Inglewood Memorial Park was in need of new branding that better communicated who we are and what we stood for. LAads did a wonderful job, through their research and insights, in creating a brand position that truly reflects that. Inglewood Memorial Park is uniquely Los Angeles. It is eclectic, historic, multi-cultural, inclusive, proud of its LA roots, honoring the lives of all Angelenos. That’s why the new positioning that LAads created was right on target. We truly are “The Soul of the City of Angels.”

Beyond traditional agency prerequisites, an area where they clearly excel, LA ads has become our strategic partner delivering spot-on navigation through a shifting marketing landscape. They are constantly looking to help us re-shape the box. Without our prompting, they’ve brought numerous new initiatives to us, one of which even culminated in a major front-page story in the Los Angeles Times that brought us tremendous visibility and buzz. Although we retain several other agencies focused on specific cultural demographics, LA ads continues to be Rose Hills’ lead agency responsible for defining our core brand identity. They “get” us and, without question, are one of the reasons our business continues to grow.

We brought LA ads in to help NFDA increase its brand visibility and build supplier engagement. You can immediately identify the work that LA ads creates as you’re flipping through the industry magazines. It stops you from turning the page because it’s compelling, impactful and smart. More than that, the agency has helped us on other marketing fronts as well from building out our website to running our first webinar series. As an industry supplier, I recommend LA ads to anyone who needs to stand apart with their marketing.

If you’re looking for the most creative guys in the business that understand your business and what your consumers need to know about your business, look no further. We use them because we refer them to our clients. We refer them to our clients because we use them.

Rolf and the team at LAads are some of the best in the business. They blend the creative, with industry knowledge into some of the most impactful campaigns in the profession. You’ll find no better to help market your brand.

LAads is dazzlingly skilled at marketing. They always come up with industry-first ideas which is exactly what we are looking for.
Thanks to their strategically planned marketing campaigns, Sich has been able to deliver the right messages to our audiences and gain unprecedented growth in return. We truly couldn’t have become the leading imported casket company without their thinking, creative messaging and overall guidance.
LAads is supposed to be our “in-house” marketing department, but they’re more like shareholders who care about our company much more than just getting our marketing right.

I want to thank LA ads for being a great creative resource in helping us develop marketing programs that create a unique positioning for our magazines and online newsletters. The programs and ideas that they have brought us are strategically on-point and creatively fresh. We especially love our new “Know All About It” branding message that we now take to the trade shows. There’s no cookie cutter programs from this group. They’re go-to guys in our book.

We want to extend our heartfelt thanks and appreciation to LA ads for helping us to transform our brand and marketing direction. From our first complimentary consultation with them we knew that we had found the right business partner to work with us to achieve our vision. It has been a joy to collaborate with them and we so appreciate their willingness to be honest and forthright with us when we have needed it! Throughout this process we have often used the analogy of Michelangelo carving out the David from stone, and they have well and truly been instrumental in helping us create a masterpiece that we are very proud of – more importantly one that has already delivered a real ROI. They truly have been “an agent of change” for us and we thank them for the brain trust that they have shared with our team.

I have known Rolf and Dan of LA ads for a number of years.  Our relationship initiated as I sought them out as thought leaders in the funeral and cemetery profession for their collective views about various subjects.  Over the years, I have been intertwined with LA ads not only representing businesses contracted for their services, but also working on projects within our industry.  As a marketing agency, the LAads team unequivocally has the most depth of knowledge within the death care industry and understands their clients as well as the consumer.  LA ads’ detailed client branding, messaging, and creative work pays dividends for those firms that entrust LA ads as their agency of record.

For 24 years, we have been doing our own advertising and marketing, but after deciding to do a project with LA ads, I realize we should have been working with them from the start. They’ve provided us marketing programs and messaging that have clearly positioned us in the minds of existing and prospective customers as the leaders in Insurance Assignment Funding. They continually surprise us and help us surprise our audience, making a difference in the bottom-line impact of our marketing efforts.

When I was looking for a company to work with on the Dodge branding update, I was impressed by the thoroughness of LA ads in framing the Dodge Company brand and their process of discovery to articulate our message.  Working with Dan and Rolf was a pleasant and very successful experience, and The Dodge Company has been very satisfied with the resulting product.

