FIRM CAPABILITIESBRANDING & BRAND IDENTITY

At ThinkZILLA, we speak the zen of branding. We know that a brand is a distilla-tion. It is a culmination of its owner’s style, products, marketplaces, and vision. A brand’s identity speaks to the relationship a brand has with its customers, how it makes them feel and how it makes them better. It rolls emotion together with col-or, graphics and design to create something that stirs passions, inspires engage-ment and awakens the spirit.

You know who you are. Make sure everyone else does, too.

FIRM ACCOLADES& TESTIMONIALS

We love happy clients! Here at ThinkZILLA, we have lots of them and people are starting to take notice. That’s why we were named Houston’s Best PR Firm at the 2014 GO DJ Hip Hop & Entertainment Awards. Take a look at what our clients have to say about ThinkZILLA!

When your BRAND is your business, there is not room for a firm to play games with results. I’ve found working with ThinkZILLA to be a unique experi-ence, measureable and results-driven. There are many in the industry who say they can deliver but few to take you to the next level. I wouldn’t trust anyone else. ThinkZILLA just ROCKS the GOLD standard!

I am continuously impressed by ThinkZILLA’s ability to provide consis-tent and valuable project work. I’ve had several opportunities to do major inter-views from national and popular local media. I highly appreciate their work!

FIRM RESULTS

We make it easy to quantify the return on your PR, branding, and event investments.

ThinkZILLA uses an advertising cost equivalent (ACE) framework to obtain and re-port return on investment (ROI) figures for our campaigns and events. This frame-work allows our clients and event sponsors to quantitatively and qualitatively un-derstand the strength and reach of the dollars they spend with us.

ACE allows us to research and report the following: » If a PR budget is delivering value for money and is strong enough to retain notice » If a PR campaign or event is more or less successful than prior efforts, or similar efforts if the campaign or event is new

Showing measureable ROI isn’t rocket science. It’s ThinkZILLA.
