BrainBox Intelligent Marketing

BRAINBOX Intelligent Marketing is an experiential and digital marketing company based in Lexington, Kentucky with a 20 year record of connecting brands with their target audience. We’ve become experts at adapting to new trends and technology to help our clients thrive, no matter their industry.

BRAINBOX (then iHigh.com) was founded by Rick Ford and Tim Campbell as an offshoot of Host Communications, a national leader in Collegiate Sports Marketing. In 1999, Ford and Campbell, then Host employees and developers of the first NCAA Final Four, SEC and several university websites, proposed the idea of aggregating content and traffic for all of the high schools in the country on one central website in partnership with the National Federation of High Schools.

All this was four years before the founding of Myspace and five years before Facebook.

It was this big picture, forward thinking that allowed this internet startup to adapt and thrive long after the dotcom bubble burst.
