Right Stuff Media

Right Stuff Media isn’t your ordinary online marketing services company. We take pride in our unique approach to our clients and follow a core set of values to ensure the most amazing experience for development and execution of your projects.

Personal Touch

Right Stuff Media focuses on the human touch that’s so often lacking in these high-tech times. We treat each client as part of the ‘family’ and we take your concerns as our own. Every person is different and this goes for businesses as well. There is no one-size-fits-all solution and no plug-and-play method when it comes to promoting businesses. Our long years of experience have taught us that.

Integrity

Every relationship begins with trust and an appreciation for the common goals. In our interactions with our clients, partners, and families our commitment is to always do the right thing. When we’re entrusted with a client’s business, we take it very seriously. We will always take the long-term view, even if it’s not the most popular approach. In the end, the golden rule guides our business and we like it that way.

Transparency

Whether the project is large or small, we believe in our clients having complete visibility as with which they are investing for their business. As we start-up an engagement, and on an ongoing basis as we continue our relationship, we ensure a fully understanding of accounts. We thoughtfully communicate any and all relationships between our company and others that may be involved in a solution, to ensure our clients understand how their solution is being developed and delivered.

Simplicity

Why make things more complicated than they need to be? We know that our clients have a hard time navigating the alphabet soup of Internet-speak. Marketing is still marketing, whether it’s online or off. It’s all about putting your product or service in front of the people who are hungry for it. We focus on keeping things as simple as possible so that you understand what we’re doing to advance your online presence.

Results Driven

Our methods focus on results. We measure our successes not by what we tried to do, but by what succeeded. Our approach is to start with the results you want for your business and work our way back to develop the concrete methods that will get you there.

Collaboration

When you hire a company to handle your marketing, you want to be actively involved in what they’re doing. That’s why at Right Stuff Media, we see each project as a collaboration. Our methods are transparent and we fully explain them to you in layman’s terms so that you can be a part of the process. After all, it’s your business. You should be in control.

Data-Based Decisions

The devil is in the details, or many times hiding within the numbers. In God we trust, all others bring data. Our value to our clients is to help demystify the data that pertains to their project or campaign, whether its a simple goal funnel, or Facebook’s latest “insights” term, which has yet to be accepted into the English language.

Innovation

The world of Internet marketing changes in the blink of an eye. There are always new traffic methods, changes to search engine algorithms, and cutting edge technology and trends. Yesterday’s methods no longer get results. We stay current on these changing trends online, so that you get the return on investment.

Spirit of Fun

You’ll find that the team at Right Stuff Media are friendly and laid back. We love what we do and it shows. Helping your business succeed is not only fun for us, it’s also one of the most rewarding feelings we could ask for.

Dentsu Aegis Network

Our values define what is important to us and how we do business. They are a shared set of beliefs, which drive our behaviour and bind us together beyond individual brands and geographies. As Dentsu Network and Aegis Media came together to create Dentsu Aegis Network, we engaged with our people to identify the values which made sure we retained the best of our collective heritages, created the opportunities to collaborate with Dentsu Inc. and would be critical to the successful delivery of our new vision. Our values are:

Agile – we need to be nimble, quick and flexible, thinking and acting differently
Pioneering – we’re innovative, risk-taking self starters, building an industry legacy
Ambitious – we have a trail-blazing and inquisitive culture where relentlessness and hunger are rewarded
Responsible – we take individual and collective responsibility for our thoughts and actions
Collaborative – we work together globally to deliver a consistent brand experience and partner together locally to provide the best client solution

Our values permeate Dentsu Aegis through our behaviour both as individuals and companies. They determine how we work in partnership and through wider collaboration, how we approach our relationships internally, with existing clients and how we win new business. They also influence the way we hire new people, develop employees, review performance, evaluate reward and achieve promotion.

Yara

Ambition

Performing above expectations, taking initiative and constantly working in line with Yara´s ambitions and personal goals.

Asking bold, brave questions; curiosity is the lifeblood of our culture. It is curiosity that builds knowledge and it’s the power of inquiry that led Yara’s three remarkable founders to head off an impending famine in the early 20th century.

Collaboration

Working together with mutual respect, partnership, and appreciation of all perspectives and approaches. The art of collaboration – both internally within Yara and externally with the rest of the world – amplifies our collective knowledge.

Accountability

Being reliable, taking responsibility and always having Yara´s and society´s interests in mind when faced with tough decisions. Through accountability trust is earned.
