The Many

Santa Monica, United States · 178 people · Est. 2010

We're The Many, a proudly independent, award-winning ad agency based in Santa Monica with offices in Australia, Canada, and Austin that specializes in participatory marketing—the kind of work that invites people in, gets them playing, co-creating, and building something bigger than ads. Formerly known as Mistress, we've evolved because even agencies need to adapt or die—Darwin would be proud. We bring together creative, strategy, social, digital, design, media, and production to architect transformative brand participation that turns passive audiences into active co-conspirators. From integrated brand experiences and world-record activations to social movements and earned media stunts that give legal departments heart palpitations, we build ideas designed to be played with, not focus-grouped to death. We're not interested in the kind of "disruptive" thinking that considers lukewarm coffee at meetings revolutionary. Named one of Adweek's Fastest Growing Agencies and a three-time Ad Age Small Agency of the Year, we've earned recognition from Cannes, One Show, Clio, D&AD, and beyond. Our superpower? Getting people so engaged with brands that they forget they're being marketed to—like a magician, but instead of pulling rabbits out of hats, we pull genuine human connection out of corporate budgets. We're not just building brands; we're building movements, communities, and the kind of work that makes Monday mornings feel like possibilities instead of prison sentences. Join us in creating meaningful participation that actually matters—because the world has enough “pretty and persuasive" ads and not nearly enough reasons to care.

IOI Solutions

Santa Monica, United States · 6 people · Est. 2018

Automotive brands trust our global team to deliver results. IOI's proven Max Acquisition methodology has generated over +$75M in revenue for our clients in the last 7 years by blending best-in-class strategy across Paid Ads, SEO, and CRO. Automotive brands do not slow because of a lack of demand. They slow because demand is mismanaged. IOI Solutions is a performance marketing agency built for automotive companies that refuse to accept stagnation, rising customer acquisition costs, and marketing that cannot clearly explain where revenue comes from. In an industry where every lead, appointment, and sale carries real operational weight, we focus on one thing: converting attention into lifetime revenue. Most agencies optimize activity. We optimize outcomes. That means fewer low-quality leads, clearer revenue modeling, stronger conversion paths, and marketing systems that compound instead of reset every month. The Problems We Solve We help automotive companies overcome: Stagnant growth despite ongoing ad spend High cost per customer and declining ROI Poor lead quality that wastes sales team time Unclear revenue attribution and forecasting Websites that attract traffic but do not convert Low organic visibility in high-intent searches What We Do IOI Solutions delivers full-funnel performance marketing across Paid Media, SEO, Conversion Optimization, and Revenue Ops. Every strategy is tied directly to buyer intent, qualification, and revenue outcomes, not vanity metrics. Who We Work With We partner with performance-driven automotive organizations, including: Dealerships, PPF installers, auto body shops, and tuning brands Automotive media sites and publishers Automotive SaaS platforms Automotive shows, conferences, and media networks OEMs and manufacturers If your automotive business needs to break past marketing constraints with clearer performance and higher-quality demand, IOI is for you.
