WE USE AI PLUS HUMAN EXPERIENCE TO TELL YOUR COMPANY’S STORY

AI amplifies what we do, and we amplify AI. It’s a partnership. The integration of our 30+ years of marketing and creative expertise with powerful AI resources produces unprecedented results.

A MARKETING AND CREATIVE AGENCY THAT TRANSLATES INNOVATION INTO CUSTOMER VALUE

Most innovators need a translator. It’s one thing to invent a breakthrough. Explaining it simply, in a way that motivates the right people, is a whole other ballgame. We bridge the gap between innovation and market engagement.

How our integration with AI amplifies our ability to connect with humans

Reality2 unique superpower has always been the ability to inspire action. How? We connect our client’s “story” with what businesspeople truly care about. Now, we’ve added AI at every phase to amplify our ability to make a critical human connection.

Leveraging vast troves of information
The vast trove of information made accessible by AI grows by the day. Not only do we leverage AI’s market intelligence, industry trends, and predictive analytics. We engage in a dialogue with AI as a brainstorming partner, too! AI makes us better at what we do at every phase.

From your humans to ours
There’s no substitute for the input we get from the real humans on your team as we collaborate on strategy. We build bridges across departments. Yes, we get R&D and sales to agree! We translate your innovations into human value with an empathetic understanding of what your customers care about, their pain and priorities. You’ll deserve their trust.

Curation, collaboration and creation
The firehose of knowledge and opinion AI generates can be overwhelming. No problem. For 30 years, we’ve been judicious curators of what’s meaningful and what’s going to work. Importantly, the ability to distill all this into something original and compelling, a message that truly connects and motivates, is profoundly human.

Is your message obsolete?
7 signs it’s time to reposition

Reality is a moving target. Every time you turn around, your world has evolved. What’s changed? Most likely, everything. AI can impact all 7!

1. You’ve outgrown your message and image

You’re bigger, more diversified, smarter, and/or more focused than you were. You’ve incorporated AI. You have new tech. New products. Your service has improved. You’ve made a strategic acquisition to increase your reach.

2. Your target market has changed

Your prospects have different priorities. Or more choices. Price and cost savings may be a bigger issue than they were before, which means value-added selling is a key to differentiation. Or, your old market is shrinking. You’re shifting into new segments with a whole new set of needs.

3. Competition has changed

Your current value proposition isn’t quite so unique anymore. Maybe there’s new competition – whether from new technologies with AI or cheaper knock-offs. Or, a big competitor is about to enter your niche and you need to pre-empt them.

4. The old model doesn’t work

The concept or business model had great potential, but didn’t pan out as expected. It’s time to pivot! You’ve identified where you want to go and need to make a shift, fast.

5. People don’t “get” what you do

Very common with technology companies. After a half-hour discussion or visit to your website, the question you get is, “What do you do, again?” Time to focus and simplify.

6. The environment is different now

AI is disrupting everything at warp speed. The game has changed, creating new options, platforms and purchasing patterns. You need to re-evaluate messaging strategy in the face of this and other new trends.

7. You’re ready to go to the next level

When you first started, you could get by with the home-grown approach. Now you’re ready for the next leap forward. It’s time to bring in professional marketers for strategy and execution.

Strategically creative websites that translate and motivate

Based on the strategic framework we’ve developed, our creative execution simplifies complexity and dramatizes your difference, translating your story into clear and simple language that creates engagement.

HOW WE DO ITSEE WEBSITES

Can you explain your innovation to a 6-year-old?

The more complex your product or service, the more important it is to simplify your communications, keeping a sharp focus on what’s important and what’s not. While we use a sophisticated process to arrive at the final answers, pretending that we have to explain what your company does in terms so simple that a 6-year-old can understand it is always a good exercise.

SEE OUR PROCESS AND RESULTS

But enough about us. Here is what our clients say about us

Over the years, we’ve had many happy clients. Both in ongoing relationships and on a single project basis. Below is what a few of them have to say:

As a search fund company CEO, I have worked with Reality2 on two ventures with excellent results. Their process for developing a strategic framework engages key legacy players to integrate real-world insights with transformational ideas. Out of this they develop websites and marketing tools that resonate with each type of stakeholder, supporting growth goals. I recommend them highly.

Chris Lueck, CEO, Permitium

Reality2 knows how to clearly communicate the usefulness and unique value of our particle accelerator innovations to our prospective customers. As our branding and marketing agency, they have been an important collaborator as we commercialize our R&D for national labs and industrial applications such as cancer radiation therapy, national security, and food sterilization.

