There is nothing wrong with highly creative promotional materials as long as the concept, message and design spring from your company’s mission, vision, and goals. But your advertising shouldn’t be “clever” or “slick” just for the sake of grabbing attention. Let your corporate identity be true to your corporate culture. How your current customers respond to your marketing image can be a reasonable gauge for how prospects will see you, too.
