Our Story

We started in 2006 as an ad agency that beat to a different drum.  Other firms were offering their services to any client who could pay, even if those clients were selling products like poison or lard. We wanted to do things differently. We wanted to provide premium branding to small businesses seeking to benefit society or the planet. First, we started working for these cause-driven businesses in a house. Then, we moved to a simple warehouse, then a nicer warehouse, and finally, an office.

Over time, Adbongo evolved organically into what it is now. Today advertising is just one of our methods for helping clients grow their businesses. We seed start-ups that agree to zero waste goals, or we accelerate them in clean economy boot camp.  Adbongo is a train headed for the new clean economy, one where there are more winners, abundant resources, and zero waste.

Clients in our ecosystem sleep well at night knowing they are doing their part for the environment.  Our minimum retainer is one hour of organic business development a month.  We are on the Gold Standard and charge 1/10 of an ounce of gold an hour.  Lock in your rate, just like a home mortgage.
