If a brand has lost its connection with its audience, Syndicate Sub Rosa examines why this is occurring. Once analyzed and understood, it can solve the issue and reconnect the brand with its people.

Alexei Orlov, MTM CEO, is incredibly skilled with the use of ‘applied empathy’ as a core marketing tactic. This connection very well could be what initially drew Orlov to Syndicate Sub Rosa. He acquired the branding agency in 2017 to make it an essential part of his specialist-driven brand-activating corner of the marketing world he calls MTM (Moments That Matter).

Once unearthing the breakdown of communication between a brand and its marketing message, Syndicate Sub Rosa looks at its data to create brand messaging solutions that will stay relevant, strong, and echo timelessly across the globe. In other words, while the company strives to remain culturally and contextually relevant, Syndicate Sub Rosa assists them in realizing that the most vital campaigns transcend time by focusing on the practice of evoking strong emotion instead of relying on temporary fads. Catchy advertisements work short-term, but long-term connections build a customer base that will follow a brand for life.
