Exit10

From a base in Baltimore's Camden Yards Warehouse, Exit10 handles advertising, design and public relations. The agency is a full-service firm that works across public relations, social media, activation, events, sponsorship marketing, search and inbound marketing, and creative production.

Simplicity as a working principle

Exit10 builds its work around simplicity, from the process it follows to the finished work it delivers. Its view is that simple ideas are the best ideas, even though they are often the hardest to come up with. The agency says that simple work is more powerful, more memorable, easier to understand and, more often than not, more fun.

Public relations, social media and advertising

The agency runs public relations, social media and advertising campaigns. Its work with the media, its channels and its advertising is designed to fit together, so that a campaign reaches its audience through several routes at once.

Activation, events and sponsorship marketing

Exit10 plans activation work, events and sponsorship marketing that bring a brand into contact with people in person. It treats these live and experiential programs as part of the same strategy that drives its advertising and public relations.

SEO and inbound marketing

The agency's search and inbound marketing work aims to improve how easily a business can be found and to produce content that draws inquiries. It presents this as the means by which a client's marketing reaches people who are already looking for what it offers.

Design, video, interactive and content

Alongside its campaigns the agency produces design, video and interactive work, along with copywriting and content development. Strategy sits at the start of the work, so the creative output is planned against the client's goals.

Experience across sectors

Clients have come from sports marketing, consumer products, transportation, technology, healthcare, real estate and retail, and the agency says it can find useful lessons in almost any sector. It argues that experience in a client's category matters, but that having no category experience can bring a fresh view to a challenge, so it is willing to discuss whether it would be a good fit.

Clients

Among the clients named is the Hampden Village Merchants Association, a neighborhood business group in Baltimore.
