Bernstein-Rein Advertising’s Post

At BR, #independence is a virtue we celebrate daily. By giving our team members permission to be bold, we provide clients with thinking that exceeds expectation and gets surprising results. Break out the sparklers and celebrate responsibly this July 4th! #BRlife #BernsteinRein #BR #BeReal #AgencyLife #AdAgency #AdvertisingAgency #4As #AAFKC

Over the years, we have passed on many opportunities to merge with ad agency holding companies. #Independence is baked into our DNA. It defines us as an agency. And we protect it at all costs. #BRlife #BernsteinRein #BR #BeReal #AgencyLife #AdAgency #AdvertisingAgency #4As #AAFKC

Like the colonists back in 1776, we believe in being fiercely independent in everything we do. We move fast, act nimbly and make decisions based on data and insight—not shareholder value. #Independence #BRlife #BernsteinRein #BR #BeReal #AgencyLife #AdAgency #AdvertisingAgency #4As #AAFKC

It’s always a great time when clients are in town! Last week, we had the pleasure of welcoming ArchWell Health to Kansas City for our Q2 planning session. It was fantastic to strategize, share insights, and engage in meaningful conversations to create great work together. From productive meetings to delightful meals and fun activities, including visits to local businesses, we had an incredible time. Looking forward to an exciting quarter ahead! #ArchWellHealth #ClientVisit #StrategicPartnership #Collaboration #BRlife #BernsteinRein #BR #BeReal #AgencyLife #AdAgency #AdvertisingAgency

BR launched a new BRunch & Learn series last Tuesday with guest speakers from The BrandLab taking us through a workshop from their Fearless Series – Words Matter: Intent vs Impact. Michaela Clubb, Amy Brown and Kayla Pollard revealed how unconscious bias can impact our thinking and communication in ways we may not realize. We learned to sit in the uncomfortable and do the hard work, in order to help build our capacity to be uncomfortable. Our president, Kelli Anstine, summed the session up nicely – “You all have a fearless commitment. We have a Be Real commitment. Both are really about holding each other accountable in all of our communications – texts, emails, teams chats and recognizing that tone matters and when communication should be in person. I would encourage us all to be fearless with each other. That’s where we’re going to dispel some of the things we accidentally do.” #BRunchAndLearn #WordsMatter #DiversityInAdvertising #ProfessionalDevelopment #BRlife #BernsteinRein #BR #BeReal

At Bernstein-Rein, we use our 60 years of retail experience to craft an InsideOut Retail view of brands - uncovering consumer insights and understanding how those insights intersect with brands at every touchpoint. As we celebrate Pride Month with the LBTQIA+ community, we find it interesting how brands are participating this year - not only in the social space, but in the retail environment as well. Do you think these brands are making decisions based on consumer insights or simply reacting to the loudest voices and avoiding the noise? #PrideMonth #RetailTrends #RetailInsights #RetailExperience #ConsumerInsights #MarketingStrategy #BernsteinRein #BR #AdAgency #AdvertisingAgency

Today we celebrated an incredible cause! 💚 BR had the honor of attending The Children's Place Gratitude Bruncheon, an annual event that celebrates the passionate community dedicated to helping restore childhood for those affected by trauma. Our history with The Children’s Place goes back to the very beginning, when Bob Bernstein became one of the founding members of this much-needed organization. Since then, The Children's Place has been a beacon of hope and healing, providing vital mental health support to over 400 children and families this year alone. We are proud to support their mission and the amazing work they continue to do. Thank you to all the staff, donors, volunteers, and partners who make this possible. #TheChildrensPlace #GratitudeBruncheon #Bruncheon2024 #CommunityImpact #BRFamily #BRLife #MentalHealthMatters #ChildrensMentalHealth
