We all live in a multi-faceted world — where lines blur, and experiences converge. Where we live. Where we work. How we relax. Why we dream. The things we see. The places we go. A high-functioning financial brand can turn it all into an advantage. It takes strategy, but also craft. Design, motion, sound — it all comes together to tell a story and lead consumers to fanatic loyalty.

Branding and marketing, advertising and culture — all of it works better when the right brain meets the left.
Strum values analytics as much as creativity. And then we blend it together. Research, testing, data, digital. It helps shape great brands and makes them more effective. It’s how you squeeze maximum impact out of everything you do.
