What’s a Tenth Muse?
Grab your toga…
In ancient Greece, there were said to be nine Muses. They were the daughters of Zeus and as creative entities, they inspired the masses to help humanity progress and grow to new heights.
Shakespeare coined it…
He gave his colleague the ultimate compliment by telling him that he was the Tenth Muse, for he united and rose above those old nine into one source of inspiration, for he was inspiration itself.
We are that Tenth Muse applied to today. We are an advocate for your progression. Your trusted guide and source of inspiration for your brand to prosper. We are the merger of creativity, logic, technology, and business savvy.
We’re Organized to CREATE Impact
Every business/audience requires an ocean of knowledge and a customized approach. We’ve nurtured relationships in our industry to identify top performers that are niche-specific and leverage those connections to your advantage. Your team is hand-selected to provide impact.
Our network extends further than our internal Muses. The Muse Collective extends our branding knowledge into niche advertisers, vendors, and marketers that know how to market to your target audience better than anyone else. You get the best of both worlds: a brand-focused agency to help define and communicate your intention, and niche marketers to help get the word out in the most efficient and effective means possible.
Think of Tenth Muse as your symphony conductor, overseeing and bringing the instruments into harmony and ensuring that your brand is built to live long and prosper.
