AfterMath

AfterMath We are insights-driven marketing agency focused on strategy, optimization & results-based solutions. We Tell Better Stories - Yep. It’s not magic. We talk. We.

Concrete results and long term loyalty. We just do more than promote brands – we create true experiences that build emotional bonds between consumers and brands. Rational benefits are great, but we move past them and find genuine truths about our clients’ brands. That’s how we get to actual reasons to believe, rather than simply reasons to buy. By forging emotional bonds with the customer through

insight, relevance and entertainment, we inspire transactions that become repeat business and brand advocacy. AfterMath in 6 Words (and then up to, like, 50-ish words after that.) COLLABORATION
Heard THAT before, right? Well, not from people who actually do it. Constantly. We verbalize what’s bugging us or holding us up (or even what’s going kinda awesome). Then we all jump in, help each other figure things out and get stuff done — as a team. Hence the URL. GUMPTION
Not gonna lie (see “Transparency”), we might not always know how to do something. But we definitely know how to start and how to make anything happen. So, yeah. Gumption. Are going. To figure. It out. And then we’re going to do it super well. Whatever it is. EXPERTISE
We have the very best, we’d-pick-them-again-over-anyone-else, sharpest, shrewdest, most talented people available in all of our positions. And that’s not enough. We are always learning and always pushing each other, ourselves and the work, because to make the best work, we have to actually be the best. ORIGINALITY
The quickest way to lose anyone’s attention is to show ‘em something they’ve seen before. That ain’t gonna cut it for us. From our work to WHO we are to HOW we work, we promise you’ve never met a team like us before, and you’ll always get surprisingly original work to boot. TRANSPARENCY
Honesty IS the best policy. We expect it. From ourselves, from each other and from our clients. We don’t pull punches and we don’t hold back compliments either. Lay it on the table. It’s the only way we know we’re actually moving in the right direction. RESULTS
Pretty obvious here. If we aren’t delivering and proving it and IMproving it, we aren’t doing our jobs.

It’s hard not to notice that graduations are in full effect.
They’re major milestones for sure, but they celebrate something bigger, too. Transformation.

Graduations are a powerful reminder that success is the result of vision and effort — and that’s a formula we apply to every campaign we build. Meaningful creative backed by shrewd strategy makes for tangible, transformative results. And, nice as they are to hang on a wall, we like big KPIs way more than diplomas.

Sponsorships are more than just slapping a logo on an event. They require proper investigation, tactful negotiation and solid measurement to ensure you’re getting the most mileage for your marketing dollars.

At AfterMath, our 'Truthpoint' process ensures every sponsorship aligns with your brand's objectives and delivers measurable value.

We dive deep into audience research, media consumption habits and both qualitative and quantitative factors to identify the best opportunities for your brand. We focus on securing the best rates and maximizing value through strategic partnerships and added-value elements. Then we provide in-depth analytics to validate the impact of your sponsorship, using tools like Google Campaign Manager, Google Analytics, and AnalyticOwl to track performance across digital and non-digital channels.
