Integrated Marketing isn’t just in our name, it’s in our blood.

Our focus on integration is as apparent in our team structure as it is in the solutions we recommend.

About Us

Because the user experience is at the heart of everything we do, our first job is to define your target audience.

Around that core, we assemble a team of experts to manage each project, driving integration from the ground up — across all disciplines and across all media.

Get integrated. Get Associated.

Please don’t call us a design agency, interactive agency or new media agency. We’re more than any of those labels imply. At Associated, we believe in true integration, extending your messaging across all relevant media to connect with your audience when and where they are. Sometimes that means digital, sometimes traditional. But most often, it’s a combination of digital, social, traditional, nontraditional and point-of-sale that helps build the associations you need. Yet, because we’re media neutral, we don’t start with that framework in mind. Instead, we let your audience tell us when and where they’re most open to getting associated with your brand, and react accordingly.

This level of participation in one of our retail promotions is great news. You brought us a highly customizable concept that really resonated with our customers. Let’s continue to build on this success into next year.”
