Our story is simple: We love to help brands grow. And we enjoy a little time in the ocean on the side.

10 Yearsand Counting

Album is an eclectic compilation of strategic thinkers, marketing gurus, and ninja-like designers with a passion for developing rockstar brand experiences. After 10 years of bold branding, mind-blowing marketing, nonstop creativity, and a fair share of sleepless nights, we only have one thing to say:

Here’s to 10 more.

Culture

Our roots may be deep in Southern California, but you won’t find us in a shiny high-rise in downtown L.A. or San Diego. You’ll find us smack dab in the middle, enjoying our ocean view in the laid-back surf town of San Clemente. We try not to brag about the average 71-degree temperature. Instead, we put our free time to good use.

We love California (no surprise here), but we’ve attracted talented folks from the East Coast and as far as Brazil. Our unique backgrounds and creative brainpower define the Album culture. Come see for yourself. Anytime.

We Work For Free

We thought that might get your attention. From time to time, startups approach us with great potential and limited funding. In exchange for equity, we rock our branding process and creative brainpower. These engagements are a hybrid of equity, deep discounts, deferred payment or no payment at all – as in, free work. So don’t be shy. We may be selective in this arena, but it doesn’t hurt to ask. These guys weren’t:

The Album Empire

World domination may not be our end goal, but Album is resonating with folks all over – surfers and creative cats alike. Outside our agency roots, Album is a brand that promotes coastal artistic expression. It all started as a creative outlet to shape and paint surfboards. But after 10+ years and 1500+ surfboards later, it’s evolved to more than just a hobby. See for yourself:
