TideSmart is an agency built for impactful brands looking to create positive change. Bottom lines were once aligned to profit only. Not anymore. We’re using business as a force for good to balance profit with purpose for the health of the planet and the people who share it. That means promoting sustainability not only WHERE we work but HOW we work. As marketers, we have a responsibility to do more, and we’re leading by example and helping the companies we work with do more too.

 

Since 2003, we’ve been on a mission to create more healthy and sustainable experiences for a better tomorrow through our health and experiential business units. From end-to-end mobile tours to transformative health activations and turn-key logistics, we offer highly customizable & hyper-targeted experiential campaigns that drive brand growth, build communities, and inspire consumer action.

Leadership

Our team is made of thought leaders and industry experts at the top of their game.
