The firm sells retainer and project-based agency engagements to enterprise and mid-market clients, with services executed and measured through its proprietary Maximus Marketing Intelligence Platform and the recently acquired AdSkate AI creative analytics technology.

The company operates a platform-plus-services model centered around its AI-powered Maximus Marketing Intelligence Platform, which combines creative analytics, predictive performance modeling, audience insights, and campaign optimization.

Brunner's service portfolio spans seven practice areas: Media (SEM, Paid Social, OTT/CTV, Programmatic Display, Retail Media, SEO, Broadcast, Trade Media), Strategy (Brand Strategy, Multicultural Marketing, Integrated Marketing Planning), Business Intelligence (Media Mix Modeling, Market Research, Data Management, Brand Awareness), Creative (Concepting, Design, Video Production), Communications (PR, Influencer Marketing, Social Media, Event Marketing), Content Marketing (Strategy, Production), and CRM/Web (Marketing Automation, Email, Web Development, UX Design, AR Development). The agency serves enterprise clients across B2B, healthcare, consumer health, and building/renovation sectors from offices in Pittsburgh and Atlanta.
