EMP The Agency
The Agency is an advertising and communications firm that recruits and harnesses talent for operational development & marketing through strategy and media content. This Chicago-based company is sought after and known for assisting major agencies and billion dollar brands with promotional content and media. WJ
In an industry centered in fashionable creative trends, we are something
of an oddity with an original, yet conservative, approach to marketing. EMP The Agency is advertising, marketing, media and digital consulting at its finest. This group functions as one that scrutinizes governance and management ethics to address fundamental issues and creative opportunities. EMP the Brand
With efforts to nurture natural passion and produce valuable life products to the common person for daily usage, Stokes the Brand is a platform for multiple life products. Through our brand’s collaborations and contributions, we qualify as a widely attributable asset to every consumer. With experience in brand consulting we partner with other brands so that they may effectively present their products, whether it is Ford Motors or Prada Clothing. Through creation, management, or reinvention through distribution, we assist brands in turning the wheel of innovation. EMP the Charity
As “The heart of our Empire” The Foundation specializes in the development and study of urban economics. Its sole purpose is to provide awareness, as well as educational and outsourced scholarship programs. As a charitable platform, we donate our services to help manage the business components of not-for-profit companies by providing corporate consulting, and our overall business expertise. We also play our part in shaping tomorrow by offering internships. Rather walking 5 miles to raise awareness or walking into a hospital to encourage someone with HIV/AIDS we push to be involved. We even have certified counselors who don’t just test the patient but stand the test with them. It’s not about what you do, its about knowing if someone cares. Business Management
The best way to understand the breadth of our capability is to dissect our organizational functions; so here is a peek into how we manage our business. Several smaller businesses joined forces and brought teams that together, manage one large company. This pillar helps us tackle in-house key components through governance, operations, innovation through Technology, Risk, Regulation, Sustainability, Strategy, and Growth & Managing talent from its moments of needed in-house auditing or consultancy for clients to development and digital distribution. Our Empire functions as it does because we understand the collective benefit of an extra set of eyes that is just as creative and just as in tune to the corporate vision as the perfect assistant. Media & Entertainment
The second pillar in learning about us is learning our creative process in the agency. We have years of experience in broadcasting and print media to back our years of experience in business managing. Our operation and distinctiveness when creating and distributing media emerges from our in depth study of purposeful media. Market realities continue to reshape the media and entertainment industry: Technology platforms are evolving rapidly, new business models are emerging, consumer viewing habits are changing and new competition is arising from multiple sectors. We help adapt to the realities of the digital age, breaking new ground to simplify operations, better understand consumers, provide content effectively and capitalize on new opportunities. Lifestyle Merchandise
Our lifestyle merchandise is the tangible side of our corporate culture. Everything that we create is necessity to our personal day-to-day living. Bearing in mind that comfort and compatibility is key to the efficiency of a CEO, our lifestyle merchandise allows every businessperson to function at his or her maximum level. Our pride is in organically fulfilling personal necessities. Our marketing approach comes from the beliefs that if we need it, so will you. Our lifestyle merchandise lets the consumers’ identity be acknowledged within the use of our product. Many lifestyle brands purposely refer to existing groups or cultures. Ours does just that. We have specifically geared our brand for the urban CEO that conducts business both from home, at the office, as well as during travel. Activism & Global Humanitarian Efforts
We at EMP, make intentional efforts to disrupt, oppose, or defy the established social or political status quo. Through a wide range of forms we are able to put our stamp of effort in making a difference in the world we live in. By requesting of ourselves the type of service to people that is deemed to be charitable, we bring about a sense of pride in ourselves as well as giving new life to those we help. EMP employs our global humanitarian efforts by searching out social injustice, lack of aid to those in need, and children deprived of very basic needs. Then we work to eradicate them. History
Who would have ever notioned that a thirteen year old child, playing businessman of an Empire and employing his friends, would later develop into a business that would produce such operational accuracy? Here at EMP our history starts there. After years, the playground of ideas would grow into a well-invested passion and a business venture for a group of friends in which to succeed.
