We’re not really into elevators; we prefer the stairs. But here goes.

Tom, Dick & Harry is Chicago’s craft agency. Smaller. Fussier. Naturally friendlier. We build brand images by hand so they’re more memorable, meaningful and beautiful. Our best relationships are with clients who appreciate the extra value creativity delivers. And at the end of the day, it’s the end of the day. We go home to be with our families or dogs. (Unless you need something turned around overnight.)

The International Union Of People Who Give A Damn.
Damn right all of our departments belong.

Design

The eyes are our gatekeepers to the world. Everything we create must be beautiful enough to steal gazes and cause traffic accidents.

Digital

Digital is the most powerful force in marketing today. The only thing more powerful than digital is a really great brand idea. Imagine if you had both.

Copywriting

We use the power of emotion to craft distinctive, likable brand personalities. Make 'em laugh. Make 'em cry. Make 'em think. Otherwise you're just "pissin' in the wind," to borrow from songwriter extraordinaire Jerry Jeff Walker.

Account Services

Our philosophy: blur the line between client and agency. Understand the brand as well as the brand managers. In fact, it shouldn’t feel like separate client and agency offices, rather one big long hallway connecting us. And memorize the washroom codes.

Social Media

@TDHcreative Harry
People are wasting a lot of time on #socialmedia. Time they used to be wasting on TV, so you can’t afford to not be there too.

Ask not what your tweet can do for your brand. Ask what a #brand_idea can do for your tweet.

The digital generation does not think of itself as the #digitalgeneration because they do not remember analog. To them, it’s not digital, it’s just life.

Production

A great idea that looks like a turd or is late is no longer great. It is, in fact, a turd.

Research

We just don't make this stuff up. Every campaign, every project, every tweet is built atop a firm strategic foundation. We devour research. We just make sure it doesn't bleed through too much and make the execution feel like an MBA lecture.

Media

We work with a wide network of media partners and spec the perfect one for each job. From the world’s largest media firms to individual consultants with world-class skills. It’s media made-to-order.

Public Relations

We try to make every idea we generate publicity-worthy. And many times publicity is the idea. Public relations are a big hammer in our toolbox. It's often the first thing we recommend that clients do.
