The Meaning of Ohana
Ohana is more than just the word for “family.” It’s the spirit of Kailua-Kona and the islands, a way of life that’s the best in the nation. It’s laid back like the west coast, with the authentic hospitality of the south and the generosity of the heartland. It draws millions of visitors to our islands. It’s how Kailua-Kona Marketing inspires customers to embrace your brand and it’s how we pride ourselves on treating our clients.
We started Kailua-Kona Marketing because we saw a need to connect our beloved community’s businesses with modern marketing and the spirit of the islands. We bring cutting edge technologies and techniques, a talent for inspiring narrative and decades of experience to you and your brand, so that together, we can bring more value and customers to your Ohana.
Our Team
Matt and Gina started in storytelling and journeyed into every avenue of the digital world, but their hearts have always been in Kailua-Kona.
Mainlanders by birth but Kona residents by destiny, they started their careers with a Masters in Professional Writing, service in the Air Force, and a shared dream of discovering new media to tell a story. Soon, they were telling the stories of national brands in the auto, home service, finance, beauty and health industries, with a proven record of increasing value quarter over quarter.
Matt’s strategic ability and team development skills come from over eight years on executive leadership teams, focusing on the data that truly grows a business. Gina’s creative powers and technical expertise have crafted quality design campaigns for social media, web, traditional and even metaverse marketing. We had all the requirements to take businesses to the next level. All we needed was a cause.
We found it in Kailua-Kona, in the businesses that made the community better, the community that was the best in the nation, and the passion for bringing value to both. We were inspired to make new businesses become beloved favorites, favorite businesses to grow their locations and struggling businesses to flourish once more. And we wanted to do it with Ohana in our hearts and as our mission – to bring that priceless Hawaiian spirit of family to all.
We’ll be honored and delighted to include you in our Ohana. We treat our clients in a personalized way, focus on the goals that will make a difference for your individual situation and spread your unique brand.
