Less structured and more personalized than the standard ad agency, In a Word delivers agency level copy at more affordable prices. We believe the success of a creative project is largely due to the relationship between client and vendor. That’s why we only take on a workload we can handle—so we’re free to give you our customized attention and full creative efforts. And we charge on a per project basis, sparing you the expense and commitment of a monthly retainer.

In a Word’s extensive list of clients includes Olson Homes, Luskin-Clark Service Company, The Kor Hotel Group (Viceroy, Avalon, Sheraton Gateway), The St. Regis Monarch Beach Resort and Spa, KB Home, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Standard Pacific Homes, Lennar, and the YWCA of Greater Los Angeles.
