Dear Friends, Clients, and Partners,
Today, as I sit down to write this, I can hardly believe it myself — Mint Media is officially celebrating 15 years of business! What an incredible journey it’s been, and I can’t think of a better moment to pause, reflect, and offer my most heartfelt thanks.
When I ventured off to work for myself in May 2010, it started as a simple idea: create websites that not only looked amazing but worked hard for the businesses behind them. Fast forward to today, and we’ve had the privilege of helping hundreds of clients grow, evolve, and make their mark online. From scrappy startups launching their first site to established brands reimagining their digital presence, it’s been an honor to be a part of every story.
Our journey has been filled with both personal and professional milestones:
- What began as a weekend side hustle has grown into a full-time career — and a business I’m proud to lead every day.
- Memories of our first office in Eastport overlooking Spa Creek – and our second office in Eastport in the old sail-making building.
- Embraced a fully remote lifestyle in the spring of 2015, spending nearly 2.5 years living in Airbnbs while traveling across Colorado, Montana, Wyoming, Oregon, California, and Utah while continuing to build and serve our clients.
- Learned that great work isn’t tied to one location — it’s powered by passion, creativity, and connection, no matter where the road leads.
- Married my amazing wife, Kristine, and had the joy of working alongside her at Mint Media for five incredible years.
- Watched Kristine take the skills she honed at Mint Media and bring them to one of the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies, making a global impact through digital healthcare communication.
- Reached the incredible milestone of 15 years in business — a testament to persistence, creativity, and the trust of our loyal clients.
But here’s the real truth: our greatest achievement isn’t measured in numbers or projects — it’s in relationships.
To every client who trusted us with your vision, your goals, and your dreams — thank you. Your dedication, creativity, and partnership have been the lifeblood of this company. Some of you have been with us since the very beginning, and many have become more than just “clients”—you’ve become friends.
I am endlessly grateful for every conversation, brainstorm, revision, launch day, and celebration we’ve shared together. Each project, big or small, has helped shape what Mint Media is today: a place where creativity meets strategy, and where genuine partnerships matter.
As we look ahead to the next chapter, I’m more excited than ever. New technologies, new ideas, and new opportunities are on the horizon, and we can’t wait to keep managing and building beautiful, high-impact websites that push our clients toward even greater success.
From the bottom of my heart — thank you for an incredible 15 years. Here’s to many more!
With gratitude and excitement,
John Gibbs
Owner, Mint Media Agency
