Connections Through Content
Through story-led, two-way content, ION helps brands CONNECT MEANINGFULLY with the hearts and minds of their audience, creating a lasting bond between brand and consumer.

By infusing appropriate and relevant technology, we AMPLIFY and enhance the content, providing consumers with a platform to SHARE it all.
Our Services
Marketing in the real world. Mobile tours, events/street teams, pop-up stores, sampling, hospitality events, PR stunts, product launches, and more.
Sales is not a bad word. Consumer and trade promotions, including incentives, sweepstakes, and contests.
Pick your partner wisely. Strategic alignments with affinity-based properties, CSR partners, B2B partners, etc. to allow for engagement with a particular audience.
Speak with authenticity and cultural competence. By connecting brands to a cause or a community, marketing can change the world.
Think differently. Creative concepting, development and production across disciplines, including video, print, digital, social, and out-of-home.
Have a big story, or need one? Storytelling and video production for all platforms, including everything from long-form docu-style videos to short Instagram stories.
Engage with consumers on platforms and with technologies that are integral parts of their lives. Digital and mobile tech can enhance IRL activations or exist as stand-alone consumer engagements.
Meet consumers where they spend time, give them the opportunity to use their voice, and amplify your message by partnering with influencers who are authentically aligned with your brand.
With the help of our research partner Bovitz, Inc., and their proprietary consumer panel Forthright, our marketing programs are rooted in data-driven insights and appropriately measured for effectiveness.
