Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
Davidoff Communications was formed in 2005 in order to put our Mission-Driven Marketing approach into action. Since our clients are all uniquely different, it makes sense to treat each of their needs as uniquely different. Mission-Driven Marketing helps our clients recognize those needs and helps us develop a program to maximize their effectiveness.
What is your primary product or service?
Davidoff Communications provides professional marketing assistance and consulting to businesses and nonprofit organizations. We produce results-oriented programs to build brand awareness, attain event/organization sponsors and partners, and help our clients' transform ineffective marketing efforts into successful, forward-moving campaigns.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
I come from a communications field family, so marketing strategies were regular dinnertime conversation and the importance of sales, pride-in-self and quality of work was impressed on me as much as eating my vegetables.
I'm 23 years into my career and have worked accounts for many well-known and well-respected businesses. In the Northeast, I was the lead on an account for 30 franchises in a start-up chain you may have heard of -- Domino's Pizza.
When I moved to Chicago, I worked on several large accounts, such as Anheuser-Busch and State Farm Insurance. It was there that I began to have the 'entrepreneurial itch' and began developing my Mission-Driven Marketing approach, as well as my goals for my future agency: Davidoff Communications.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
Our agency differentiates itself through its approach. When we begin our work with a client, we assess their strengths and their weaknesses, evaluate their realistic needs and their desired results, and develop our strategies and tactics with that profile in mind. Mission-Driven Marketing works so well because of its flexibility. Whether our client is an organization seeking to promote a cause-related event or campaign, or a corporation wanting to be more socially responsible and relevant, the MDM approach allows us to work and think outside traditionally-defined marketing methods in order to achieve results.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
We have one location (10 S. LaSalle, Suite 1450, Chicago, IL) and the only expansion we would currently consider is internal. We have a knowledgeable and professional core group right now and any future additions must hold themselves to the same high self-standard our current staff does.
Which areas do you service?
Strategic Planning, Corporate Partnerships, Nonprofit Partnerships, Cause Marketing, Social Responsibility, Sponsorships and Philanthropy.
Who owns your company or runs daily operations?
Davidoff Communications is owned and managed by John Davidoff.
What are your hours of operation?
Our office is open weekdays from 8:30 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. We can, however, schedule off-hour meetings or conference calls if needed.
