Like many entrepreneurial companies, lotus823 had humble beginnings... namely, the dining room table. It was here where agency partners, David and Allison Hernandez, developed the idea of an integrated approach to marketing communications.
The new concept was born, in 2010, out of a realization that, in order for brands to gain a competitive advantage and increase market share, they needed to address a major shift in consumer behavior. Brands were no longer discovered in traditional media only; instead, increasingly, consumers were discovering and embracing brands through cross-channel experiences in traditional media and searching online. PR is still a key element, but equally important is online visibility driving relevant traffic and social media engagement.
From the dining room table to the team conference rooms today, lotus823 has evolved with the changing business models our clients need. Now a full-service agency, lotus823 combines modern marketing tactics such as public relations, influencer marketing, and digital marketing inclusive of social, content, email and Amazon marketing, to create fully integrated strategies. By building powerful connections across multiple channels, the agency delivers engaging business solutions with measurable results to companies across the world. Despite our expanded scope and reach, lotus823 has maintained its grassroots culture from which the company was built.