Salime Max Boucher, CEO, RadiaBeam

Reality2 took us into an important adjacent market with the launch of a spin-off company to develop and market a revolutionary radiation oncology system. The introductory website has had strong impact with customers, potential employees and investors with rapid closing of a $6 million Series A round

Salime Max Boucher, CEO, RadiaBeam

The creativity, professionalism and insight that Reality2 brought to the table gave Food4All a new website that told our story in a relevant and engaging way to each of our audiences. Reality2's approach is both highly strategic and original. We stand out, with a unified brand voice and clear value proposition. We continue to receive compliments on the new website from prospects to customers to business partners. Everyone who sees it, loves it. We highly recommend Reality2.

Kami Semick, CEO, Food4all

Daylight Transport has worked with Reality2 since 2009 on a variety of marketing initiatives and programs. They have done an excellent job for us on both strategy and creative to highlight what it is that differentiates Daylight Transport from other Less-Than-Truckload carriers. For example, they developed an effective sales support program which positioned our speed and added-value services in terms of strategic savings for the customer, producing a kit of materials ranging from sales support literature to online landing pages. They created an entirely new website for us which re-branded Daylight and clearly set us apart from competitors. And the videos they have produced for us have been well-received. Farida and her team do great work.

Greg Steele, Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing, Daylight Transport

Reality2 brings a rare strategic vision that lifts them far above other creative agencies. For 11 years, their work made an essential contribution to SNL Financial’s company’s continued growth and success (SNL sold for $2.2 billion in 2015). Reliable, creative, fast, smart, flexible, leading-edge and a true pleasure to work with — the gang at Reality2 is all that and more! We’re now continuing the relationship at OPIS.

Rick Wilkes, Vice President of Marketing at OPIS

I fully recommend Farida and her team at Reality2. They helped us redefine how we think about and articulate who we are. The messaging has been a hit across the org, particularly front line sales and marketing. In two+ years, we built a valuable business which recently sold for a significant multiple of our original purchase price. Many factors contributed including the narrative Reality2 helped us create.

Rameez Ansari, co-CEO, FieldEdge (formerly Desco)

Our outdated website didn’t leverage our #1 market leader position. Reality2’s rebranding differentiates us and raises the level of the conversation with an engaging site that shows how our software helps stakeholders address key challenges. The Reality2 team adds value at every step: strategic insights, impactful storytelling and tech support. I like the way they took our rebranding project and ran with it. They know what to do.

CEO, Medicat

When we brought in Reality2 for rebranding, we were shooting for a web presence that would elevate us to a Fortune 500 level. Our new site accomplishes this goal. Reality2 has a unique talent for framing and expressing a company’s story in the right light, both strategically and creatively. The copy and design are world class. Plus, Reality2 is very collaborative, responsive and good to work with. We recommend them highly.

Trevor Lwin and Bruce Moszcelt, Co-CEOs, T-BASE

Reality2’s rebranding made the uniqueness of our brand tangible and relevant to our customers. We’re very excited about our new website, which shows how our software removes obstacles so that behavioral health agencies can help more people. The website also supports the special culture we’re building internally. From strategy through creative execution, Reality2 did an excellent job. I highly recommend them.

Peter Flick, CEO, Remarkable Health

Reality2 helped us to understand that there is a better way to position our message, a universal value proposition that appeals to all our stakeholders. We now have a website that emphasizes how our unique structure helps all of our customers. The site is a tool for our national network of advisors to express their value proposition and promote business development, while providing support for development of new advisory firms to our Pensionmark family.

Troy Hammond, CEO. Pensionmark

Reality2 developed a messaging strategy and new website for Euclid which did a great job of integrating our diverse products, technologies and services in a dynamic, unified brand context. Later we went back to them for a new multi-panel page to launch our electronic brachytherapy solution. They're experts at distilling and translating highly technical inputs into clear communication that engages a wide range of audiences.

Darrin Leonhardt, PhD, Chief Innovation Officer, Euclid

Reality2 has a special ability to translate complex technology innovations into tangible, clear and simple value propositions that resonate. They did a great job on Riptide’s first rebranding. We came back to them two years later when we shifted our focus to the large enterprise market. They created an entirely new website to support our new strategy. Farida and her team “get it” and are a pleasure to work with.

Marti Ogram, VP Marketing and Co-Founder, Riptide

When Interior Office Solutions (IOS) and Haworth (our minority investor) launched an innovative collaboration, Reality2 gave us a brand architecture that leverages the strengths and commonalities of the two firms. From strategy to creative execution, Reality2 did a great job of nailing it quickly and telling a customer-focused story. Re-branding IOS as “PeopleSpace,” they show how the new entity amplifies our core values. They’re sharp, proactive and fun to work with.

Jesse Bagley, President and CEO, PeopleSpace (formerly IOS – Interior Office Solutions)

Reality2 took a proactive, strategic and creative approach to helping us with our rebranding by analyzing our competition, target customers, and industry environment. They really honed in on our customer's unmet needs, and were great at translating our product difference into a creative and clearly portrayed story. The Reality2 team is very responsive and continues to support us as our product evolves.

Ryan Nolan, Co-Founder, PhotoniCare
