A few hours into the new year, I found myself reflecting on a single word that I knew would guide The Syndicate Agency’s actions in 2025: Intrinsic. A concept that doesn’t just inspire but drives every facet of how we approach our work and relationships.
I chose it in the waning hours of the workday on New Year’s Eve, moments after wrapping the day with our dream team of creatives and strategists reflecting on the whirlwind of the past several months and toasting the excitement of new challenges and a new year. I let that word percolate for a couple of hours as I tied up most of what I had hoped to accomplish before turning off the office lights for the last time in a year stuffed full of changes and growth. As the word settled in my mind, it became clear how deeply it aligns with our approach at The Syndicate Agency, rooted in authenticity, connection, and purpose.
Stopping to visit a client on the way home, it kept rolling through the folds of my mind as I took in the beauty of the evening and the midtown holiday lights. The laughter of families and friends, the clinking of glasses, and the hum of energetic conversations painted a picture of connection and celebration, a perfect backdrop to my thoughts about meaningful, essential experiences. Intending to do the same on this New Year’s Eve, I stopped to pick up a bottle of wine, looking forward to settling in and reflecting with my wife on the whirlwind of 2024. Eager to find a favorite, I was drawn to a stunning bottle I had not seen before.
I bought the wine. You could say it resonated with me.
I couldn’t wait to share it with her as the new year approached. My wife has been standing tall and digging in with me, arm in arm throughout this journey. She was the first person to look me in the eye back in March of this year and assure me that I could catch lightning, and we haven’t looked back… until tonight.
On this New Year’s Eve, we reflected through tears of gratitude on the past several months and the obstacles that were overcome with the support of a tribe of business leaders, colleagues, and most of all, our phenomenal Clients. A network of extraordinary people who are intrinsically motivated to build others.
But what does intrinsic mean? How does it shape effective marketing, leadership, and strategy? More importantly, how can this intentional mindset create meaningful value for the Clients of The Syndicate Agency?
