ABOUT
OUR TEAM

We push brands to reach their full potential—whatever it takes.

Bring us your pain points and we’ll solve them. We aren’t “yes men.” We give a damn about your brand and we’ll push you to take risks, challenge your preconceptions, and together find the best way to do the job.

A different type of agency

We're home
24/7, 365

When we set out to create Riot, we knew we wanted it to be different than your typical cookie cutter marketing and creative agency. We’ve experienced first-hand the frustration that can come from outsourcing to people that, at the end of the day, don’t know your company, your market, or your brand. We aim to change that paradigm. We’ve built our organization around the idea that we’re not just another vendor — we’re in the trenches as part of your in-house marketing team.

We were included in every step of the process, so we always knew what was going on.”
