About Us

How do you make an impact in this new media world? With the rise in social media, online marketing, blogging, email marketing and web 2.0 tools, there are more channels of communication, more ways to reach an audience and a steadily evolving range of tools and protocols. Where do you fit in?

The team at Otherside Media can help. We’re an innovative Bay Area marketing, writing and design collective and we live online. We’ve completed online marketing campaigns for nonprofit organizations, editorial planning for media companies, online strategies for small businesses and electronic press packets for artists and consultants.

The world is moving online and we’re committed to helping people make the transition. Our team of writers, social media consultants, designers and artists combine deep digital chops, a DIY aesthetic and a progressive worldview. And we’re as committed to digital inclusion and community education as we are to high quality work and excellent service. We’re a marketing and media company with vision.
