's portfolio shows a spread of sectors. Examples it highlights include a Christian school group in the education category, a cycling tourism organization on the Central Coast, a county transit service in Kern County, and a campaign called What Moves You for a children's and families nonprofit in Fresno County. The firm says the variety of its clients has kept the work interesting, and it prefers to let finished projects speak for themselves.

Seven areas of work

Its services are arranged around brand development and multichannel marketing. Brand development covers the strategy and positioning that help an organization stand apart. Multichannel marketing joins messages to audiences across several channels so that the right message reaches the right people at the right time.

Content creation produces stories, insights and creative assets meant to build trust and prompt action. Studio production handles video, photography and wider creative production. Web design and development blends strategy, design and performance to keep visitors engaged.

Two specialist teams

Beyond the main agency, two dedicated teams cover studio production and branded merchandise. Stellar Studios makes visual content, working either inside agency-led campaigns or directly with organizations. A&H Merch supplies custom-branded products for employee appreciation, client gifts, event giveaways and promotional campaigns, chosen to keep a brand in front of people.

Working style

The agency says it becomes an extension of a client's own team and aims for partnerships that last through both difficult stretches and successes. It also says it prefers doing the work to talking about buzzwords such as paradigm shifts, and it describes its approach as working hard, working smart and putting heart into each project.
