Our Story
The inception of Honolulu Marketing Agency came at a time when our community faced its greatest challenges. Amidst the pandemic, the heartbreak of seeing long-established, beloved local businesses shut down contrasted sharply with the emergence of new ventures in tourist-centric zones. These new businesses, often from outside Hawaii, did not always reflect the needs or values of our local communities.
As tourism makes its resurgence, revitalizing Hawaii's economy, the struggle for local small businesses persists. Amid these economic shifts, we've also seen an uptick in crime, raising poignant questions about the balance of growth and community well-being.
In this context, Honolulu Marketing Agency was launched with a vision to forge a path where local businesses could thrive alongside the burgeoning tourist industry, without being overshadowed by it. Our goal is to empower these businesses, helping them leverage their unique strengths and authentically connect with both locals and visitors.
We believe in a Hawaii where economic vitality reaches every corner of our community—where prosperity in tourism also means prosperity for local businesses. It’s not just about growth; it’s about sustainable and inclusive growth that enhances the quality of life for all Hawaiians. This is the foundation on which our agency was built and the future we are working toward every day.
