There’s a unique culture living deep within your brand.every brand has capital—financial, human, intellectual and, most important,
cultural. Cultural capital can’t be logged in a spreadsheet or counted as
inventory. But it’s there and, if properly managed, can create deep, emotional
connections between customers and brands that defy competition, price
and even convenience. at Peter Mayer, we specialize in uncovering a brand’s
cultural capital and turning it into ideas that get results.
We’re here to help unleash it on the world.

Zatarain’sZatarain’s has a rich history of making New Orleans-
style food, dating back to 1889. While practically a
cultural institution in its hometown, Zatarain’s was
just another box on the shelf in supermarkets across
the country. We knew that moms were looking for
ways to make dinner more exciting, so we saw this
as an opportunity to introduce real New Orleans
dishes from Zatarain’s to everyone. By leveraging
the unique culture of the brand we were able to
present Zatarain’s as a welcome departure from
bland and boring meals, helping to grow it into a
leading national brand.

Maruccisports can be full of distractions. Contracts and
scandals and 24-hour talking heads—everything
that has nothing to do with the actual game.
But we uncovered a different culture in sports—
one where kids were doing very unkidlike things.
Waking up early. Working hard. Never taking a day
off. We turned that insight into an idea: Honor
the Game. using that as our platform, we created
a brand for Marucci that connected dedicated
athletes everywhere into a larger movement,
with Honor the Game as their rallying cry.
tapping intO the culture Of elite athletes.

louisiana tourismFor most potential visitors, their understanding
of louisiana was little more than Bourbon street
and jazz. We needed to give people reasons to
visit all of louisiana, not just New Orleans. so we
created a brand that stood for something bigger
than any one destination. louisiana became the
state of authenticity. travelers looking for
authentic, unmanufactured cultural experiences
could find them in louisiana, whether they
were in shreveport, lafayette or New Orleans.
this approach helped make louisiana one of the
country’s most successful and fastest-growing
tourism destinations.

centurylinkWhen we started working with Centurylink they
were called Centurytel, as in long distance and
dial tone. But early on we knew that, as technology
rapidly changed, Centurylink would have to
change the way it connected with people. so we
shifted the conversation to a focus on what state-
of-the-art technology allows people to do—run
a business, spend time with the kids, enjoy a date
night under the stars. With this branded approach,
we have helped Centurylink grow into a Fortune
150 company.

new Orleans saintsBefore the saints were super Bowl champs, they
weren’t necessarily known for winning. that made
filling the superdome difficult. But we knew that
New Orleanians were fiercely loyal; we just needed
to give them a reason to care beyond the outcome
of a game. through a series of campaigns, we
showed how NFl football was different in New
Orleans, helping to create a deeper connection
between the saints and their fans. Our work worked,
garnering an effie, and in 2006, we helped sell out
the Dome, a first for the franchise and a trend that
has continued ever since.

In 1967, Peter Mayer had the audacity to start an agency—in New Orleans,
of all places. But it turns out it’s the perfect place to run a marketing firm
focused on culture and creativity. Our connection to the unique culture of
our hometown is the foundation for the work we do. More than 40 years
since Peter opened the doors, we have grown into a regional and national
agency with a crew of 200 professionals—all bound by a love for brands
and the unique connections they create with customers.
Culture. It’s who we are and what we do.
