We got our start in 2009. At the time it would have been fair to ask, “Does the world need another advertising agency?” And the answer would have been a resounding NO.

But we were built to service Hyundai. As Hyundai grew in the US, they needed a marketing partner that could grow and evolve with them.

While we’ve since expanded our focus to more clients and industries beyond automotive, the notion of purpose-built has stayed with us and we apply this spirit to all our marketing partners, building resources around your specific needs.

Whether it is helping you launch your brand in the US, fine-tuning your brand identity, establishing new media audiences, generating engaging social media content, or creating an experiential strategy—or all of the above—we will strategically tailor our services to get you to your next chapter.

We're driven by the belief: "The further you go, the more you find."

Our Explorers Code is broken into eight pillars, each one foundational to the agency’s explorer spirit:

Make Things That Make Noise

• The most effective media is shared, not bought. Create the project so killer you’ll overhear strangers, say, “Did you see this?”

Never Not Doing

• Opportunity is out there, and it doesn’t need a brief. Proactivity is the mark of gifted makers, and success is the result for our clients.

Think Big, Act Small

• No matter how big we grow, in our hearts we stay small, scrappy and embrace the hustle.

Creative Focused, Science Informed

• When our ideas are backed by data, research, AI and insight, they resonate and become more effective.

Fear Now, Fame Later

• Though it may be scary at first, inspire clients to think bravely and behave boldly. The initial discomfort of a big idea will soon be eclipsed by the overwhelming success of it.

Brave Every Wave

• Challenges and obstacles come in like tides. When we brave them together, we find our rhythm in discovering unique growth and innovation opportunities for our clients and team.

Care The Most

• We operate well as a team but operate even better as individuals who all feel responsible for the team’s success.

Kindness At Our Core

• We support the success of everyone through mentorship, opportunity, investment and diversity efforts. We are good citizens that strive for a positive impact in our many global communities. 

INNOCEAN USA is a subsidiary of INNOCEAN Holdings Inc. In the U.S. our network of agencies includes Canvas Worldwide (Media Agency), Wellcom Worldwide (Digital Services) and David&Goliath (Creative Agency).

Big branding efforts help our clients set the future of their companies and drive long-term growth. But most of our clients don’t have the luxury of focusing on just the future, they also need to sell their products or services now. That’s why we have become experts at both brand and retail. Everything we do, whether it be a Super Bowl spot or a regional sales banner, is created with craft. This attention to detail and focus on execution, infused with powerful brand storytelling, creates both immediate and long-lasting impact. And it works. It’s helped our largest client, Hyundai, increased brand consideration (long- term value) by 45% while driving sales up 85% and market share up 70% in just a few short years.
