Addis

Addis is a brand and advertising agency in the San Francisco Bay Area. We help companies shape the future of business and become the most meaningful brands of our time. Our clients are purpose-driven and thrive on making a positive impact on their industry and on people's lives. They create shared value to create greater brand value. And they make life better. For 30 years, Addis has collaborated with companies that elevate the role brand plays in the world. We value every interaction with our clients' audiences whether it's a 30-second spot, a digital campaign, package design, brand name, or website. For some brands, we may be their primary agency. For others, we'll do recurring projects when they have a particular challenge to solve. We built the entire Verlasso brand from the ground up while Audi of America calls us when they need very specific ideas. For some clients, we help them raise capital and even invest in the form of work for equity. We hesitate to limit what we do to a typical capabilities list. Startups tend to bring us on long before you'd expect to start with an agency partner. We gave Shutterfly its name before the founders even knew exactly what their business would truly be. The snack brands Popchips and Somersaults brought us on to help develop the products, not just the brand. For the tech brands Equinix and Guavus, we've conducted workshops to build a culture around what we refer to as Brand Instinct. We're an independent agency so we are beholden only to our team and to our clients. If you have a need to grow your brand or if you have a non-traditional challenge, give us a call.
