Our name, //NKST, is pronounced “Next.”
That’s important to our clients and to us, because we see the future as a continuous barrage of unexpected complications, challenges and opportunities. An unsure environment that successful businesses and brands need to rise above.
Here’s how a simple idea for a new type of agency has evolved into a small team that makes sure our clients are ready to take-on what the future throws at them.
By deconstructing the agency and consulting models to create a unified Business to Brand to Customer agency, //NKST (next) is now on the verge of something BIG.
Where strategic consultancy meets agency.
In 2020, our Founder, Doug Longenecker started the company with three core values: 1.) Never be afraid to fail 2.) Always show up with a definite point of view and, 3.) You can’t get there by yourself.
The result is a new working dynamic that gives clients direct access to collaborate and engage with high-performance, battle-tested professionals. All working together to originate, implement and sustain strategies for value creation, differentiation and growth.
In the last four years, the original team has grown and our client roster has expanded. Proof positive that we are successfully redefining small in a BIG way
Your NEXT strategic, creative and competitive advantage is //NKST.
It is now possible to work with the type of hybrid agency you’ve always believed should exist. Unlike BIG marketing communication agencies and BIG consulting firms, we get more done with fewer layers, in less time, producing better results.
How do we do that?
For starters, we are built from scratch for the flexibility, speed and proactivity that is required for businesses and brands to move forward.
We bring together the expertise and experience of both thinkers and doers:
A team of executive-level marketers, Fortune 500 business consultants, brand strategists, PR experts, data scientists, content creators, CX/EX specialists, technologists and entrepreneurs.
This way, we ensure your business and brand are not thought about in isolation. It’s our unique inside-out / outside-in POV that is the cornerstone to our 360-degree approach.
Now is the time to get unstuck and level-up.
When the future is coming at you faster and forever, this is not the time to freeze-up and play it safe.
This is the time to forge ahead with originality so that...
// Businesses and brands become connected at the hip.
// Marketing and communications drive relevance, awareness and capture the
imagination of the people you need to reach.
// Customer’s and employee’s experiences exceed expectations as a new standard, not a happy accident.
Who’s going to help you do that and see it all the way through? The BIG agencies and the BIG consultancies that continue to become even bigger behemoths? Good luck.
This is where we come in. We’re not too BIG to fail. We’re small. In fact, just small enough…
Small enough to be nimble, to listen, for senior talent to show up to even the small meetings, to work collaboratively, to be integrated, to appreciate the nuances that differentiate, to be cooperative, to be attentive and actually care, to help you change perceptions, break barriers, move markets, and advance new paradigms.
And, if we’re being completely honest, we’re small enough to successfully redefine small in a BIG way. We do it every day.
Ready to work with a SMALL and savvy partner who can help you make a BIG impact?
If so, you're definitely ready for what's next, er, um...what's //NKST. Where the next big thing is SMALL!
