Eighteen81 to 81A: A New Name for What’s Next

Always working toward greatness | 81A

After seven years of growth, collaboration, and creative problem-solving, we’re excited to share the next step in our evolution:

Eighteen81 Agency is now 81A.

When we launched in 2017, we named the agency Eighteen81 to honor the founding year of Phoenix, Arizona (1881) — our home base and the place where this business was born. That connection to Phoenix still matters to us deeply.

But over time, we’ve grown into something more. What began as a boutique agency focused on the healthcare space has expanded to serve clients in retail, hospitality, food & beverage, and other dynamic industries, while continuing to provide expert marketing support in highly regulated, niche sectors like healthcare.

The move to 81A reflects that growth. The name is more concise, more adaptable, and a better fit for the work we do today — blending thoughtful strategy, clean design, and effective execution for brands across the country.

We started Eighteen81 with a clear focus, and over time, our work has naturally grown into something bigger. 81A is just a cleaner, sharper way to reflect who we are now — still the same team, still all-in for our clients, just with a name that matches the direction we’ve been heading.” — Evan Hoffbuhr, Co-Founder | Creative & Marketing Director

What’s not changing?

Our team, our services, and our commitment to delivering high-quality work, fast turnarounds, and creative solutions that are grounded in real-world impact. Our clients will still work with the same account leads they know and trust — and we’ll continue doing what we do best.

To our longtime clients and referral partners: thank you.

Your support has carried us through what we know has been a tough time for small businesses. We’re grateful for every project, every recommendation, and every chance to help your business succeed.

We’re proud of where we started — and even more excited about what’s ahead.

Welcome to 81A.
