What prompted us to build a social media ad agency?
In the Summer of 2017, Internet start-up financier turned stock market guru, Joji Mangubat, listened to Nicolette (Nico) Mangubat, when she started pounding the table on the future of online advertising and marketing wanting to start a Social Media Ad Agency. Citing social media as the single biggest venue ever for any business of any type to grow its brand and attract a highly targeted demographic, Nico was determined to build a firm that would someday become one of the most recognized social media experts on the planet. Joji encouraged the project, and in October of 2017 Swing Wire Media was born.
However, it wasn’t as if Joji didn’t know what the possibilities of his investment could yield. Prior to his 20-year career in the stock market, Joji randomly fell into the advertising and marketing world in 1986 – helping build what would end up becoming a multi-million dollar promotional products company at the ripe young age of 19, before entering the budding commercial Internet space in 1997.
On the cusp of a social media revolution, Nico discovered the importance of self-promotion for her television and print entertainment career in 2003. From My Space to the launch of Facebook – and the ultimate introduction of LinkedIn, Instagram and Snap Chat – Nico has garnered a reputation of understanding social media and the Millennial in a way most have yet to learn.

Gone are the old traditional advertising and marketing techniques.
In is a new model of online advertising and marketing – one that attracts, engages, brands and fuses people to your business like never before.
Work with a company that “gets it” + truly cares.
Thinking outside the box
We’ve got to think out of the box, be creative, and figure out exactly who our clients are after, and how we can attract and engage their desired demographic. People don’t want to be sold anymore. They’re numb to the same old ads and same old offers. They want to find things on their own.
Although every business is different, all of our strategies and marketing tactics have a common thread – find the desired demographic, creatively engage them, and have them become buyers of our clients products and/or services for a lifetime.
Our unique combination of experience – and a commitment to understanding how to successfully brand, engage and get consumers of all ages online to act – is the crux of our success with you.
