Client Spotlight: Starkey Hearing Technologies

"Hear better. Live better."

Did you know that 1 in 5 Americans experience hearing loss?
It’s a real and significant problem impacting the lives of millions of people worldwide. Unfortunately, it’s a problem often overlooked and unfairly stigmatized.

Starkey Hearing Technologies is here to help overcome this problem. They understand that hearing technology can empower people to have a better quality of life. They’ve become the global leader in manufacturing and delivering advanced hearing solutions because they’re not just in the hearing aid business: they’re in the business of changing lives.

This greater purpose has led to fantastic growth for the company - in 50 years they’ve become a global leader in technology and innovation, and that growth continues, while still being privately owned and operated out of Eden Prairie, Minnesota.

Starkey is also working to destigmatize the general public’s perception of a “hearing aid.” It’s far more than what you may have seen saw an older relative wear thirty or forty years ago - the technology has become incredibly advanced. Starkey offers all kinds of options like: in ear, invisible, outer ear aids. Many of their hearing products are discreet and comfortable and offer fantastic results for the user.

Creatis & Starkey

All of this innovation and growth has created a need for more marketing help. In 2017, our president and staffing team met with Dawn Hepper, Director of Retail Marketing at Starkey. Dawn needed help extra arms and legs supporting Starkey’s extensive marketing network by helping to manage complex projects and accounts.

Through that initial meeting, we quickly identified that Dawn was in need of staffing assistance - Creatis employees who could fully integrate on Dawn’s team - and we got to work sourcing the perfect candidates for Dawn’s team on a tight turnaround.

This is our bread and butter. Our staffing team is great at finding employees who not only have the skills and experience to make an immediate difference on a client’s team, but who are also great cultural fits - in the case of Starkey, we needed collaborative, hands-on learners who could ramp up very quickly. We found two perfect employees for Dawn, and the professional relationship has been blossoming ever since.

Through our employees' success with Dawn’s team, we were able to support another Starkey team with marketing project management and brand/creative marketing help. The great part about our relationship is that whenever Starkey needs more help, we're ready for it. 

We look forward to providing more support to Starkey in the months and years to come!
