The year is 2003. “Finding Nemo” is the biggest movie of the year. “Friends” is still must-see TV. “The Da Vinci Code” is flying off bookshelves. And—drum roll—Element is born … along with our Get Real attitude and an approach that aligns marketing with sales.
Started in 2003 as a traditional ad agency, Element has since grown into a fully integrated marketing agency that continually pushes for innovation and generates creative strategies that drive meaningful results. We opened with just four Elementals, and we’re now running at full speed with a team of 45 super specialized, uber talented marketing experts.
The Element Journey: Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop
Our journey is a testament to unwavering dedication from our remarkable team, distinguished by impressive growth even amidst the unprecedented times of both the Great Recession and the COVID-19 pandemic. Through it all, we stayed strong, adapted, welcomed change (even when it was scary), and had a heck of a time along the way.
After 20 years, the key to our success boils down to collaborating with equally passionate partners to deliver outstanding work—and having a great time while we do it. Since the start, we’ve been laying the foundation to nurture and empower our team members—cultivating a dynamic culture that consistently delivers meaningful results for our clients. Period. We believe in our team because they represent the future generation of leaders. By empowering our people to be the best at their individual crafts, we can pour our heart and soul into partnerships with our clients.
Speaking of our clients, their support, dedication, and collaboration have contributed greatly to our longevity. Truly, we could not have done what we’ve done—or continue to do what we do—without amazing partners like you. You are the real MVPs.
Sarah Stieby, Fresh-Lock® Marketing Manager, long-time partner, and good friend said, “Element has been supporting the Fresh-Lock brand for 20 years. They helped me navigate the world of B2B marketing when I started my role almost 5 years ago and have been a vital extension of my team ever since.”
As for our future … it’s so bright, we need shades. Our trajectory is set on a path of continual growth and innovation. This major milestone has energized our team to continue building on our momentum—blending experience, skill, and a passion for lifelong learning to create impactful work that boosts our clients’ bottom lines.
