Our personalized client service will provide care, expertise, and the communication you need to make key decisions.
Whether you are looking to build your email and texting subscriber lists, digital advertising and acquisition, Facebook, Instagram, Google, and YouTube, or your website, our data-driven digital strategy will help.
Our Name
Our climb for social, racial, reproductive, economic, and environmental justice started in 2008 in Vermont, the Green Mountain State, where a 16-year-old left to volunteer for then-Senator Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign in New Hampshire. It continued on a campus known as “The Mountain” and resonated in the “I Have Been to the Mountaintop” speech by Martin Luther King, Jr. echoed through the union hall we organized from in Staten Island, New York on the Bernie 2016 presidential campaign. When it came time to pick a name nearly a decade later, Mountaintop seemed only right.
We find our strength and endurance in the diversity and solidarity of our movements. We climb together, and we rise together.
Together, we will help you reach your mountaintop.
