What’s in A Name?

Save-ents? Suh-vants? Suh-vonts? In case you’re wondering, it’s the last one.

 

“Savants,” actually. We know it’s hard to pronounce and even harder to spell, but have no fear: AdSavants is here to help! But what’s a savant and why do we call ourselves that?

 

 

According to our friends over at Merriam-Webster, a savant is “a person of profound or extensive learning;  especially : one with detailed knowledge in a specialized field.” That’s a pretty accurate description of who we are, if we do say so ourselves. So what’s in a name?

 

 

“Advertising Savants” represents a team of passionate individuals who each have specialized knowledge in the field of advertising. From strategic planning and management to creative concepting and execution, we like to think of ourselves as a one-stop shop. We love what we do and we’re constantly inspired to push the boundaries of advertising through what we call fresh thinking . So how do we do it?

 

Every day, our small but mighty team works hard to create campaigns that connect brands with consumers who value what they have to offer. Sounds simple, right? But for us, it’s so much more than that. It’s about enriching lives by connecting people in an emotional and meaningful way to the brands we serve. Still with me?

 

All in all, this Agency knows how to pack a punch when it comes to campaign strategy and creative execution. We consider ourselves to have BIG agency smarts with a small agency spirit. Without our team of specialized advertising experts, we wouldn’t have spent over 25 years creating and serving our community through meaningful work. And that’s why we call ourselves AdSavants­—so now you know!

Your Media Budget Isn’t The Strategy

July 14, 2026
Marketing budgets are under a microscope right now. Every dollar is expected to work harder. Every channel has to prove its value. And every campaign is supposed to build awareness, drive engagement, support conversions and deliver measurable results, often all at once! That pressure is real. But a lot of media planning conversations still start in the wrong place. They start with the buy. How much should go into TV? Should we increase paid social? Do we need CTV? What about streaming audio, search, display, outdoor or retargeting? Those are important questions, but they are not the strategy. They’re the execution of a strategy. When media planning begins with channel allocation instead of business goals, even a well-built media plan can turn into a spending exercise instead of a growth strategy.

What Attractions Can Teach Every Brand About Seasonality

June 22, 2026
Most brands treat seasonality like a problem to solve. There are busy months when demand is high, slower stretches when attention drops off, and the constant pressure to keep people engaged year-round. But attractions tend to look at seasonality differently. They use it as an opportunity. Zoos, botanical gardens, museums, cultural institutions and destination-based brands understand how to turn seasons into experiences people actually look forward to: a holiday lights event, blooming spring garden, summer concert series, fall festival or limited-time exhibit. Each season becomes a built-in reason to visit, come back, bring friends or make plans. That’s something almost every brand can learn from.

Don’t Just Promote The Event. Give People A Reason To Go.

May 27, 2026
Seasonal events, limited-time exhibits, concerts, festivals and special experiences can be huge attendance drivers for attractions. But there’s a difference between simply promoting an event and building a campaign around it. A promotion tells people what’s happening. A campaign makes them care. For zoos, botanical gardens, museums, cultural institutions and other destination-based attractions , that difference matters. The real competition usually isn’t another attraction. It’s everything else competing for someone’s time, attention and wallet. People are deciding between sporting events, movie nights, road trips, backyard barbecues, streaming at home or simply staying in. So attraction marketing has to do more than post dates, ticket links and event details. It has to create anticipation. It has to make the experience feel worth the planning.
