Our Approach

At LKH&S, we take a unique approach to our business - and yours. We believe that you need to fully define the goals of your advertising before you can create an effective and cost-effective strategy. That's why we start by defining your goals, and then we drill down as far as we can to get to know your business, its history, successes, failures, and more to help you achieve them. We ask lots of questions. Lots of them. Because that's the only way to find the right answers.

Setting aside agency-speak, we take a research-driven approach to advertising. We're research junkies. We want to know everything about your business, your market, and, especially, your consumers. It may seem obvious, but: Knowing is better than guessing (and a lot cheaper and more effective). By the time we're done, we're going to learn a lot about your customers: Who they are, where they are, how to speak to them, when to reach out to them, what their needs are, and how we can fulfill them. If it sounds like we're building a relationship, we are.

We hate those guys. And, we're going to do everything we can to make them regret that they didn't hire us first. So, as part of our research, we take a long, hard look at the competitive landscape to figure out what your competitors are saying, their strengths, weaknesses, and the advantages or disadvantages of their products and services. The goal is to come up with a plan that allows us to outflank them, without necessarily outspending them.

There is no panacea, no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to a marketing challenge. But, together, we'll find the right answers. So, what's right for you? Broadcast? Print? Direct marketing? Social media? Digital advertising? A killer website? Lead generation? Direct sales? Brand building? All of the above? None of the above? Fortunately, LKH&S has experience doing all of these things.

Our Story

We started in the back of a Chicago type house. Remember those? It was 1992. There were no iPhones, no iPads, no Google, no Twitter. There was, however, LKH&S. Founded by four advertising veterans who believed, as most entrepreneurs do, that there had to be a better way. A better way to create advertising. A better way to serve clients. A better way to do business. Over two decades later, that better way has kept us in business. And, over the years, we've worked on some of America's best brands, working with - and employing - some great people.

Our vision and mission haven't changed. We believe that success in today's marketplace depends on connecting clients with consumers, and that everything we do, every program we develop, and every ad we create must be designed to establish a connection between our clients and consumers that is actionable, meaningful and profound. TO HELP OUR CLIENTS REALIZE THEIR GOALS. (Yep, it's that simple.)
