Happy birthday, Fierce.

by | Oct 31, 2016 | Fierce Strategy + Creative, From the CEO

*A very special thank you to Jeremy Tufts with Southern Cross Pictures for the photo. A fond memory of a very Fierce evening in Napa.

Thankful for two Fierce years. 

As Fierce Strategy + Creative pauses to celebrate its second year and begin its third, we are so grateful for everyone who makes Fierce fierce. Today we want to take a moment and say thank you to some of the people who make us special—and the clients who we’re privileged to serve. Cheers to 2—and here’s to many, many more.

Thank you Colby, Karen, Andy, Jeremy, Misty, Danielle, Ryan, and Tim. Thank you for your fierce passion, your fierce work ethic, your fierce kindness, and your fierce integrity. And thank you to each person within the Fierce Collective all around the world who impacts our work and makes us better every day. You rock.

Thanks to the Fierce people, here’s how some of our clients describe working with Fierce. We are grateful for each client who trusts the Fierce people with their brand every day. 

“My experience with Beckie and the team at Fierce has been one word: Amazing. She and her team have been assets to the PR team at Langston University. They have inspired us with innovation, encouraged us by providing quality work and created successes for our team by employing best practices in today’s higher education realm. I’ve had the privilege and honor of working with Beckie for years and must say that her professionalism, timeliness and strategic thinking have always been consistent and most of all fierce!
—Mautra Jones, Vice President, Institutional Advancement and External Affairs, Langston University

 “Our company executed an aggressive succession plan in a short period of time and, as result, needed a new brand, vision and mission to better meet the needs of our organization. With the support of Fierce, they helped our company realize who we are, where we want to go, and how we are going to get there. The entire team at Fierce out-performed and over-delivered all expectations my team had for them. Based on our experience, Fierce will be an integral part of our strategic vision and planning as an organization moving forward. I look forward to a great partnership moving forward.”
—Tee Nunnelee, President, Coastal Beverage Company, Inc. 

“I wanted to personally thank you for the excellent job that you did on Friday. I could not have given a better presentation with regard to reiterating to our members what we stand for. Unveiling the brand was icing on the cake.  I have heard very positive feedback. There were a few times I got a little swelled up with pride. You were the best facilitator in helping us accomplish a very important goal. Thank you. We look forward to our continued relationship with you and FIERCE.”
—Toni Cockeram, GIAR
 

We were fortunate enough to have a colleague recommend Fierce to us in June 2015. Our first strategy session was an amazing day. Beckie systematically, yet artfully, pulled together our ideas and thoughts, and creatively molded them into the PaceMate™ brand. Beckie’s drive to truly understand and identify with our company’s mission and vision has made her a real part of our team from the very beginning. She has been an advocate in the truest since. Beckie and the Fierce team have sculpted a brand that we are proud to call our own.
—Jason Hale, PaceMate.™

“Beckie came to us to create a message to the world that would be honest, succinct and representative of who we are. She viewed us from afar, came on sight and then presented us with a campaign that was so on target that we were amazed. Our only question was, “How could she see so clearly who we are, when we couldn’t?” The answer is clear. She has an open mind, a focused purpose, a brilliant team, she’s a wonderful listener…and she always has a bit of pixie dust.”
—Paul Harrel, VCS
