Company
Adbongo, Inc. is where to go to make ideas happen. We help inventors move products from their imaginations to the markets, and we help innovators grow their established businesses.We are a consulting firm offering a wide range of services to small businesses, from business plan writing to social media training to traditional and cutting edge advertising mediums.
What is important to us?
High tier marketing initiatives and well-planned business strategy are generally only available to the big guys with the fat wallets. The smaller businesses and start-ups often only hire help for piecemeal projects: a logo here, a website there, a print ad down the road, all divorced from the kind of cohesive strategy that can boost chances for success. Adbongo aims to change this reality. We want our inventors and innovators to have access to the kind of long-term strategy that has traditionally been the provenance of large corporations.
Broad Capabilities.
Though we are a small team, we are trained in a wide variety of skills and disciplines. Our experience includes: traditional marketing and advertising, guerilla marketing, online marketing and social media, graphic design, screenwriting, copy writing, visual art, business building, business & marketing plan writing, event planning and film production. A small crew with diverse skills keeps prices affordable and accessible for entrepreneurs and small businesses.
Niche.
We serve small- to medium-sized businesses with important products, services and ideas to offer. Fans of creativity, we’ve now launched a range of services tailored exclusively for inventors.
While other marketing consultants may offer some help to small businesses, they generally are not able to offer the broad range of skills or high-tier strategy that we can.
Experience with Outsourcing.
We utilize talented contractors when we are either over-stretched or do not have the specific technical or artistic skill sets a client needs to complete the job. Periodic usage of contractors has allowed us to stay extremely flexible, has boosted our abilities to perform well on a wide range of assignments and has kept our overhead low (since we don’t have twenty full-time people on staff just to have their skill sets ready when the relevant project comes along).
Core Values
Integrity. Integrity, honor and honesty are values founder, John Bush, holds dear. He expects anyone who works with Adbongo, including contractors, to exhibit these values when representing the company.
Our Response to Challenges Presented by the Current Economic Climate
In the past, advertising and marketing firms have sought to serve established, big money businesses. These businesses are failing or are reducing advertising and research budgets. Reduced research budgets for these established businesses mean we’re entering an innovation deficit, leaving the door wide open for inventors and creators to develop start-ups.
To take advantage of this reality, we have started focusing more heavily on attracting start-ups, developing such services as a business start-up consulting package and a full development package. In fact, we once referred to our company as an advertising agency, but now, we prefer to call Adbongo a business development firm in order to emphasize our expanded capabilities.
Certifications.
Adbongo is certified as a veteran-owned, minority-owned, HUB (Historically Underutilized Business) and DBE (Disadvanted Business Enterprise) company. All of these certifications give Adbongo a strong advantage over non-certified competitors when potential clients are evaluating proposals for advertising and marketing work. These certifications helped Adbongo win a contract from the City of Austin, and they will give us an edge if we decide to pursue high dollar government or corporate contracts in the future.
