Philly Phounded — Building Connection Through Media

At EightSteel, we believe that connection is the foundation of progress — and that begins with our roots in Philadelphia. Our city has always been home to innovators, creators, and small businesses with big visions, and we’re here to help those visions take shape.

We’re a media company dedicated to helping businesses — both here in Philly and around the world — look and feel official without breaking their budget. From branding and content to storytelling and strategy, we handle every aspect of what makes a brand stand out, so small businesses don’t have to compete on uneven ground with multi-million-dollar corporations.

Our mission is simple: to make professional, high-quality creative services accessible, authentic, and human. We exist to help our clients grow, connect, and be seen — not just as businesses, but as part of a larger community.

This blog is one way we’re putting that mission into motion. Here, you’ll find:

• Community highlights showcasing the people and businesses shaping Philadelphia and beyond.

• Open discussions and journalism exploring creativity, entrepreneurship, and local-to-global growth.

• Research, insights, and submissions from contributors who share our goal of connection through storytelling.

• Updates and collaborations that show how media can bring people, industries, and ideas together.

We’re proud to be Philly Phounded — built from the spirit of a city that never stops pushing forward, and open to anyone, anywhere, who believes in creativity with purpose.

Welcome to EightSteel. Let’s build something that lasts — together.
