Mulberry Street's business name is inspired by a Dr. Seuss book, "And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street." (Dr. Seuss characters TM & © Dr. Seuss Enterprises, L.P.)
This tiny marketing company seems to be the favorite company in Pierce County among our voters whether they work there or not. The lucky few who do (six on-site employees and a dozen or so contractors) love that they work for the company that has the coolest office around and is a great place not only for them, but for their families, too (Mulberry Street also won our "coolest office space" and "most family-friendly" categories for small companies).
What seems to really make the six-year-old company win big points, though, is what it has meant to the town of Gig Harbor and surrounding communities. Our readers say that having a creative marketing company in the area to help local businesses sell themselves helps everyone. "Before these guys, there weren't a lot of choices," one person tells us. "They're out to make a difference and introduce a fresh perspective, and it's working. Their ads are stunning and hilarious."
