June Solstice: The 21st Agency Newsletter

QUITE THE SPECIAL MONTH

Today we turn NINE YEARS YOUNG. Shout out to the OG’s who remember the notorious “a marketing whisperer” name. My, my how far we’ve come. We dropped the 6-syllable tongue twister name for the nod to our owner’s birthday, which we also celebrate this month on June 21st.

No confetti cannons or generic champagne toasts here, just real gratitude and a whole lot of momentum (no one’s counting the meltdowns). Thanks to every client, collaborator, and caffeine drip that’s fueled this ride.

We can’t wait to see what the next era brings. Stay tuned for season 9, now in theaters.

Let’s catch you up on the rest of our wild, wonderful month of excitement.👇

What We’ve Been Up To

9 YEARS, AND WE HAVEN’T BLINKED YET 👀

What started as one woman with a laptop and a lot of nerve is now a full-service, full-throttle, full-squad agency. 💅🏽

We’ve helped brands break in, stand out, glow up, and grow fast. From local owner/operators to global Fortune 500 brands, the roster keeps growing. And, we’re just heating up.

Thanks for riding with us. It’s been an INSANE journey, and we appreciate and recognize every.single.nod of confidence that has been “whispered” along the way.

THANK YOU and THANK GOD.🙏

STUDIO 21A IS NEARLY READY 🎙️

The podcast studio is officially taking shape. Cables are getting cozy, lights are getting sexy, and we’ve nearly soundproofed enough to muffle the Tampa thunder. Nearly.

You’ll want to book this space. It’s clean, pro, and 100% vibe. Slide into our inbox for booking info.

Almost there. Yes, the disco ball made the cut.

WELCOME TO THE WORLD, MURPHY 👶

Christian and Chloe’s baby girl made her fashionably late debut — and she’s already winning hearts. Born May 27th, she shares a birthday with her mom, ANDDDDD her grandma. It was fate. Murphy is healthy, perfect, and clearly inheriting her parents’ taste for drama.

Team 21A is fully obsessed with their latest girl addition. Sorry Christian, you’re still out numbered.

WE’RE CRUSHING ON CRUSH 💘

We just dropped a complete rehaul for our client, a matchmaking brand for the discerning singles. We took this brand from homegrown to high-end with a new yacht club aesthetic. The client is over the moon for her new look and feel.

We also launched her new social with a very KEWL new campaign centered around voice notes 🎤💧.

MATHEUS’ EDITING DEBUT = NAILED IT 🎬

Our summer intern, Matheus, knocked his first video edit out of the park. Brittany’s headphone unboxing was 100% chaos, but delivered big facts. If you’re in the market for new headphones that fit your “ear holes” - look no further than this top-tier review & edit.

New bar: set. 🎬

TECH STACK MAMBO 🕺🏼

Sometimes a client comes to us like a tangled necklace, and it’s up to us to grab the safety pin and get to work. This high-growth franchise brand asked us to do just that.

The team delivered a blueprint to help Ultimate Ninjas unpack a new tech stack and approach to simplify their marketing activities, delivering materials that result in high-performance stores for their youth gym experience brand. Tl;dr we’re ALL still waiting for that “one-stop dashboard” to be developed.

New Clients - we’ve got ‘em.

Woof Gang is on the move again.

The Team was be in Orlando shooting their new stores, and pup shampoo releases. Stay tuned for the paws-itively great content.

Tampa’s Newest Restaurants from the partners of Barterhouse

We’re teaming up with the powerhouse partners behind Tampa’s buzziest new spots — Barterhouse, Tommy’s Chophouse, Ocean Ink Raw Bar — plus Charleston’s own Burwells.

Think: elevated steaks, raw bar energy, and reservation-worthy interiors. We’re leading their full digital footprint, from website and email strategy to SEO, social ads, and PR. Burwells is even getting its own e-comm shop for steak shipped straight to your doorstep.

Your next favorite restaurant? We’re probably behind the marketing.
