Our philosophy

At Dix & Eaton, our team of marketing, communications, risk and reputation management experts help organizations grow their business and protect enterprise value.

Building on our 70-plus year legacy, in November 2023, Dix & Eaton acquired St. Louis-based Standing Partnership, forming one of the country’s largest employee-owned marketing communications and business strategy firms. Through the combination of our two organizations, we bring a wide range and depth of experience, capabilities, outcome-based solutions and insights to our clients.

GROW & PROTECT FRAMEWORK

Our clients are operating every day in a world where opportunity and risk co-exist.

Dix & Eaton’s Grow & Protect framework enables organizations to scale their businesses smartly and efficiently while safeguarding trust, reputation and long-term value, even in moments of change and challenge.

Our Grow platform (under the Standing Partnership brand) offers insight-led marketing, strategic alliance activation, and partner marketing and strategy to accelerate growth. For more information on our Grow offerings, visit the Standing Partnership website.

Our Protect platform (under the Dix & Eaton brand) provides real-time anticipation, engagement and mitigation strategies to manage risk and reputation. For more information on our Protect offerings, visit our Protect webpage.

Powered by AI and BI (artificial intelligence and business intelligence) tools and processes, advanced analytics and deep human expertise, we turn insight into action and scale solutions that address some of our clients’ biggest challenges and opportunities.
