Advertising Agency Eindhoven

Clients who come and go. Products that barely meet expectations. A brand promise that never gets delivered. Average is everywhere. And that's deadly for business success. Market leaders are never average. We go for brands that resonate, even after they're no longer visible or audible. You feel them, because their message settles smoothly into your brain.

Advertising Agency Stuurmen

Stuurmen is an advertising agency through and through, based in the heart of Eindhoven. Stuurmen works exclusively with companies determined to become or stay the leader in their industry. Companies that dare to go against the grain, that understand the bar can always go higher, and that are willing to do what it takes to bring their business to the next level.

Want to launch a new brand, refresh an existing one, adopt a new visual identity or build a new website? That goes further than design and development alone, because success starts with the right strategy. Branding and business always go hand in hand. With this integrated approach we transform your company into a premium brand people fall for.

Average doesn't stand a chance with us. We set high standards for ourselves and for our clients. We're driven by the need to get the most out of every situation. With top-notch branding we live up to our motto: kill off the average™!

Branding

What is branding? Branding gives brands substance, relevance and weight. Your direction as an organisation can shift slowly, and if you're not paying attention, the gap between identity and image keeps growing. Sometimes it's a matter of a refresh, and sometimes a brand needs to be completely rediscovered and repositioned in the market. As an advertising agency, we're glad to help you figure out what you need.

The foundation is the intangible, but absolute DNA of the company. The thing you talk about together, both nodding and saying: 'yes, this is really who we are'.

We organise different workshops to make this abstract asset tangible. We translate input into brand strategy, and brand strategy into brand identity. Besides the basic elements like logo, typography and colour, we also take care of photography, tone of voice and the channels worth using. Here too, 'kill off the average™' is always the starting point. Average is deadly dull.

With 40+ awards we can safely say we know better than anyone what makes a strong website or webshop. But hold on, what we don't want is to shoot in every direction, or build a product that just looks polished but doesn't convert. We want to actually use the website as a tool to reach organisational goals, so first we take a step back.

Web design

Based on the insights from the workshops and our own expertise, we get to work on the web design. A strong brand needs to translate seamlessly into digital, and we're happy to show you how we see that happening.

How do we get the vision across? How do we get people to convert? How do we achieve 'kill off the average™' without sacrificing usability? Plenty to sink our teeth into. We push this far because we like to show what's possible.

We create a consistent design that works well on all relevant devices and screen resolutions.

We eventually translate the visual design into a clickable prototype, so everyone knows exactly what's going to be built.

We always design with an eventual 'design system' in mind. A design system is one central place where (reusable) design components come together. These components are designed and configured with future development in mind, so the website can be extended more easily.

Web development

The web development phase is about the technical build and bringing the web design further to life. We do this using the latest techniques and the highest quality standards. We don't work with standard website themes. We believe a website should be built around the brand, not the other way around. The website runs on a (headless) CMS and is built entirely to measure.

We're obsessed with speed, and when it comes to that, we set the bar very high.

We also make sure everything runs optimally on mobile, desktop and tablet. We set things up so we can take immediate steps on search engine optimisation. And of course we secure the website or webshop with an SSL certificate.

We're live, great! But even after launch, we keep improving and developing both the website and the brand. Through 'Brand Support' we're always there for you as your advertising agency. Whether it's strategy, design, development or content creation.
