Marketing to rise above. What makes one brand rise above the rest? For a consumer-technology startup with one flagship product, an acquisition by Logitech. For a biotech company with no logo, no website and no accounts, an acquisition by R-Zero in a little over a year. For a stand-up paddleboard maker on Maui, a global brand, acquired by BIC Sport. We have spent fifteen years answering that question, one brand at a time. i9media is a founder-led marketing agency, born in San Diego and rooted in Southern California's surf and lifestyle culture. The roots are local; the reach is not. Our partners and projects include Litra, Lumenlabs, SIC Maui, CARVE Eyewear, Surftech, BIC Sport, Red Bull, T-Mobile and Budweiser. The name carries the intent. The "i" and the "media" stand for interactive media. The "9" is cloud nine: the cumulonimbus, the cloud that rises above all others. Breadth is the advantage. Our work spans consumer technology, biotech and biosafety, software, manufacturing, automotive, aviation, eyewear and accessories, action sports and lifestyle, hospitality, food and agriculture, and charities. Our partners sell direct to consumer, through wholesale and retail, and business to business, and they come to us at every stage: startups finding their first market, growth brands taking share, legacy businesses renewing what made them. The work starts before the work. Every engagement begins with a competitive analysis of your market and your marketing, and a map of your customer's journey, from the first introduction to advocacy. Every asset is made to inspire, inform and intrigue, and to leave the audience inquisitive enough to take the next step. Then we build, activate and optimize, and iterate until it is right. Branding and performance marketing. Websites and e-commerce. Media production. From discovery to results, measured from where we started. What would rising above look like for your brand? i9media.com
