We are Schaefer Ad Co., an independent advertising agency based in Fort Worth, Texas.
We combine insight and imagination to create powerful ideas and compelling experiences that help brands connect, inspire and move audiences to take action.
At Schaefer, thinking beyond the status quo is an important part of our process. It’s allowed us to push the boundaries in our creative work and partner with a diverse portfolio of clients and brands on everything from naming to user experience.
It’s more than a motto. These are words we live by. Helping the city we call home build stronger communities is one of our biggest priorities. We take a hands-on, hyperlocal approach to create meaningful relationships with the people we work with and alongside.
Our investment in Fort Worth and the Near Southside community is a large part of what makes us who we are — neighbors and friends.
Independent is a word we’re proud to claim. As an agency, we operate with autonomy. We choose to work with clients we love on projects we’re excited to be part of without the influence of outside investors. But that doesn’t mean we do it all alone.
Our core values create the environment for our culture to thrive.
At Schaefer, authenticity goes beyond simply being true to oneself. It’s about becoming the best version of yourself as part of a bigger mission. It involves conscious self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and open communication.
Fueled by purpose and unwavering commitment, we are deliberate in our pursuit, we adapt and persevere through challenges while relentlessly pursuing Schaefer’s goals.
Foster an environment where open communication thrives, learnings are actively shared, inspiring collaborative exploration offering guidance and support to others. Trust and respect is foundational to healthy collaboration.
Curiosity fuels our quest for better. We don’t avoid the unknown. We adapt and embrace challenges while pushing to define boundaries. Daily, we pursue progress to prepare ourselves for tomorrow.
While extensive knowledge and technical skills are crucial, being an expert at Schaefer is not a destination. The pursuit of expertise is a life-long journey.
Expect and presume the best in everyone. And when we fall short, because we all will, abundantly extend grace – to yourself and others.
Purpose is at the core of everything we do. It’s the reason we dig deep when learning about your customer, business, and brand. It’s also the lens from which we identify opportunities to make life better for the brands we work with and the people they serve. That said, we strive daily to be better partners to our clients and partners, and a better home-away-from-home for our employees.
