Who We Are & What We're About

ComGroup's

Philosophy

Marketing is a data-driven discipline. Technology rules, so we mine data for powerful insights that give our clients an advantage. We’ve also learned not to overreact by throwing out what works in favor of putting all of our eggs into the “newest thing” basket. A little discipline, combined with strategy, always pays off.

Creating value for our clients is done by the numbers. Data and research drive the development and implementation of integrated marketing and public relations plans, of which we view advertising as one tool.

Our brand promise to our customers is to deliver data-driven integrated marketing communications using multichannel implementation and responsive monitoring. We call that brand delivery Powering Insight.

Roots

Starting an advertising agency in the 1980s saturated advertising market meant taking a giant leap of faith, calculated risk and a good dose of going against the grain. We embraced them all.

The Communications Group opened its doors in 1987, on Friday the 13th, on the 13th floor of our building, overlooking the scenic Arkansas River in downtown Little Rock, Arkansas. We had four partners, two employees, 90 days of working capital and no clients. So much for calculated risk.

But, we made it. Three decades of marketing have given way to an agency culture of strength, adaptation and agility. We know how swift and brutal business can be. But, big deal. We don’t have a single client that hasn’t faced many of the same challenges at some point. We know firsthand that business is a tough game.