Since we first agreed to partner on our marketing efforts, LA ads has grasped a feel for who we are and where we want to go. They are innovative and stretch our imagination. With their guidance, we have created a focused approach to marketing with a strategic goal in mind. Not only do we stand out from the competition, our consumers comment on the advertising we have done and feel the message to be both innovative and refreshing. They have played a key role in our successes. I can assure you, should you choose to partner with LA ads and stay with it, you will not be disappointed.

We have enjoyed working with La Ads with our funeral homes and monument shop. They have given us a marketing perspective that has not been seen before in this area that draws attention to what we are doing. It’s nice to be able to give them the budget numbers and let them go to work.

As inventive and creative as the folks at LA ads are, what I appreciate most about working with them is their looking at our challenges on a strategic level. Ours is a complex business which is constantly evolving due to the shifting environment both on the funeral home side and the ways in which consumers find their funeral providers. LA ads has been flexible with our shifts and turns and continues to come up with solutions that meet our needs though both traditional and digital channels. We regard them as a significant marketing resource as well as a valued partner in our brain trust.  They truly are committed to their slogan, ‘Agent of Change.’

We’re so appreciative that Dan, Rolf and the LA ads team has been in our corner. They’ve been instrumental in helping to expand our visibility, clarify our message, and elevate the level of professionalism of our marketing efforts. It’s hard for anyone to ignore the ads they’ve created for us. At a recent major trade show, their fresh ideas and committed partnership helped create unprecedented traffic and lead generation. They’ve been responsive to our every request and brought us ideas that we never saw coming. On top of that, they’ve most willingly worked hand-in-hand with our other outside resources to maximize our financial investment. Theirs is the kind of teamwork we depend on and thank LA ads for their expert brain trust.

As the general manager of Historic Union Cemetery, one of the best moves we made was bringing in LA Ads to re-brand our cemetery, tell a new story about our property, and bring new life to its image within our community. It’s hard to imagine the contrast between what we had before compared to what our brand is today thanks to the creative team at LA Ads. Despite the challenges of location, budget and various political obstacles, the agency has managed to generate local excitement, build visitor and business traffic, establish a viable volunteer society, and kick-start a publicity program that continues to keep our cemetery visible on TV, radio and print. Without reservation, I recommend LA ads because of their energy, creativity and strategic thinking.

LA ads, specifically Rolf & Dan, were great to work with.  They took the time to listen to many individuals in our organization to get an understanding of our culture, our community, and interpret some of our needs.  They were able to offer the extra nudge we needed to see things a little differently so we would not get stuck in a rut.  Their expertise in the industry was extremely helpful and they did a great job of facilitating a few group sessions with our team.  We are excited to implement some of our findings and make some successful changes in 2020!

I had our consulting firm recommend that I speak with LAads about our branding and marketing message as we needed to continue to stay relevant and grow our business. I’m glad that I took their advice because what they created encapsulated what makes us special. We’re even having families point out how our new positioning says exactly who we are and makes us unique. If you want to stand out from your competitors, you’d be well served to work with LAads!

With our community changing and new pressures being placed on us with pricing and increased marketing visibility by com- petitors, we realized that what makes our funeral home so special needed to be better said than how we were doing it. We were referred to LAads and after they did their due diligence and market research, they presented us with a brand message that spoke to our firm’s mission and the value we provide…and we couldn’t be happier!

I reached out to LAads because I was drawn to the type of strategic thinking that went into the advertising that I saw from them. What they developed wasn’t like anything else that I saw from other marketing firms in the industry. It was fresh. It was different. And, it gets people to notice. I was thrilled how they understood our needs and developed messaging that just really worked.

It is such a pleasure working with you and your staff!  We certainly so appreciate the outstanding work you have done for us.  I truly respect not only the quality products you have provided, but also your consideration in meeting our deadlines and keeping our projects within our budget. Thank you!!

I’ve been observing the growth of LA ads and their clients over the course of many years.  So what’s to love?  I love the creativity and ingenuity that LA Ads brings to the party. They know how to disrupt and get attention in a market that’s over-cluttered with competition. In my case, LA ads listened to my expressed need and came back with unexpected, market-driven solutions that I never would have thought of. We used the agency’s wit when introducing our very successful Lenox™️ Urn to the funeral industry. That’s why I love the LA ads Team – and that’s why I offer this testimonial in writing.
