In the spirit of "The New Rules of Marketing and PR," by David Meerman Scott I have decided to start this blog. My name is Steven Paul Matsumoto, and I am the owner of Azimuth Branding in Bellevue, Washington.
Azimuth is a boutique-advertising agency that acts as your small business’s marketing department so you don’t have too. Our diverse group of professionals are skilled in the disciplines of photography, graphic design, copy writing, public relations, marketing communication, media buying, ad design, social media, viral marketing strategies, strategic planning, branding strategies, promotional marketing and more. We offer our clients an objective, unbiased point-of-view on the best means to promote their business in order to meet their goals and required return on investment.
Why hire a staff when you can hire Azimuth!
But enough self-promotion. Let's just get to know each other this go around, that is after all the key to relationship building isn't it. Business has been in my blood since Junior High School where I knew that I wanted to own my own company. It's been a long road, but I have finally found a business that I love in advertising and marketing. I get to live my dream by helping others attain theirs.
I joined the Marine Corps right out of high school, that was another dream full filled, and I served eight wonderful years. The Marines taught me that just when you think you've given all you have to give you push through it and give more. I learned to quickly evaluate a situation and make a quick decisive decision about what action to take. I also learned that learning never stops, you must continually educate yourself on your chosen craft if you are to advance in any way.
While still serving in the reserves I graduated from Seattle University's Albers School of Business and Economics. It was and is a wonderful school and my one wish is that my business will bring me enough success to start a scholarship for future students of the school. I hope to go back someday and get my MBA and JD as well.
I am very active with the Columbia Tower Club, serving on several committees and helping find donors for several charities. It's also the best corner office in town on those occassions I find myself needing to meet a client downtown. Plus the sunsets are amazing from the lounge and looking out over the city at night is awe inspiring.
Some of my passions aside from advertising and marketing are; cooking, wine, reading, philosophy and someday I'll start SCUBA diving again.
Well I think I've rambled on long enough this go around. I look forward to sharing my observations with you into the future.
Cheers!
