About HachiMedia

Built by people who've lived it.

HachiMedia is a minority-owned digital marketing agency with US-Japan cross-cultural roots. We started this firm because we'd watched too many small businesses get marketing that didn't understand their story, didn't honor their community, and didn't move the needle. So we built the agency we'd want as a client.

Dr. DhruBee — Founder of HachiMedia

Amplifying Voices That Deserve to Be Heard

HachiMedia LLC was founded with a clear purpose: to give minority-owned businesses access to the same caliber of marketing that drives major brands. We understand the challenges because we have lived them.

The name "Hachi" carries deep meaning. In Japanese, it means "eight" — a number that symbolizes luck, prosperity, and infinite growth. That cultural lens informs everything we build: the precision of our strategy, the intentionality of our design, and the respect we bring to every brand story. HachiMedia bridges Japanese design philosophy with American market dynamics to create marketing that resonates across cultures.

Our mission is to amplify your unique story, connect you with the communities that matter, and build marketing strategies that deliver measurable results. We pledge transparency and integrity in every project we take on.

Meet the Founder

Dr. Dhru Bee

Founder & Creative Director, HachiMedia LLC

Dr. Dhru Bee is a digital marketing strategist, photographer, and community advocate whose cross-cultural background bridges Japanese precision and American entrepreneurial energy. After years of watching small businesses — especially minority-owned brands — struggle with agencies that didn't understand their story, he founded HachiMedia to change that. The name itself reflects his philosophy: "Hachi" means eight in Japanese, symbolizing prosperity and infinite possibility. His approach combines creative vision with data-driven strategy, and his commitment to community shows in everything HachiMedia does — from the content we create to the quarterly profits we reinvest in Black and Brown small businesses.
