R.Bruer Company is a strategic communications advisory firm in Portland, Ore. We counsel executives and marketers of innovative businesses and organizations whose ideas, products and services contribute to a sustainable future — environmentally, socially, economically. Our Mission to Brand™ services establish a strategic foundation for the marketing and communications of our clients.
Client Focus
We don’t concentrate on certain industries or sectors. Nor does it matter whether your establishment is large or small, local or global, for-profit or not-for-profit, self-funded or venture-backed. The common denominator we look for are values; namely, a recognition that financial goals are not at odds with protecting and enhancing the environment and attending to the needs of all stakeholders — customers, members, employees, volunteers, citizens, communities, suppliers, government, donors, investors.
How We Help
Whether you’re a nonprofit or a commercial venture, you operate in a noisy, competitive world. R.Bruer’s experience and approach help you compete more effectively by giving valuable strategic focus to your marketing and communications. Without a larger purpose and direction, marketing programs are merely activities and their results are either negligible or unintended.
We’ll give your marketing the advantages of:
- a clear organizational mission
- well-understood business goals
- a distinct and relevant brand identity
- a deeper understanding of your stakeholders and competitors
