About Us

What makes us different

FYMC was built with the certainty of conviction that creativity is necessary in every single aspect of the business paradigm.

“If it doesn’t sell, it isn’t creative.” David Ogilvy.

That is true in any process intended to gain strategic insights into all those across the intellectual and emotional divides. Equally true and necessary for those of us who happily toil at influencing, no, provoking thoughts and actions in others. It matters not if creating needs, making calls to action, climbing empirical or perceived Sagarmathas, resolving intellectual Rubik’s cubes, selling ice in the Arctic, in the dead of winter.

First and foremost, we are a creative marketing, advertising and corporate governance powerhouse. Everything we address for our clients is framed in a creative process. Our processes are designed to deliver powerful, finely tuned thought and action provoking messages to select audiences through strategic digital, terrestrial and esoteric advertising placements.

Mediocrity reflects a lack of courage and conviction. Ordinary is very easy to achieve. We built an agency from the ground up, both organically and empirically, to leverage our extensive experience and competencies to create unique ideas and processes for our clients. There will never be anything ordinary about our approach to clients, issues, opportunities, crises, celebrations.

Our identity

Our longevity and broad competencies speak to what we do for our clients.

We are often our clients’ first and last contact about their opportunities, challenges and sometimes their dreams.

About Us

All that we do accrues to thoughtful, intelligent, predictable and sustainable revenue and equity generating events and solutions for our clients.

We are adamant about delivering unique advantages in the marketplace for our clients.

Duncan C. Crookston

Chief Operating Officer

Duncan is Chief Operating Officer and member of the FYMC team since June 2002. No. He is not just beach-boot-camp, hockey and volleyball player, skier, runner, quality gym iron-man. He also pushes the buttons to manage and facilitate all operational aspects of the offers FYMC promotes, including logistics from campaign conception to completion. He also participates in the creative process as well as providing desktop support to the staff.

Duncan is a seasoned veteran in the online world, with experience that spans the entire spectrum of online advertising. His exceptional knowledge of the online direct marketing arena comes from his years as email list manager and marketer for a number of well know online and bricks and mortar companies.

In his spare time, and the company makes a half-hearted effort to create spare time for him, Duncan “relaxes” by coaching and playing in an adult hockey league, playing beach volleyball and finding increasingly more challenging ways to positively abuse his body. Much of the time in Manhattan Beach, California.

Her experience and expertise are aggregated from working in multiple areas for various direct response enterprises, including: media management and brokerage, large database builders and marketers and media buying agencies. Her start was in finance, with primary focus on reconciling media spends and budgets. No need to ask around if this terrific human resource is in the office yet. The gazillion horsepower beast she drives announces her arrival from blocks away. Unless she is on the back of the family Harley, with her husband passing everybody in sight. And yet, we let her make deals for us....
