About Planet Media, Denver's Sustainability Marketing Agency

Since 1999, one rule has not changed: the person who answers your email is the person doing the work. A small, senior studio for branding, web design and digital marketing, beside purpose-driven companies from the first strategy call to long after launch.

Get to know us

From San Francisco to Denver, building brands that matter.

Planet Media was born in San Francisco in 1999, when Kurt Whitt left a Silicon Valley career in internet and new media to build a different kind of agency: small, senior, and dedicated to brands that are good for the planet.

Today we work from the Neusteters Building in downtown Denver, positioning eco-friendly and purpose-driven brands to earn awareness, engagement and loyalty. Strategy, messaging, identity and the website itself, planned and executed by the same senior team, never handed off.

And we know the sustainable economy because we live in it: solar and wind energy, sustainable food and agriculture, green building and construction, waste reduction and the circular economy, eco-friendly transportation, and the B Corps and nonprofits proving their impact every day.

The founder

We take special pride in developing our projects with, not for, our clients. Execution always aligns with strategy.

Kurt leads Planet Media at the intersection of strategy, storytelling and design, and he is still in the room on every project, not just the pitch. You are consulted at every stage, and whatever your budget, you get our best work and full attention.

Because to us, Planet Media is more than a business. It is a gathering of like-minded humans who believe business can promote the common good of people and communities.

That belief sets the bar: establishing credibility for our clients is not enough. We want to be a catalyst for raising standards across the entire market.

How we work

Small team. Real support. Full transparency.

01

We walk beside you

Not ahead of you, not behind you. You are consulted and advised at every stage, from the first strategy call to the final launch checklist, and every decision is made with you in the room.

02

Real people, real support

You always talk to the people doing the work. We answer within one business day, and we stay after launch with maintenance, fixes and honest advice, for as long as you need us.

03

One shared workspace

Every project lives in Basecamp, our online collaboration hub. Messages, files, to-dos and timelines in one place, visible in real time, so you always know what is happening and what comes next.

04

Small on purpose, always current

Senior specialists only, no layers, no juniors learning on your budget. And our toolkit never falls behind: high-performance web builds, marketing automation and AI, applied where they actually help your brand.
