Keep Communicating.
Reevaluate. Rework. Reposition. Rethink your marketing.
The ‘normal’ way of doing business isn’t the ‘usual’ anymore. We are ready to help.
You could say we’re a
“personal-sized” marketing agency with
Big Capabilities
to guide each brand we represent to its destination.
Mission:
Our mission is to deliver individual 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, 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.
Team:
The core team who keeps your brand strategy in alignment:
- Rick Belinson | President & Brand Strategist
- Amanda Nyen | Account Strategist & Media Director
- Jennifer Hankins | Accounting / Production Manager
- Tony Dzik | Graphic Designer
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.
Positioning your brand.
Points of interest we may use along the way to navigate your brand:
The goal is to communicate your strengths, your differences, and what they really mean…to an industry, to a customer, to solving a problem, to providing the right answer. You have your own unique brand story. It is special to you, it can become very personal, and it matters. Everything we do for your brand needs to matter. It Should Matter. It Must Matter. The agency that represents your company should treat it that way. We do.
You’ll find it here at fortytwoeightynine.

MicroDried was already well known in the industry for their fruit and vegetable products and their revolutionary drying process. They had a great foundation but were looking for some new ideas from an agency that would push them.
