Our Story


Blair and Company (Blair & Co.) was founded in 2011. Originally named Leyte Blair, we changed our name in 2016 to reflect the current and forthcoming partnership structure.


We believe that success comes from understanding the marketplace and understanding the target audience, and we know the first step to understanding is research. Everything we do, from campaign implementation, to strategy, to web design and media planning, is predicated by this belief.


We thrive on the implementation of systemic research programs that drive smart and results oriented marketing programs. We aren’t afraid of accountability, in fact we need it to assist us with our understanding of the ever-changing digital market place.


We don’t know if this sets us apart from other agencies, we are not focused on what they are or what they do. What drives us is the knowledge that we are only as good as our last campaign.
