State of Advertising

The world of Internet marketing and advertising is redefined every time you refresh your browser. Every minute of every day.

Three things are certain: Your consumers are tired of being sold, they like being entertained, and they will instantly sniff out a fraud.

Bag of Hammers finds authentic individuals in real moments and connects them to your brand and your products.

For every job there is a hammer.

Some jobs require a twenty pound sledge.

Some jobs require Swiss engineered, laser guided, robotic hammers.

We are Bag Of Hammers.

Bag Of Hammers creates advertising from authenticity.

We work with brand managers, marketers, and agencies to digest core brand attributes. We find real characters, tell their stories, and connect them to your brand. We make video content that entertains your core customers and that they will share.

We are strategic, creative, and client service all in one.
