The Meaning Behind Our Name
At 1609 Marketing, our mission is to leverage teamwork, efficiency, and innovation to deliver impactful marketing solutions. Rooted in integrity and inspired by the principles of a thriving beehive, we combine our individual expertise to work as one unified team, helping businesses grow and succeed.
The name “1609” isn’t just a number; it carries a story that reflects our values and mission. It draws inspiration from one of nature’s most remarkable creatures—the honeybee. In 1609, naturalist and apiarist Charles Butler published The Feminine Monarchie. This was a groundbreaking work that revolutionized our understanding of bee society. For the first time, people recognized the queen bee as the hive’s true leader, challenging the long-held belief in a “king” bee. This revelation highlighted the importance of collective success, teamwork, and adaptability, principles that resonate deeply with us at 1609 Marketing.
Just as the queen bee plays a vital role in the hive’s survival, ensuring the colony’s well-being and future, we provide the leadership and vision to drive your business forward. As a woman-owned company, we draw inspiration from the strength and pivotal role of the queen bee, building our services on values of collaboration, efficiency, and long-term success.
In a beehive, every bee plays a crucial role, working together toward a common goal. They embody teamwork, innovation, integrity, and the importance of data-driven decision-making—qualities that ensure the hive operates harmoniously and productively. At 1609 Marketing, we embrace these principles as we strive to help your business flourish.
Founded to continue a legacy of excellence in marketing, 1609 Marketing is committed to partnering with clients and fostering growth. We are passionate about helping businesses thrive and dedicate ourselves to serving them with the same enthusiasm and commitment that drives every bee in the hive.
Together, let’s cultivate success.

Meet Our Queen Bee
We really wish Beyonce hadn’t claimed this title because, honestly, every woman juggling work, business, and life deserves to use this title – without the pressure of a full-blown song and dance. Though, to be fair, bees do have a waggle dance…but let’s not get sidetracked.
