Voltage

What Voltage does

VOLTAGE, LLC is a Louisville, Colorado-headquartered creative and digital agency founded in 2008 by Eric Fowles. The firm operates as a services business organized around three integrated practice areas: Creative Services (brand design, campaign development, video production, influencer engagement, community management), Technology and Development Services (e-commerce builds, custom web applications, certified Shopify Plus and WordPress/WooCommerce development, Laravel, ADA and data compliance, maintenance), and Digital Strategy Services (brand positioning, growth marketing, analytics, A/B testing). Customer work spans e-commerce platforms and consumer brand marketing, supported by an in-house team of creative directors, copywriters, developers, strategists, and a resident cybersecurity expert.

The agency's technical footprint includes proprietary offerings layered on top of its services practice. The Digital Growth Framework is a four-step engagement methodology (Learn, Plan, Create, Optimize) that structures client work. Kinetix™ by VOLTAGE is a pre-built, customizable WordPress component system launched in 2023 and positioned as a performance-focused alternative to bloated page builders. Force4Good Fundraising is a sub-brand and virtual fundraising platform launched in 2020, operated as an internal venture and codified trademark. The firm has also co-developed marketing content with Google around the Google Stitch AI design tool (announced 2024-06), using Force4Good as the pilot application. Its registered brand identity "Force For Good" encodes a commercial differentiator under which 4% of profits are directed to causes chosen by clients.

Commercially, VOLTAGE pursues enterprise and mid-market consumer-brand clients through direct website intake, phone/email outreach, and a content-marketing engine (The Current blog, social channels, case-study portfolio, regional meetups). Pricing is quote-based and project- or retainer-driven with multi-year contracts; no public pricing exists. The named customer base spans consumer verticals - fashion (adidas, Reebok, Fjällräven, Ouai, Smartwool), beauty/cosmetics (Milani Cosmetics, The Chosen), fitness (solidcore), food/restaurant (Chipotle, Salad and Go), outdoor (MOOTS, Fjällräven, Smartwool), airlines (Frontier Airlines), sports (Denver Broncos), baby/family (Owlet), and finance (Peterson Partners). Ownership is concentrated with the founding team; the entity is a privately held Colorado LLC with no disclosed institutional capital, parent company, or subsidiary relationships.
