Hi! My name is Courtney Krauter and I’m the Intern-turned-teammate here at 1909 DIGITAL! Having just graduated from IU Bloomington this August, I’m so excited to finally put my skills in Digital Marketing and Graphic Design to use. HOW’D I GET HERE? With my concentration in Media Advertising and specialization in Ad Creative, at IU […]
Over the past few weeks, you may have seen an increased amount of animal posts coming from the 1909 DIGITAL socials, including—yes—the official 1909 Long Boi competition (we congratulate the winner Hemingway and reiterate our belief that all our competitors are very good bois).

As the world re-opens, more organizations find themselves in need of digital marketing—and we find ourselves wishing we could support everyone with our transparent, authentic approach.

Due to our close ties to […]
The co-owners of 1909—Jarred, Chris, and I—love to have tongue-in-cheek debates about who is “better friends” with the long-time digital marketers we’ve known for years. (We think we’re hilarious, but our team members probably think we’re obnoxious.) Indianapolis is “the world’s biggest small town” where we’re lucky to have grown up knowing most of the […]
1909 DIGITAL is an academically “Evocative” brand name. It’s slightly mysterious. When done right, an evocative name should cause people to ask, “What does it mean?” Things have gone just as planned for us. The story behind 1909 DIGITAL has inspired us from day one. It has built meaning into our brand and it’s let […]
Always Learning, Every day I learn something new. Sometimes its small like a new keyboard shortcut or a TV show I’ve never heard of before. Other times, more often than you’d think, the thing I learn sends me down a rabbit hole about a historical event or changes the way I operate my daily life. […]
