Too many companies (and agencies) make the mistake of trying to be “hip” when branding to the trend setting youth audience. Instead, they can come off as lame or insulting.

DegreesInc knows better. Marketing-savvy young adults can smell a phony miles away. So we develop a “voice” and personality for your brand that speaks with honesty, knowledge and intelligence to young consumers… creating brand loyalty that lasts.

Brand strategies are developed for our clients that resonates with the youth. Our product packaging, fulfillment and distribution channels can also help you get your new product to market faster with integrated marketing support, packaging, fulfillment and distribution.

2. Our Network: If you need a top skater as a spokesperson, a well-trained and representative street marketing team or a hot band for a launch party, we’ll hook you up. We have solid relationships with the top athletes, celebrities, promoters and performers in today’s youth culture. Our creative network is continually working to stay on the cutting edge of nontraditional and emergent marketing techniques. We also have international event production experience giving you access to a worldwide audience.

3. Our Research: To understand the youth, you must stay connected with them. Youth marketing research, focus groups and street teams are a great start, and we’re taking it even further with our Youth Research Center.
