Design Agency Turned Top Global Branding Agency

Founded as a Boutique Design Agency in 2006

While our agency has matured over the years, we were founded as a boutique design agency in 2006 in California. Our roots in the music industry supporting artists like John Mayer, Tim McGraw, and Beyonce lead the way for high end graphic productions for tour artwork and designs, merchandise, and album artwork.

Outside the music industry, MAGNETIC supported a variety of national and global brands such as VIZIO, DirecTV, LifeProof and Thermo Fischer by designing campaign artwork, packaging designs, event collateral and point of purchase displays. The high polish graphic design from our team could be seen in major retail outlets like Costco and Target as well as in the medical industry and throughout most major arenas.

Expanding Agency Services to Digital and Web Design

The commercial explosion of the world wide web and eCommerce quickly led to an expansion of services within MAGNETIC. Existing and nearly all future client requests would include some digital touchpoint. Our design services continued to cover web design, digital media design, interactive and experiential design.

By 2008 our team was Agency of Record for multiple multinational brands and growing rapidly. Our design services continued to evolve to include web development and interactive development. Our digital design services also evolved to include digital media and digital marketing which meant our designs were now responsible for ROI.

Where our original design services were meant to turn heads and create visual interest while communicating product and service details, our digital artwork was immediately tied to actionable digital metrics.

Complementing our Design Agency with Brand Strategy as a Core Service Offering

Being held responsible for key business metrics as part of a digital shift in our agency services, we quickly realized that the service requests coming into our agency weren't always built on a solid foundation. The results of our design, development, and marketing services were only as good as the brand strategy which requested them.

Recognizing this as a repetitive issue, we pivoted quickly to add brand strategy to our agency offering. When our team became involved and influential in the brand strategy before producing design and marketing services, the return for our clients outperformed anything we'd done in the past.

"We are honored for our agency to be acknowledged for our branding and design skills. This is especially notable since we operate in such a competitive global market."

We've continued to evolve our offering over the years since our early start as a design agency. Fast forward to today and our agency is comprised of multiple offices spanning multiple continents.

MAGNETIC has been recognized by local and global agency reviews, industry award outlets, and publications. While our teams thrive most on driving results for our broad portfolio of clients, these accolades stand to qualify our efforts through peer and community insights and continually keep us stoked.
