WE STAND UNIQUELY ALONE!
We think we do a lot of things that no other advertising agency in the world does. One is we guarantee that our ads will work for your company and that you will agree the advertising we do for you is backed up with hard work and a careful thought process. We are also the only marketing company we know of that agrees to do marketing surveys of our clients and even potential clients customers in effort to better know their markets and we do them for free!
We also have enjoyed massive growth in billing, profits and client's profits since 9/11 when our industry went into a tailspin. 2007 was by far the best year our agency has had since 1985 and 2006 and 2005 were the same. Our marketing firm has also contributed to making some of our clients multi millionaires since we started . We enjoy being a humble part of their success! Most of our clients enjoyed banner profits, sales, event attendance and more during this time.
To be totally honest, we are not sure of why we and our clients have been so successful; however we do model our companies after other ones that enjoy unique success in their field like Southwest Airlines.
We are not just a unique agency, we treasure uniqueness in human individuality! We believe in letting people live in their own skin and place a high value on individuality. One other thing we do that we do not know of any other marketing agency does is:
WE PRACTICE UNSELLING!
Every good sales person or marketer needs a weekend off, a time to renew their sprit so they can soar later at writing copy, buying media and other disciplines. There is a time to market and a time to unmarket. One of the ways we unsell is to represent pro bono clients who can not find anyone to help them with their marketing.
We unsell Dole Fruit Company, Dow Chemical Company and Shell Oil Company on behalf of 3000 banana workers.
We have worked hard at getting press for a group of 3000 plus Nicaraguan Banana Workers who have sued these companies and won judgetments from them. These are men and women who are very poor in this hemisphere's second poorest country, who gave up their only source of income to walk in some cases over a hundred miles in a protest and they are almost all suffering form maladies they allege us form the use of the pesticide Nemagon an insecticide that was ruled illegal in the USA, but was continued to be used in Nicaragua. They have won more than one judgment in court but the Shell, Dow and Dole refuse to pay.
We also represent Dolores Street Baptist Church (link) an activist Welcoming and Affirming rebel church in San Francisco and Dolores Street Community Services (link) a organization that has three homeless shelters for homeless Latino refugees and a shelter with 24 hour skilled nursing for homeless men and women with HIV/aids. Our president Alan Beim was the founding board vice president of this organization.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE :
Dolores Street Baptist Church recently adopted a statement voicing its concern over the direction in which the United States is currently being led. The statement that Dolores Street Baptist Church adopted with all members but one voting to adopt it, was first drafted by a west coast meeting held in Oakland of a national organization, the Baptist Peace Fellowship of North America (www.BPFNA.org). The statement reads as follows:
We are compelled by our commitment to a God of justice, to express our grave concern that the United States is being led in a fascist direction. We see this in a number of ways (historically these have been traits of fascist governments):
1. MANIPULATION OF INTELLIGENCE to justify acts of invasion
2. VIOLATION OF CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS such as:
A. Freedom of speech
B. Protection from domestic wire tapping
3 . VIOLATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS
A. State sanctioned assassinations
B. Refusal to abide by the Geneva Conventions of Torture
4. REDIRECTING THE ECONOMY to reward the rich
5. FOSTERING A CULTURE OF FEAR in which concern for security justifies surrendering fundamental freedoms
Dolores Street Baptist Church throughout its history has taken a stand for many of the marginalized of San Francisco. And now we feel again that we must take a stand for those who lie on the margins in our country and throughout the world. We are calling our leaders in government to act in a way that values all human life, regardless of race, religion, level of income, or any of the other ways that people might be categorized and discriminated against. We are praying that the United States government will leave behind its rhetoric of fear and hate and instead adopt language of love and respect. Lay down the weapons of destruction and killing and take up practices of dialogue and non-violence in order to achieve peace in this beautiful world that we believe God has created and calls us all to protect.
