ABOUT
“When I was a kid, it was a huge insult to be a geek.
Now it’s a point of pride in a weird way.”
– J.J. Abrams
Brainchild Studios (BCS) is a boutique digital content marketing and website creation agency serving brands targeting millennial moms.
We have locations in Chicago and Milwaukee, but operate as a virtual agency allowing us the flexibility to handpick the best talent from wherever they may reside. We provide with the same quality of service and deliverables as the big agencies and pride ourselves on our approachability, work ethic and expertise. Why wouldn’t we though, when our team members (who are primarily millennial women) average 7-10 years of industry experience in their respective fields.
When you have a number of millennial women creating content for other millennial women, it leads to a pretty authentic conversation and that’s just how we like it.
At BCS, we utilize best practices, data and behavioral tendencies to drive our strategies and increase conversions for our clients. Our main focus is providing top-of-the-line digital content strategy and website creation services that solve our clients’ business needs.
Our agency reflects the same values that we hold as individuals: Be proud of the work you do. Be kind. Be honest.
You can expect the following when working with us:
- Ease. We want to make our clients’ lives as easy as possible and provide them with a strong online foundation to grow their businesses.
- Expertise. We have a team of about two dozen seasoned experts to provide recommendations for and execution of customized websites and digital strategies for our clients.
- Friendliness. We want to make our mothers proud, so we will always engage with you in a polite, kind, respectful and well-intentioned manner. We might add in a few puns along the way, just for good measure.
- Transparency. We don’t like tricks and we bet you don’t either. So no tricks. No surprises. At least not the unwelcome kind. Everything will be clearly laid out in this contract and we’ll make sure we’re on the same page through regular check-ins.
- Performance. While we will never guarantee landing on the first page of Google or a piece of content going viral, we always prioritize performance, which is reflected in our reporting and insights.
To prove just how easy we’ve tried to make this for you, we’ve expanded our services so we can assist you with almost all of your digital marketing needs. If you like working with us, you’ll save time developing relationships with multiple vendors to get the job done! Check out some of our work!
We offer a variety of services ranging from content strategy to social media execution to web design and development. We want to make it easy for our clients to tell their story online. Each client has their own story to tell. We want to help get that story told.
Because let’s be honest, we all love a good story.
