Ant Hill Marketing was founded in 1997 as a full-service strategic marketing communications and public relations firm. Co-founder Grant Kimball brought his corporate marketing experience to the team, while Kim Brater contributed her agency knowledge. They combined talents to build a firm designed to serve companies that needed strategic marketing expertise and execution.
Coffee Time on NW 21st was our first “office” and the staff there quickly learned our favorite drinks and had them ready before we got to the counter. Our first real office in the East Bank Lofts building served as home for nearly eight years as we experienced a growth phase that resulted in four Fastest Growing Private Company awards from the Portland Business Journal.
Today, we are an established Portland agency and the only Certified Brand Strategist firm in the Northwest that specializes in aligning business, brand and marketing strategies to drive growth. And we are the proud owners of a 5,000 square foot office space in the Pearl District where the food options are great, even if the parking situation is not.
Our plan is to continue to grow into one of the Northwest’s authorities in brand and marketing services by helping well-managed, forward-looking organizations achieve their potential.
