BrandHoot was founded in January of 2012 two weeks after Nate and his wife found out baby #1 was on the way. Seemed like the perfect time to quit a full-time job and start a company.
Nate began as a social media marketing freelancer working hard out of a tiny home attic a dozen blocks North of downtown Rochester MN. As demand grew websites and apps became our primary service.
The name BrandHoot was picked because our goal is to communicate your brand promise through smart strategy and clarity just like the actions and call of an owl. That and brandhoot.com was the only two-syllable .com available that made us smile.
About a year later BrandHoot was serving over 30 various clients from small local shops to large enterprises. We also launched our first app (HiveSync) and hired a half-dozen contractors to help sustain increasing demand. Soon BrandHoot would start completing projects fully in-house by hiring our first employee.
Rochester Now was an app we imagined for our city to bring scattered local resources and event calendars into one convenient mobile app. In combination with the app our Rochester Now Facebook page and Twitter account allowed us to actively engage thousands of locals and visitors every week promoting events things to do prizes and fun tips.
BrandHoot was recognized with three significant awards in 2014 and 2015.
Top 100 Small Business in the country from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce (Blue Ribbon Award)
Business of the Year from the Rochester Area Chamber of Commerce for outstanding business growth community engagement employee development leadership service and innovation
RAVE Award recipientfor entrepreneurial spirit and vision from the Rochester Area Economic Development Initiative (RAEDI)
In 2015 the BrandHoot team of four moved out of Nates basement to The Vault a trendy historic building in downtown Rochester Minnesota.
While maintaining our client services and after over 10 months of hard work FanCoach was launched in June 2016. FanCoach is an automated Facebook marketing consultant for restaurants. Check out our Labs for more info.
PixelPress was also launched around this time a new website service specifically designed for small businesses and nonprofits.
