“As a well-established brand, More Rewards sought to refresh our brand presence on social media without losing existing brand equity. The talented team at SMC introduced a new social media and PR strategy that speaks to the drivers of value for More Rewards cardholders, connecting content with shoppers' (almost) daily experiences with More Rewards brands. With SMC we were able to further elevate our digital brand position. We truly appreciate their dedication to the details — it doesn’t hurt that they treat us like we’re their only client!”

“The most remarkable thing about the team at SMC is that they really listen. They 'GET' us, and they get our brand, our language, and our philosophy.

“As a well-established brand, last summer More Rewards sought to refresh our brand presence on social media without losing the existing brand equity we've built thus far. The talented team at SMC Communications introduced a new social media and PR strategy that speaks to the drivers of value for More Rewards cardholders and points collectors, connecting content with shoppers' (almost) daily experiences with More Rewards brands.

“With SMC we were able to further elevate our digital brand position. We truly appreciate their dedication to the details. (It doesn’t hurt that the SMC account team treats our Marketing Team like we’re their one and only client either!)”
