Moving People
The phrase “moving people” takes on different meanings depending on the context in which it is used. SB&A is in the business of moving people—moving people to use a new road, buy a new home, relocate a business or purchase a product. And, always, this involves moving people emotionally. Can the face of a Labrador retriever make someone pay $2.50 to get home 12 minutes sooner? Can a direct mail campaign move someone to sell his or her home of 30 years and move to an Active Adult or senior living community? Can a Web page change someone’s heart and make that person give to a cause? In this edition, we at SB&A look more closely at the concept of moving people and how that relates to our work. Enjoy.
