What Openbox Creative Solutions does

Openbox Creative Solutions is a privately held, Saint Augustine, Florida-based creative and digital marketing agency operating as a subsidiary of 2020 Media Group since approximately 2015. The firm delivers integrated brand strategy and digital content services to enterprise and mid-market clients across technology (IBM, CA/Computer Associates), media and publishing (ARM Technologies, UBM, Penton Information Services), healthcare (Florida Doctor Magazine, Wealth Guard), insurance (First Florida Insurance Network), nonprofit (Life For The World), and emerging sports-marketing ventures (Wyn Experiences). Its stated practice covers consultation and strategy, branding and identity, responsive website design and development, online marketing under a proprietary 7-Point Marketing Program, magazine design and mobile apps, digital foundations, data story-telling, video and photography, investor relations, and internal culture consulting — the latter delivered via its proprietary PIERS brand strategy framework (Positioning, Identity, Experience, Relationship).

The firm's core technology and product layer rests on three named assets: the OpenBox HUB content aggregation platform, built in partnership with Uberflip to consolidate blogs, digital magazines, research, video, and social media into inbound lead-generation hubs; the Signum immersive digital magazine experience, delivered as native iOS and Android apps and web apps for ARM Technologies; and the Boardroom Journal custom content marketing magazine targeting C-suite readers for UBM. Its work has earned multiple industry awards, including OZZIE (Folio:), ASBPE, APEX, CMA, Content Marketing Awards, MIN, and SPD awards. Openbox holds two registered trademarks created on behalf of clients — DreamSport (Wyn Experiences) and Quote Challenge (First Florida Insurance Network).

Commercially, Openbox operates as a sales-led professional services agency with project-based, quote-based, custom-priced engagements; no pricing is publicly disclosed and there are no recurring SaaS or retainer revenue streams evidenced in the data. Revenue is generated through direct consultation and strategy engagements with business leaders, and the largest disclosed contract win is the $1.5 million Smart Enterprise brand program with CA (Computer Associates). The firm is small (1-10 employees), led by founder/creative lead Gene Fedele, and serves clients primarily in the Southeast U.S. region, with no disclosed venture capital, private equity, or institutional investment to date.
