Digital Media Experts Obsessed with Your Growth
Our Mission
Our mission is simple, yet ambitious. With a single digit employee attrition rate in an industry that is famous for turning over 40% of staff, we know we are doing something meaningful for our team-members, and judging by the results, we know we are making a difference in our clients lives as well. We are an unfinished product. We are relentless, always improving, and occasionally making mistakes along the way. Our promise is to be the best, and most integrity-filled partner or employer you will ever know, and that we will improve every day.
Be an elite digital growth platform for the mid-market disrupter, in order to create opportunity, meaning and opportunity for the communities we serve.
Our People
We do this for a living because we are passionate about our employees, and their growth and learning, and that extends into success for us and our partners. We are creating a new type of growth platform knowing that when we succeed personally, our customers succeed, Acadia succeeds, and ultimately, our community succeeds.

Tony Lazare
Director, Website and App, Ideal Image
Unlike other agencies I’ve worked with in the past, their approach is not to overwhelm you with audits and then walk away while you try to implement the recommendations.

It's hard to imagine designing a better structure for an agency that manages the level of complexity which they are able to deliver on consistently.
