Marketing for Emeryville's Entertainment & Animation Economy
We build growth engines for Emeryville businesses. Whether you serve Entertainment & Animation and Biotech & Life Sciences, or the broader local market, we understand Emeryville's unique economy and what it takes to grow here.
The Context
Beyond entertainment & animation
A small but extraordinarily dense commercial city of 12,000 residents with an outsized economic footprint. Home to Pixar Animation Studios, Clif Bar, Peet's Coffee headquarters, and a major Amtrak station. The Bay Street Shopping Center and Powell Street Plaza anchor retail. Biotech corridor along Shellmound.
Emeryville's unique mix of Pixar employees, biotech researchers, and transit commuters creates a dense, high-income daytime population that dwarfs the resident population. Lunch spots, gyms, dry cleaners, and professional services that optimize for Pixar-campus and biotech-campus adjacency capture enormous weekday revenue.
We provide the digital infrastructure to meet these challenges — from Local SEO that puts you in front of customers searching in Emeryville, to high-performance websites that convert visitors into revenue, to paid ads and automation systems that scale your growth without scaling headcount.
