ABOUT

Not your average thinking about home and building product marketing.
That’s how we generate above-average results.

At Draper DNA, we’re big fans of challenging the conventional thinking that’s turned home and building product marketing into an uninspiring muddle of sameness we’ve all come to know and hate.

Nothing against your products—it just seems that all too often the people tasked with telling the world couldn’t really give a damn about them. We, on the other hand, love this stuff.
Even better, we know what the heck we’re doing.

We’re entrepreneurs who believe there’s a better, faster, less expensive way of achieving your goals. We’ve got a pretty decent working knowledge of job sites that dates back three generations. We’ve got a deep pool of industry knowledge and a wealth of marketing experience. We’re up on the latest trends, and familiar with the most-effective sales tools.
These days that means:

Embracing disruptive marketing to propel you to the top of mind, market and wallet

Creating social media influencer programs with architects, designers and consumers

Leveraging marketing technology for geo-targeting, lead generation and, yes, sales

Tomorrow? The tools may change, and we’ll be able to tell you all about them.* But the need to keep messages simple and powerful remains constant.

It all boils down to Rule #1:
If you’re not getting attention, you’re not getting your money’s worth.

*Maybe the next generation of algorithms won’t require a mind-numbing number of words on a web page to get some SEO attention, but for now that’s best practice so here we are.
