Leading Marketing Agency Introduces a Fresh Identity to Help Franchise and Consumer Brands Drive Growth Through Integrated Solutions

RALEIGH, N.C. (Oct. 1, 2025) — Fish 919, a long-standing leader in franchise marketing, has rebranded as Tidehouse, unveiling a fresh identity that reflects its evolution into a forward-looking, full-service marketing partner for both franchise systems and consumer brands.

The name Tidehouse is a modern nod to the original “tied house” model, which pioneered the franchise concept by linking independent operators under one brand. “Tide” evokes motion, freshness, and scale; “House” anchors the brand in hospitality, humanity, and stability. Together, the new name signals a shift toward full-funnel strategic guidance, improved cross-department integration, and refined reporting with proactive, data-driven recommendations. Tidehouse’s new tagline, “Strategy in motion. Stories that rise,” also captures the agency’s ability to build frameworks for the fast, complex franchising and marketing landscapes – helping brands align internal teams, turn insight into action and build belief through tailored storytelling that resonates with target audiences.

“For over 20 years, franchising has been our niche, and in that time, we’ve seen consumer expectations shift, digital marketing reimagine itself, and franchise development tactics evolve,” said Greg Morrell, President of Tidehouse. “We knew it was time to evolve, too. This rebrand is all about learning how to change with the tides to ensure that we, and our clients, stay strong, relevant, and connected across every touchpoint and community we serve.”

As a full-service agency, Tidehouse offers integrated marketing solutions, including:

  • Public relations & influencer marketing
  • Lead generation and conversion
  • Website design and development
  • Digital marketing campaigns
  • Franchise development strategy
  • Email marketing & CRM optimization
  • Content creation & SEO
  • Video production
  • Creative services

Whether it’s revitalizing legacy brands, scaling emerging franchises, or supporting individual franchisees and nonprofits, Tidehouse is building integrated roadmaps that unify messaging and accelerate growth.
