Harvest Excitement is a campaign website for Proactive Imaginations for Hire. We are educated marketers with expertise in graphic communications, copywriting, media strategy, and creating word-of-mouth. We left our 'ad agency' jobs almost 10 years ago to offer high level marketing support, with an approachable, comfortable style. Our clients have agreed with our approach, and we think you will to. Check out our F.A.Q list to find out more.

F.A.Q.
What makes Proactive Imaginations different from other firms out there?
Our unique craft, and our comfortable approach. Carving out messages that attract families and turn them into brand champions is what we do best. Our eye-catching designs and well-thought out messages, will work in concert with your on-site experience to attract more customers and encourage them to tell the world to follow. We are about inspiring emotions, calling to action, and enhancing your brand, with each and every marketing tool we touch. However, we are not about fancy cars, stiletto heels and large egos. We left the ad agency world for more comfortable digs, working from our home office, just steps away from our barn, our forest and our inspiration.

Why should we consider hiring you to help with our marketing?
Because this job is essential, and you have better things to do. We will get it done, make it look like a million bucks, and your attraction will grow right alongside your confidence in the brand. Getting your communications done right, all the time, will not only bring your more customers- it will bring you more peace of mind. Having an ear to bend, a brainstorm to inspire you and a team of Proactive Imaginations solving your marketing conundrums will be the single most important enhancement you make this year.

What if I've never worked with a communications firm before?
Welcome! We've helped many brands grow from a nugget in someone's brain, to a successful profitable business. We've also helped adapt and strengthen brands that already have quite a bit of history, without a lot of direction. We are not on any high horses around here, so, saddle up and lets get to work!

What is your approach to the work?
Our relaxed way and centered approach to life make it very easy to talk shop around us. We love understanding your days, your goals and your challenges. We want you to understand the marketing just as well. We can't stand B.S, and will always filter for you, presenting you simply with facts and solutions. We'll take the time to make sure the ideas are just as much yours as they are ours. We're straight to the point, agile in our day to day requirements and efficient with your time. You'll be surprised how easy it will feel.

How many Proactive Imaginations are there?
This is a family company, headed by papa bear, Richard MacArthur and mama bear Jo MacArthur. With over a decade of experience in the advertising and marketing world, this dynamic duo complement each other's skills and backgrounds to a perfectly well-rounded cocktail. They also know and mingle with several other Proactive Imaginations that are called in on a project per project basis when a certain set of skills are needed. Deliberately though, this firm is not large, and will never aspire to be large. A small, quick and agile team has allowed us to stay on top of the latest information, adapt our skills and offerings with changing needs and deliver high-level work, in a more efficient, timely and effective manner. Both principals have their own receptionist-free lines, mobile e-mails and make themselves available around the clock. This work is based in passion for the objectives, not punching a time clock.

What are you doing in social media?
Personally, not a lot. We've got to be honest, we do not live there in our personal lives. However, we understand it inside and out, and are doing more management work in this arena for our client base. In theory we love it, and in practice we believe you must market there as well as other avenues. We can keep you current and in tune- but we do live in this real world- and are happy to consider Social Media as ONE of the options in today's tumultuous media climate.
