Meet & Marvel

We start with a session

designed for discovery—and a little inspiration. No bland Q&A here—we’re talking big-picture dreams, bold ambitions, and what sets your brand on fire.

By the end, we’ll have insights that aren’t just useful—they’re inspiring.

What you can expect:

  • Deep dive into your goals, audience, and brand voice
  • Explore what sets your brand apart
  • Leave with inspiration and actionable insights

Blueprint with a backbone

This is where strategy meets swagger.

Every move is purposeful, and every milestone is crafted to bring your brand’s story to life in a way no one can ignore.

What you can expect:

  • Define strategic goals and key success metrics
  • Align messaging with your brand’s core values
  • Build a roadmap with clear milestones

Ideas on Overdrive

Our brainstorms are a mix

of magic and mischief. We dig deep, think big, and throw out the rulebook to see what creative ideas are ready to break through.

You’ll see concepts that challenge, connect, and hit all the right chords for your brand.

What you can expect:

  • Explore bold, unexpected creative directions
  • Present multiple concepts with different vibes
  • Collaborate to identify what truly resonates

Refine and Shine

When the vision is set

it’s time for the finer details. We sculpt, sharpen, and sweat the small stuff to make sure the final product is pitch-perfect. Each pixel, color, keyframe, and word gets the love it deserves.

What you can expect:

  • Polish every detail to perfection
  • Revise based on your feedback and insight
  • Finalize messaging, visuals, and execution plan

Showtime!

We don’t just hand off the work and wave goodbye.

When it’s go-time, we’re right beside you, adjusting, refining, and making sure the launch hits hard. Then, we keep an eye on every result, tweak where needed, and celebrate every win.

What you can expect:

  • Launch with confidence and creative firepower
  • Monitor results and real-time performance
  • Adjust, optimize, and enhance post-launch

Company

"Time and time again, their advertising increases our bottom line."

Mark Bradley CSME | Credit Union of New Jersey
  • Company Overview
  • Founded in 1996 (that feels like so long ago)
  • Headquartered in Virginia
  • Distributed across four states
  • Over 80 years of combined creative experience

At CINQ, we’re more than just an ad agency—we’re a team of creative visionaries, strategic thinkers, and downright doers, all driven by a passion for the bold. It’s in our DNA. And so is our name. In fact, CINQ is a nod to our company’s founder, whose French origins continue to inspire a certain je ne sais quoi in our work.

From campaigns that grab attention to strategies that stick, our work continually grows our clients’ bottom lines (and has won some shiny trophies along the way). We believe in brands that connect, creativity that conquers, and results that do the talking.

Ready to see what award-winning creativity looks like in action? Let’s make your brand a force to be reckoned with.
