Our Story

We started Authentic Approach collectively because we see an opportunity to better market our local brands and small businesses authentically here at home in Santa Cruz.

After years of working in the fast paced corporate world of advertising, content production, social media management and sales, our team at Authentic Approach came together to focus on working directly with smaller local businesses.

Your brand has a story. Your business has a niche. Your identity has passion. We want to better communicate that with our community.

Founder / Marketing Director
“Working with Authentic Approach during this time, meeting so many important deadlines and executing with class and precision, has definitely benefited our business in a long term way.

We look forward to a continued partnership with Ben and his team, and wholeheartedly recommend them as your local digital marketing solution.”
