About Mainland (Founded 2008)

Mainland is not a traditional agency. We are a growth platform built for brands that need to win, not just show up.

Since 2008, we’ve operated at the intersection of content, public relations, and digital, helping companies build momentum through a system we call the Conveyor Belt: create meaningful stories, amplify them through media, and convert that attention into real business outcomes.

We work with ambitious brands, especially in franchising, that want more than activity. They want results. That means everything we do is tied to a clear definition of winning, measurable outputs, and consistent execution.

We move fast. We expect accountability. And we care deeply about the work.

We call it Give a Shit.
