Tim Riester on Building a Bold Adaptive Advertising Agency
At Riester, we believe that great advertising is about creativity and understanding people. In a conversation with the Phoenix Business Journal, our CEO, Tim Riester, shared how he’s built an agency that thrives by helping clients brilliantly and uniquely stand out within their industries.
From day one, Tim was relentless in solving problems for clients. We don’t just create ads; we aim to imagine ideas that stand the test of time. That commitment has helped us shape brand identities and build lasting relationships between businesses and their customers.
Although Riester has expanded geographically through acquisitions over the years, most of the Firm’s growth has come from building and growing our clients’ businesses. The diversity of Riester’s clients’ industries and our ability to adapt to changing market conditions and trends have also contributed significantly to our consistent success over three and a half decades. Whether it’s shifting consumer behaviors, economic challenges, or even a global pandemic, we embrace change head-on, ensuring our team and our clients stay ahead of the curve.
One of the biggest mistakes seen in marketing? The unwillingness to take risks. The safest approaches in marketing are almost always invisible and unremarkable. That’s why Riester focuses on creativity and encourages our clients to be highly creative, because we know that creative advertising delivers 4x greater profits.
