Our Story

Before founding Brandmint, Louie Maier worked full-time as a Project Manager in the construction industry. While juggling budget estimates, project timelines, and business promotion, he discovered a deep passion for marketing. Hungry for more, Louie spent five years moonlighting as a freelance Marketing Manager, refining his skills and philosophy in an evolving marketing landscape.

Until one fateful day, his mentor asked, “What are you doing?”

Louie was caught off guard.

“You’ve got something special with your freelance marketing business,” his mentor pressed. “So, why in the hell haven’t you gone all in?!”

These words changed everything. Going all in meant disrupting traditional marketing ideology. It meant leaving his full-time job to create a company that stood out from agencies relying on outdated processes. It meant attracting brands bold enough to break away from the ordinary.

Louie submitted his resignation and officially launched Brandmint, a content-first advertising agency, in August 2016.

Brandmint’s growth accelerated through strategic acquisitions. In December 2020, the acquisition of Native Collab expanded Brandmint’s footprint into Virginia, enhancing its ability to serve clients with a blend of industry expertise and localized knowledge. In July 2022, Brandmint acquired Communiqué Design & Marketing Inc. in Ithaca, NY, gaining new clients and a talented workforce while strengthening its presence in the Finger Lakes and Southern Tier.

Today, Recognized as one of INC’s fastest-growing companies in the Northeast, Brandmint built a strong operational infrastructure and emerged as a thought leader in the marketing industry, serving diverse sectors with measurable impact. Brandmint’s client base extends from New York to Virginia, supported by a team of client success managers, creative and technical specialists.

But what truly sets Brandmint apart isn’t just our expertise—it’s our commitment to authentic connections. We don’t just provide solutions; we build relationships, align with shared values, and create meaningful experiences that drive growth. Our mission is clear: challenge convention, amplify purpose, and deliver measurable growth for the brands we serve.
