2016 was marked by several launches for the world’s biggest blockbusters, according to agency leaders at STRIKEFORCE.
The Year’s Accomplishments
“True to its name, STRIKEFORCE marched into 2016 and seized key launch assignments for two of the world’s biggest drugs from Amgen and Gilead,” executives say. “By year’s end, the agency had cemented its DTC AOR status for Gilead’s entire hepatitis C portfolio, including major launches for a multi-channel Hep C Get Tested disease awareness campaign as well as the branded launch for Epclusa. STRIKEFORCE also introduced new DTC work for Amgen’s Neulasta Onpro and was tapped to handle creative duties for Imlygic.”
STRIKEFORCE execs say the agency expanded engagements with Amniox Medical and ended 2016 with a new assignment from Sunovion and a major new business win from Acadia Pharmaceuticals.
Agency leaders attribute the surge of launch success to the way clients are increasingly responding to the “pallid offerings and compromises of monolithic traditional shops” as well as burgeoning interest in new and different solutions.
Beyond wining the business, STRIKEFORCE continued its “tour de force” of industry recognition by snaring top honors for the agency’s Harvoni campaign for Gilead. The agency also continued its alliances with RAPP and Horizon Media and will collaborate with these shops across select client business, executives say.
According to agency leaders, at the close of 2016, STRIKEFORCE had doubled in revenue, tripled in space and quadrupled in people.
Structure & Services
Executives say STRIKEFORCE is a highly entrepreneurial marketing communications agency with a philosophy that is based on the concept of “Precision Pairing.”
“By design, the agency operates through an open-source structure and a S.W.A.T. team approach that allows STRIKEFORCE to tap into its network of talent and resources, including Agency alliances, specifically choose the right talent and expertise for each client, resulting in truly customized solutions, lower costs, streamlined work flow and a more powerful end result,” agency leaders note.
According to its management, STRIKEFORCE offers a suite of integrated services, including strategic/brand planning, creative development/execution, insight mining, media planning/buying, search, database management, and digital. The agency has applied these services from sales support to television, print, radio, CRM, promotion, in-office, and interactive.
Future Plans
Agency leaders say the STRIKEFORCE mission is to help more clients recognize the unparalleled value of an open source model to help them achieve a commanding edge in the marketplace. To accomplish this, the agency will continue to expand its network of top-level talent and alliance partners, which is currently at more than 500.
Philanthropy/Citizenship
Executives believe that in 2016, STRIKEFORCE is on track to achieve double-digit revenue growth.
STRIKEFORCE is a supporter of Children First, a Sarasota, Fla.-based organization that serves more than 600 of Sarasota County’s most vulnerable children, birth to five years old, and their families, executives say.
