Having flown under the radar for many years as part of Precoa, the @need team took the opportunity in Vegas to make their formal debut onto the scene as an independent agency. “For the past few years, we’ve essentially been in evaluation mode,” says Michael Anderson, head of the @need agency. “We wanted to be sure that we could deliver valuable results to our partners and that we could maintain a level of support for them that matched the high Precoa standard of care. We’ve had many encouraging indications that we can successfully meet the at-need marketing needs of firms, and we’re ready to take our services to scale.” @need Marketing’s ICCFA Debut Michael Anderson Attending the ICCFA Convention and Expo was the perfect way for @need Marketing to share the officially launched brand with friends and partners in person, showcasing the bold new brand design with a simple yet sleek booth and stress ball swag. The highlight of the whole experience, however, was getting to connect with friends and partners, whether it was on the convention floor, in the Foundation Room, or around the resort. “We love being members of ICCFA and supporting funeral home owners this way,” says JennyMcClanahan, creative director at @need. “The whole thing is such an amazing learning opportunity for everyone. We get to be inspired by funeral homes, keynote speakers and other vendors while also teaching firms about what we do and why it’s important for their business. Everyone who attends gets so much out of it.” The @need team returned home from Vegas enriched and enlightened by the words of the convention keynote speakers and are eager to apply what they have learned as they formulate marketing strategies for their partners. @need would like to thank Gary Freytag and the entire ICCFA team for putting together a wonderful event. Their hard work is very much appreciated, and @need looks forward to creating more fond memories at next year’s convention. @need is a full-service marketing agency that supports funeral homes’ offline and online marketing needs such as public relations, videos, print advertising, search engine optimization, paid search, geofencing and more. Combining the power of relevant content and powerful creative, @need’s purpose is to help funeral homes throughout North America stay at the cutting edge of at-need marketing.
