Rockfish Brand Ventures

We're redefining the term "strategic investor" with the inception of Brand Ventures, a new model of agency ventures that brings emerging digital innovations together with agency capabilities and client relationships. The goal is to invest with our clients and start-ups, resulting in accelerated innovation and shared success.

Brand Ventures operates by supplying select start-ups with funding, ad revenue and brand building services through our agency, and in turn ramping up their growth rate and chances for success. We also partner these start-ups with our clients. This provides clients with premier access to the best emerging innovations, thus giving them the opportunity to invest with a growing company that's backed by an award-winning agency well before anyone else. This partnership gives start-ups the chance to build relationships with established brands and companies, while utilizing Rockfish's diverse abilities and areas of expertise.

The investment committee for Brand Ventures is composed of 6 senior Rockfish executives, each of whom bring experience in marketing, venture capital, corporate finance and start-ups. In addition, we leverage an Advisory Board comprised of industry veterans with backgrounds in technology, venture and marketing. These advisors provide deal sourcing, perspective on industry trends, and other support.
