Wheatley & Timmons

  Wheatley & Timmons (WT) is a Chicago based full-service marketing communications resource that focuses on growing brands and businesses in the consumer products world. They specialize in strategic public relations, promotion and consumer education services and marketing/new product planning all designed to bring their clients results.

What makes WT different?
A fusion between marketing and communications services and expertise - the founders Bob Wheatley and Rich Timmons have a combined 50+ years in the marketing/communication services industries, and a business model that does not focus on ‘billable’ hours. When establishing WT, Wheatley and Timmons knew that the traditional hourly billing business model was not conducive to building or maintaining relationships, so they decided to focus on building and maintaining client relationships by going with a bill-by-project approach. From this structure all clients get the benefit of specialized teams in service areas dedicated to their needs, with hands-on involvement from senior management and a clear mission focus centered solely on getting results.

What WT believes in...
Utilizing a strategic approach to every client's business by first gaining a complete understanding of the dynamics and characteristics of their markets and target audiences. Hiring only the most qualified senior level talent, and a near religious devotion to delivering results that build client revenue.

What WT is best at
Launching new products, crisis communications, consumer education, corporate branding, reputation management, strategic research and channel management.

The WT business model, expertise and talented team have brought them success and a list of prestigious clients such as Hoover, Sears and Friskies, and current projects with First Alert, Sunbeam, and Barton Beer-Corona Extra.
