THE CHALLENGE
After working for marketing agencies in the Pacific Northwest, Owen Garitty became disillusioned with the standard operating procedure for agencies. He found that long meetings, creative restrictions, and big egos got in the way of helping clients develop impactful communication strategies and tactics. That’s why, in 2013, Garitty founded FPW Media. Labeled as the “un-agency” FPW was founded to dismantle the traditional nature of a marketing agency and embrace a client-first approach. Garitty wanted to create an organization that helped clients achieve their visions through unconventional but effective processes and communications.
FPW was created to forge a path for innovative, fresh, and transformative creativity in the marketing industry. By approaching client projects with an open mind, and valuing client goals first and foremost, FPW leaves no room for ego-driven concepts. Each FPW project is focused solely on helping clients achieve their communication and business goals.
RESULTS
Since its founding in 2013, FPW has grown from a small team of hard-working photographers and brand experts to a company with over 40 employees across three divisions. These divisions– Brand, Film, and Merchandise, allow FPW to design and implement client service entirely in-house. This cuts out the potential for misinterpretation of a client’s goals and increases operational efficiency.
FPW has received numerous awards for its work in the past decade, including Vega Digital Awards and MUSE awards for creativity and design. In 2020 and 2022, FPW was named one of Adweek’s “fastest growing agencies.” Its consistent performance, dedication to client success, and strong client relationships help FPW achieve its mission to meet client goals through an unconventional “un-agency” approach.
