Being a small business owner, an entrepreneur, or a side-hustler takes real guts. It means seeing opportunities where others see obstacles, standing tall when others would back down. We get it, because we’re cut from the same cloth. We know what it’s like to go toe-to-toe with giants, to take on businesses with bigger budgets and endless resources. We know the thrill and the challenge of being the David to someone else’s Goliath.

That’s why we’re here: to give you an edge that can’t be bought. We’re relentless in uncovering opportunities others miss, in breaking down barriers, and in finding the moves that make you unstoppable. At 1644 Media, we’re not just your agency; we’re your partner in daring and in winning. Forget the rules—they’re meant to be broken. With us, there are no limits—just possibilities.

What’s in Our Name? Why 1644 Media?

1644 is more than just a number—it’s a tribute to discovery, curiosity, and breaking boundaries

In 1644, something extraordinary happened—a UFO sighting lit up the skies over Boston, stirring up wonder and whispers among the colonists. Mysterious lights, hovering and gliding, challenged everything they knew about the world. Were these just lights, or signs of something bigger? For us at 1644 Media, this story symbolizes what we aim to do: grab attention, ignite curiosity, and leave people with something unforgettable.

Meanwhile, back in Europe, the telescope was giving humanity a new lens on the universe. We were finally able to glimpse beyond our earthly boundaries, seeing stars, planets, and galaxies that had been invisible before. This newfound perspective reminded us of one truth: there is always more out there, waiting to be discovered.

Why 1644 Media?
Because we don’t settle for what’s obvious. We use the tools of today—data, AI, and creativity—to see beyond the surface, to explore what others overlook, and to chart bold, new courses in marketing. With us, there are no limits—just possibilities.
