Our clients aren’t just part of the project—they are the project. Every initiative begins by understanding their market, voice, and growth goals. At Rivet|MRO, we design every campaign and strategy to advance what matters most to the independent distributor.
In industrial spaces, cutting corners can have serious consequences. We carry that mindset into our marketing work—holding ourselves to the highest standards of honesty, accountability, and follow-through. Doing what’s right is never optional—it’s foundational.
When a line goes down or a crew’s waiting for parts, delays aren’t just inconvenient—they’re costly. We respect our clients’ time in the same way. Prompt communication isn’t just courteous; it’s strategic. We aim to answer all inquiries within one business day, and usually much faster.
Anyone can “get the job done.”We aim to exceed expectations. Whether it’s how we communicate, how we bust through brick walls to meet deadlines, or how we optimize co-op claims behind the scenes—legendary service is about small things done with excellence and consistency.
Our clients work in no-nonsense industries—but they’re still people. That’s why every email, phone call, or site visit is an opportunity to bring positive energy. We believe professionalism and warmth are not opposites—they’re partners.
An unfinished job is a broken promise. Whether we’re finalizing a catalog, submitting a co-op packet, or prepping a campaign for launch—quality control and polish are always part of the plan. At Rivet, good is the enemy of great.
Great marketing requires empathy. We work hard to understand the world of our clients—from supplier relationships and stocking issues to margin pressure and market shifts. Knowing what keeps them up at night helps us build tools that move the needle.
Success doesn’t happen by accident—it’s the result of preparation and intentionality. Whether it’s a creative brainstorm, a sales strategy meeting, or a new product launch, we come equipped with data, insights, and clear deliverables to help move the work forward.
Just like voltage needs proper grounding, great work needs clarity. We define scope, timelines, roles, and desired outcomes up front. This prevents confusion, avoids rework, and ensures that everyone on the job is reading from the same set of plans.
From warehouse associates to CEOs, every stakeholder deserves to be treated with dignity and consideration. We engage with humility, gratitude, and professionalism—because that’s what partnership looks like.
No foundation is built alone.We rely on cross-functional collaboration—strategy, creative, analytics, production—all working together like a seasoned job site crew. We share credit, lend support, and recognize that our success depends on everyone doing their part.
Deadlines in our world are just as real as they are on the jobsite. When we promise delivery, we mean it. Respecting timelines shows respect for our clients’ businesses—and reinforces our reliability.
We aim to be the first call.When clients think ‘marketing,’ they should think Rivet. That trust is earned through responsiveness, honest communication, and results—not fluff.
When a project hits a snag, we don’t point fingers—wegrab a wrench. Owning the outcome means taking initiative, solving problems, and following through, no matter whose name is on the ticket.
Transparency isn’t optional.Whether it’s timelines, budgets, or campaign performance, we lay out the plans clearly, so clients and teammates always know where things stand.
Anticipating challenges is part of the job. Whether it’s a product launch, a trade show, or co-op cycle—we think ahead so our clients don’t have to scramble.
Ideas don’t move product—execution does. We take pride in being doers, not just thinkers. Strategy is critical, but getting the work out the door—on time and on target—is what drives growth.
Wins deserve to be celebrated. Whether it’s a successful rebrand, a co-op win, or a campaign that drives leads—we take time to recognize the achievement and the team work that made the win possible.
Every meeting, every call, every campaign—we aim to bring something useful. Anew idea. A sharper angle.A performance insight. We never show up empty-handed.
Problems happen. When they do, we focus on the fix—not the fault. Our mindset is continuous improvement, not finger-pointing.
The best craftspeople are always learning. We stays harp by understanding the latest marketing trends, distributor challenges, and co-op developments—so we can offer more relevant, effective solutions.
Confidence is key—but humility is powerful. We’re not here to show off; we’re here to help our clients succeed. That means listening, learning, and putting the work ahead of our pride.
We seek first to understand. That means slowing down,asking questions, and giving others space to share what they know—because the best ideas don’t always come from the loudest voices.
Integrity is foundational. We don’t sugarcoat, dodge, or spin. We say what’s true—and we say it clearly.
In fast-paced work, miscommunication is inevitable. Instead of reacting with frustration, we give our team and clients the benefit of the doubt—because trust makes everything move faster.
Don’t fake it. If something is outside your expertise, bring in the right teammate or partner to get it right. Accuracy matters more than ego.
Don’t make people guess. Whether it’s an email, deliverable, or strategy—be specific and thorough. Clearcommunication reduces rework and builds confidence.
We succeed as a team. That means checking in, offering help, sharing credit, and covering for each other when needed. Nobody goes it alone.
No two clients—or days—aret he same. Being flexible, resourceful, and open to new approaches keeps us sharp and effective.
Everything we touch—from our email signature to a conference booth—represents the Rivet brand.We take pride in showing up polished, professional, and aligned with who we say we are.
Pace matters. We promote sustainable effort, healthy boundaries, and time to recharge—so we stay energized for our clients and each other.
We take the work seriously—but not ourselves. Humor, humility, and humanity make us a better team, and make the work more enjoyable. Simply put, work hard; have fun!
We believe in contributing beyond the deliverable.Whether it’s mentoring, participating in trade groups, or supporting client events—we’re part of a larger ecosystem, and we give it our best.
