When you're an advertising agency and your own corporate website has a page that simply poses the question "Why?" leading to nearly 60 of the best damned reasons why in the form of personal recommendations, comments and praises, it should be little wonder that your agency is ranked among the Top 20 in the major west coast U.S. city where you operate. Thus is the case for St. Joseph born and raised Patrick Yore, who owns and operates Brainblaze Advertising & Design, headquartered in Marin County, California.
Yore, the son of Connie Yore, owner of Days of Yore Antiques in downtown St. Joseph and the late Mike Yore, who owned and operated the former Emporium with Connie, has earned the distinction of being named one of the Top 20 Advertising Agencies in San Francisco by Expertise.com. That's one of the Top 20 out of the more than 1,500 ad agencies in the San Francisco Bay area.
Patrick, who is the owner and Creative Director for the agency, says he is truly "elated and pleasantly surprised" by the honor, adding, "To be named to this list that includes other world-class SF agencies like Butler Shine & Stern and Duncan/Channon validates our passion for images and messages that captivate.” Yore also notes, “This award wasn’t applied for or part of a paid competition, it’s a peer-review process that is pure.”
Expertise.com, an independent business review company located in Seattle, Washington, awards “Top 20” businesses in a variety of industries. Their goal is “to connect people with the best local experts” using a ranking system comprised of more than 25 variables across six categories, including:
- Reputation: A history of delighted customers as a signal of outstanding service.
- Credibility: Building customer confidence with licensing, industry accreditations, and awards.
- Experience: Masters of their craft, based on years of practical experience and education.
- Availability: Consistently approachable and responsive, so customers never feel ignored.
- Professionalism: Providing customers a seamless experience both online and off.
- Engagement: Actively engaged with their customers across a number of platforms.
Brainblaze clients include Bay Area companies such as RaceFuelZ, Yellow Cab SF, MaryanneLive!, Luminous and 2K Games, as well as national accounts like Simplilearn, Accolo and The Oakland Raiders. They specialize in technology, entertainment, sports, transportation, finance and fine consumables but have clients across many diverse categories.
In addition to those clients, Patrick and his crew have crafted considerable marketing muscle for businesses and individuals in Southwest Michigan including the likes of KitchenAid, Lakeland Healthcare, Timothy's, The Livery Brewery, BER HVAC, A Visible Change Painting, Roccy DeFrancesco, Child & Family Services, Days of Yore Antiques, The Friendly Tavern, Last Cavalry, Legacy Vein Clinic, MachMold, Steadfast Machine, Allegretti Architects and Wolverine Inc.
Applauding the people who got him there, Yore says, “This wouldn’t have been possible without our great clients believing in us and giving us the opportunity to help them succeed. Every company deserves the highest caliber communications that reflect and elevate the quality their product or service embodies.” He adds, “Intelligent advertising & design that stimulates interest and desire to know more is what we strive for every day. Knowing that others appreciate our hard work is just plain cool.”
Yore established Brainblaze eleven years ago, in 2005, to be an agency that offers the highest quality marketing communications without a separate charge for ego. Developing technology-driven advertising campaigns for companies as large as Simplilearn, The Oakland Raiders, KitchenAid, Accolo, Packet8 and Sodexo is balanced by the desire to identify, grasp and nurture small business people with great vision and an idea that should be evolved with the most compelling, unified images and messages. With a client list of over 250 successful organizations and companies, Brainblaze is burning brightly.
One would venture to guess that Patrick's mother, Connie, is beaming just as brightly with pride for the work her son has crafted and continues to deliver to clients nationwide. Click this link to learn more about what this talented St. Joe native has created: http://www.Brainblaze.com
