Humble Beginnings
Disappointed by the clumsy and unsophisticated user experience on websites in the 1990s, the seed was planted in CEO David Hugh Martin’s mind to create a new breed of digital agency and in 1999, Fantasy Interactive (Fi) came to life.
What began as a boutique design shop has now matured into a highly respected global digital agency with offices in New York, San Francisco, Salt Lake City and Stockholm. Twelve years later, we're still growing, learning and evolving our creative attitudes, strategic approaches and digital expertise to meet the increasingly sophisticated needs of our clients and the evolving landscape of the digital industry. We understand that success for our clients - and our agency - can only occur by marrying creativity, passion, insight and strategy. This forward thinking mindset and entrepreneurial style is a big reason why we've been chosen to narrate brand stories for some of the most innovative brands in the world including Google, HTC, Porsche, Fox and CNN.
Our Philosophy
Ideas alone don't bring brands to life. Action does. At Fi, every single person from our CEO to design, strategy, technology, business and marketing teams has an impact on projects. And the personalities of our global teams are just as colorful and bold as the designs and applications we create for brands. Whether you're stepping into our Tribeca office in New York, or chatting with our Stockholm design gurus, you'll feel at home and relaxed. Since day one when CEO David Martin brought Fantasy Interactive (Fi) onto the digital scene, the goal was simple: Foster a culture of imagination, passion, fun and an unwillingness to settle for "good enough"; innovation and success will follow.
Creative Excellence and Passion Are In Our DNA
We're perfectionists at heart, and creative by nature. For us, there's a sense of joy and excitement in challenging ourselves to push the limits of creative design, production and strategy for one shared goal: to create intuitive and personal user experiences. The result is a shelf stacked with industry awards for, simply put, our standards of excellence as digital innovators and visionaries. Over the years, we've racked up a nice list of honors including The Webby Awards, .net Design Agency of the Year, FWA Hall of Fame and Imagine Publishing’s List of "Companies We Admire."
