About Satori Marketing:

Satori is a noun. It’s an adjective. Sometimes, it’s even a verb (Wow, we need to Satori the ____ out of this). To most, it means sudden enlightenment. For us, we can’t imagine any other way to do business. We move as one unit – Account Service, Creative, Media, Public Relations, Strategy and Social Media – and we move swiftly. We’re driven by culture. Of the team and of the moment. We walk, talk and think like humans. We don’t believe in fake, even when the waters get deep. You might call it the refined art of keeping it real. We call it the art of keeping it, well, Satori.
