Who We Are

At fortytwoeightynine, we're a "personal-sized" marketing agency with big capabilities to guide each brand we represent to its destination. Our mission is to deliver individual attention and produce superior results. We use a team-based structure when it comes to serving the needs of our clients, where account strategy, creative, interactive, media, analytics, and other disciplines all work collaboratively together. This structure has worked well for us, and we get positive feedback from our clients on the way we conduct our business.

Our Team

Our team of people, and the way each one of us thinks, is the difference. It's really what sets us apart from other agencies. Our core team, consisting of Rick Belinson, Amanda Nyen, Jennifer Hankins, and Tony Dzik, comes together every day because we love marketing, we take representing our clients' brands seriously, and we are always imagining what could come next. We ask a lot of questions, because we want to hear (and learn from) what you say. Our best long-term partnerships have been based more on listening than just talking.

What We Do

We position your brand by navigating your unique brand story. We believe that everything we do for your brand needs to matter. It Should Matter. It Must Matter. The agency that represents your company should treat it that way. We do. Our services include strategic planning, internal and external brand identity and positioning, content generation, copywriting, and storytelling. We also offer online, digital, and print advertising, website design, development, and optimization, PPC advertising, and organic SEO/SEM. Additionally, we provide targeted email and direct marketing, sales collateral materials, media analysis and recommendations, data management and reporting, event marketing and support, and video concepting and production.

Our Approach

We ask questions, because we want to hear (and learn from) what you say. We ask "Why?" to gain the insights required to understand your mission, as well as "Why Not?" to challenge everyone involved to think differently and creatively about your situation. Our approach is based on building relationships and longevity, which are two critically important aspects that still hold true in the ever-evolving marketing landscape.

Case Studies

We've worked with a variety of clients across different industries, including Pet Food, Automotive, Industrial, and more. Our case studies showcase our ability to develop and execute integrated marketing plans that drive results. From repositioning brands to launching new products, we've helped our clients achieve their goals through strategic marketing initiatives.
