Schafer Condon Carter Announces Launch of SCC|prism

CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwired - Jun 20, 2017) - Independent Chicago creative and technology agency Schafer Condon Carter (SCC) today unveiled SCC|prism, the branding of its newly-merged Public Relations, Influencer marketing and Social Media practices. SCC|prism leverages the value of earned-media across traditional analog and digital media outlets, high-reach influencers and social media platforms, which are continuing to converge.

"As the media landscape continues to shift, traditional approaches towards earned media and third-party endorsement for brands are becoming obsolete," said SCC Founder and CEO Tim Condon. "Media platforms influence the social space, social content is picked up by media -- and influencers are active across platforms. The SCC|prism model leverages the power of inter-platform brand engagement, driving KPI's across the earned media continuum. The 1+1+1 = 5 approach of SCC|prism is delivering incredible results."

SCC managing partner Mike Grossman is heading up the unit with Lauren Sanborn, Director of Social Media; Laura Colar and Paige Robinson, Associate Directors, PR and Influencer Strategy, rounding out the management team. "Today, media lines have become blurred to nonexistent. A stand-alone PR, influencer or social media strategy has the potential to leave a lot of brand value on the table. Each of these practice areas work together -- and feed off one another. You need to develop a combined strategy that creates scale and takes advantage of that," said Grossman.

SCC|prism has already received best-in-class recognition in PR and social media. In 2015, it took a PRSA Silver Anvil in corporate reputation for iconic men's fashion brand, Allen Edmonds. This year, it took home WOMMY Gold for its integrated PR/Influencer/Social efforts for Seven Daughters Wines. SCC|prism's work for the Allen Edmonds brand is credited with repositioning it for six consecutive years of record sales growth.

The WOMMY-winning effort for Seven Daughters Wines, Making a Splash with Millennial Wine Drinkers, successfully integrated online and offline word of mouth to drive a 25% increase in sales. The group has also twice earned Silver Trumpet awards from the Publicity Club of Chicago (one for the Chicago Cubs, one for Seven Daughters wine).

The SCC|prism client roster includes Allen Edmonds, Eastman Chemical, Ideal Industries (corporate and multiple brands) Procter & Gamble's New Chapter vitamins and supplements, Potbelly Sandwich Shop, Solo Cup, Southern Comfort, and Terlato Wines (corporate and multiple brands).
