Agency Eight is a New York City based marketing company solving one of the most challenging problems for an early stage DTC brand: how do you find your consumer, and once you do, how do you connect with them?

Established in 2022, Agency Eight transcends traditional marketing strategies by harnessing the power of community building. Together, we create authentic connections between your brand and its audience. We know that today’s consumer is subject to an overwhelming number of options, paid ads, influencers, and media; A8 cuts through the noise by putting your product in the hands of real people and turning those people into engaged brand evangelists.

Since launching, we have helped scale leading CPG brands in the beauty, fashion, food and beverage industries. Using our unique, tailored approach, we've engaged over 10,000 influencers, seeded over 5,000 gifts, and garnered over 8,000 pieces of content across our portfolio.
