To meet the needs of rapid expansion, the newly rebranded Grand Rapids digital marketing agency NineTen Media is positioned for future growth and to support its partners and local community.
Formerly Dood Digital, NineTen Media will give back to West Michigan non-profits by facilitating up to three pro bono projects per year. The agency is currently seeking applicants for 2025.
“Giving back is at the heart of West Michigan,” said Marcus Drenth, owner of NineTen Media. “It’s an honor to come alongside those who have dedicated their work to helping others in our community. We’re eager to provide our digital marketing and web design expertise to help local organizations grow.”
NineTen Media currently collaborates with core West Michigan industries including medical and dental offices, publishing, and food/beverage to name a few. The team of marketing experts and content creators at NineTen Media have worked with Fortune-500 caliber companies and launched more than 700 websites.
“When I started the company over a year ago, I knew there is always a risk with an entrepreneurial venture,” said Drenth. “From the beginning, we’ve prioritized bringing together a hand-selected team of specialized marketers and web designers, tailoring to the client’s unique needs, and delivering lasting results. We’re beyond grateful for the growth and support.”
During his 15-year corporate marketing career at Grand Rapids businesses HarperCollins Publishing and BISSELL, Drenth has driven digital marketing campaigns for prominent brands like The Berenstain Bears, multiple New York Times bestselling books, and the world’s bestselling line of vacuums.
Drenth has collaborated with NFL star Kirk Cousins, Olympian and mental health spokesperson Simone Biles, champion surfer and inspirational speaker Bethany Hamilton, Olympic gold medalist Sanya Richards Ross, former NFL running back Rashad Jennings, and Newbery Medal-winning author and poet Kwame Alexander.
