About Fresh inc.
Back in 2004 partners Jennifer McKinney and Aleece Laird saw this huge disconnect in advertising in marketing in their local region. So after a bottle(s) of wine and some incredible cheers from people who believed in our talents, Fresh Inc. became a reality.
It has been the full on ever since and we have been providing our clients with strategic solutions and a common sense approach in all facets of marketing. Building the right team of talented graphic artists, exceptional web designers and clever marketing executives has been the success of Fresh.
Fresh Inc. is not a niche marketing agency, rather an agency that likes to be challenged by the diversity of different industries our clients are a part of and their individual desires to be unique. This keeps our team of "Freshies" engaged, creative, and always thinking of ways we can make our clients stand out from the rest.
Call us! We know you'll find us fun, smart (a bit unorthodox) and most importantly … fresh.
