Founded in 2001 and built around a proprietary branding process called SEISMIC BRANDING, originally adapted from systems developed for Coca-Cola, IBM, and Cingular, Epicenter Advertising & Marketing runs a full-service agency from 3911 Fifth Avenue Suite 212 in Hillcrest. Brand architecture, naming, tagline development, and corporate identity work anchor the studio, with creative direction reaching into print, radio, TV, and video production in a breadth comparable to StudioConover's multi-disciplinary practice. Long-term accounts include Cabrillo Credit Union, which has kept Epicenter as its agency of record across multiple rebrand cycles tied to the studio's one-day branding-session format. Public relations and media planning run in-house, with specialty life-sciences PR sometimes extended through partner agency Canale Communications when client scope crosses into biotech. The Hillcrest office is LGBTQ+ friendly and a designated transgender safe space, and the firm was ranked among San Diego Business Journal's 100 fastest-growing companies. The heaviest engagements are complete rebrands that start with a one-day SEISMIC BRANDING session and extend through naming, logo system, website build, collateral, and a coordinated radio, TV, and print launch.
