About Us
What makes us different
FYMC was built with the certainty of conviction that creativity is necessary in every single aspect of the business paradigm.
“If it doesn’t sell, it isn’t creative.” David Ogilvy.
That is true in any process intended to gain strategic insights into all those across the intellectual and emotional divides. Equally true and necessary for those of us who happily toil at influencing, no, provoking thoughts and actions in others. It matters not if creating needs, making calls to action, climbing empirical or perceived Sagarmathas, resolving intellectual Rubik’s cubes, selling ice in the Arctic, in the dead of winter.
First and foremost, we are a creative marketing, advertising and corporate governance powerhouse. Everything we address for our clients is framed in a creative process. Our processes are designed to deliver powerful, finely tuned thought and action provoking messages to select audiences through strategic digital, terrestrial and esoteric advertising placements.
Mediocrity reflects a lack of courage and conviction. Ordinary is very easy to achieve. We built an agency from the ground up, both organically and empirically, to leverage our extensive experience and competencies to create unique ideas and processes for our clients. There will never be anything ordinary about our approach to clients, issues, opportunities, crises, celebrations.
Our identity
Our longevity and broad competencies speak to what we do for our clients.
We are often our clients’ first and last contact about their opportunities, challenges and sometimes their dreams.
All that we do accrues to thoughtful, intelligent, predictable and sustainable revenue and equity generating events and solutions for our clients.
We are adamant about delivering unique advantages in the marketplace for our clients.
