How HiRise and Marketing, Inc. Started
HiRise Inc started in 1993 in a high-rise building in Chicago. Literally.
I was working with a NY Times bestselling author and several nonprofits, and I loved every minute of it. Not because of the tactics or the channels, but because I got to be part of transforming lives through brands and services that actually mattered.
Back then, it was about getting products into bookstores, catalogs, big box stores, TV spots, and the Home Shopping Network. It was about writing copy that resonated and building relationships with buyers who genuinely wanted to serve their customers with great products.
I remember my first big deal: a 75,000-copy book agreement for a catalog. They asked, “What’s the name of your company?” I looked out the window of my high-rise office and the name just came. HiRise Inc. A nod to the building, yes. But also to what we’ve always been about: elevating brands, lifting them higher, and helping them rise above the noise.
Then the internet exploded. Suddenly, the game changed. But the mission didn’t. We still help brands connect with the people who need them most. We still build relationships. We still care about results that matter.
The channels have evolved. The strategy has sharpened. But the heart of HiRise? That’s never changed.
What We Believe
Marketing should feel as good as it performs.
We believe in strategy before tactics. In building ecosystems, not running disconnected campaigns. In blending emotion with data, instinct with execution.
We believe the best marketing creates genuine connections between brands and the people they serve. That success isn’t measured in vanity metrics, but in real growth, aligned teams, and momentum that lasts.
We believe in showing up as partners, not vendors. In asking hard questions. In delivering honest feedback. In moving fast without cutting corners.
We believe that brand owners and their teams should love what they do even more because of the work we create together. That the right strategy brings excitement. That fresh ideas spark energy. That marketing should feel inspiring, not draining.
And we believe that when you get the strategy right, the execution becomes clear. When you understand your audience deeply, the message writes itself. When you build with intention, the results follow.
How We’re Different
We're not a typical agency.
Most agencies sell tactics. We build ecosystems. Most agencies hand off execution to junior teams. We stay hands on. Most agencies chase trends. We focus on what actually works.
We operate as an extension of your leadership team, not as a distant vendor. We track dollars, measure what matters, and make data informed decisions without losing the human touch.
We’ve been doing this since 1993. We’ve seen channels come and go. We’ve adapted, evolved, and stayed ahead. But we’ve never lost sight of what matters most: genuine connections, strategic clarity, and results that last.
We don’t do busywork. We don’t chase vanity metrics. We don’t overwhelm you with jargon. We show up, we deliver, and we make marketing feel good again.
