No Cookie Cutters Here

As an agency that cares deeply about the work we do, this week was especially rewarding. 
We were fortunate to spend time with a client that is equally passionate about the work they do – and what they do is help people put their lives back together.
Our client, Hanley Center, is a special place where help becomes hope. While we spent much of this week quite literally blown away by the depth of the services offered, the compassion, the capabilities and level of care provided. We also saw similarities to the way we approach our work. At Hanley Center and at d+g, there are no cookie cutter solutions.
One of the things that make Hanley Center such a special place is the approach they take in treating the disease of addiction. Their programs are gender and age specific, helping to set the tone from the outset that treatment is specialized and personalized. Although the professionals at Hanley Center are proficient in recognizing the commonalities of addiction and recovery, they are also cognizant that they must understand each individual’s unique experiences, to know them personally, to best know how to help them.
Similarly, we simply cannot offer creative marketing solutions for any of our clients without first understanding what uniquely makes them tick. We’ve never met any two clients with identical needs nor do we ever intend to. At d+g, we believe that the art in what we do is two-fold, with the first piece being our ability to identify those qualities that are most special about, and important to the success of our client’s business. Once this part of the puzzle is solved, the creative elements we develop happen effortlessly, the way good creative always does. It actually feels quite magical.
And magical is one of the words we use most often to describe Hanley Center. To meet patients in recovery, experiencing freedom for the first time in a long time, is powerful. Freedom to get back to their lives the way they were meant to be lived – back to building relationships rather than tearing them apart. At Hanley Center, people are learning to be confident and capable once again, to recapture success in their lives. How wonderful!
