About Us

Dangerous ideas. Stake-in-the-ground positioning. Culturally relevant execution. Razor sharp creative marketing is part instinct, part disregard for personal safety. You might call us crazed, but we think it takes more than casual interest to anticipate real trends.

Here's the thing. As we speak, your target audience is busy crafting an identity. Deliberate and impulsive statements that reflect their tastes, beliefs, and lifestyle. You know you nailed it as a brand when they adopt your identity as part of their own.

Death & Taxes hunts down the latest in music, art, fashion, TV, big screen, and sports. We track trends from teenie boppers to biker gangs to retirement homes - positioning your story to lead the market. The results are authentic, enduring brand experiences.

Where did we get all this insight, you ask? That's where disregard for personal safety comes in. We developed our method working with action sports leaders like Ride Snowboards and Fox Racing - companies founded on identities that are dynamic and, well, action packed. At this level you learn to stay on your game.

Since then, we've seen the rules in counter culture carry over to broader lifestyle and technology markets, as well as the world of advertising. Whether you come to us as a brand or an agency seeking consultation, Death & Taxes can shape your marketing campaign to reach even the most inaccessible demographics.
