About Us.

You could say we’re a “personal-sized” marketing agency, with big capabilities to guide each brand we represent to its optimal destination.

Our mission is to deliver individualized attention and produce superior results. We use a team-based structure when it comes to serving the needs of our clients. Account strategy, creative, interactive, media, analytics and other disciplines all work collaboratively together. So there are no silos or unnecessary levels. This structure has worked well for us, and we get positive feedback from our clients on the way we conduct our business. No matter how our craft has evolved, and as it continues to do so, fortytwoeightynine believes two critically important aspects still hold true… Relationships and Longevity. Our team of people, and the way each one of us thinks, is the difference. It’s really what sets us apart from other agencies.

The core team who keeps our brand strategies and executions in alignment:

> Rick Belinson | President & Brand Strategist
> Amanda Nyen | Account Strategist & Media Director
> Jennifer Hankins | Accounting / Production Manager

> Tony Dzik | Graphic Designer

> Jerrick Hakim | Web Developer

We come together every day because we love marketing, we take representing our clients’ brands seriously, and we are always imagining what could come next. We ask a lot of questions, because we want to hear (and learn from) what you say. Our best long-term partnerships have been based more on listening than just talking. But we will ask you “Why?”, to gain the insights required to understand your mission, as well as “Why Not?”, to challenge everyone involved to think differently and creatively about your situation.
