Our Story

Unbox began during the chaos of 2022, founded by two friends who saw how many small businesses were being left behind without good design or marketing support. We built Unbox to level the playing field. Since then, we’ve grown into a nimble, expert team that helps brands of all sizes find their voice, define their edge, and own their space.
