History
Internet pioneers and mainstays.
Established in 1995, just as companies began migrating online, Kinetic Communications provided consulting and development services to early corporate adopters of digital marketing and multimedia.
Kinetic was the first studio of its kind within the state and surrounding areas to offer in-house development and integration of three electronic media: Internet applications, video production and interactive programming. Founder Jay Brandrup named his new company Kinetic, inspired by the energy of movement, both physical and psychological. From the beginning, Jay's healthy respect for incorporating "fun" attitudes and atmosphere into the business has nurtured growth and success.
In the wild years since, the Internet has boomed, busted and resurged again. And Kinetic has consistently flourished, helping major corporations with interactive projects, from Alabama Power and Southern Progress to Compass Bank and Bayer Properties.
From a desire to contribute to the greater Birmingham community, Kinetic maintains the Greater Birmingham Convention & Visitors Bureau website promoting travel to Birmingham. Other nonprofit community projects include development of the websites of the Alabama Ballet, the Birmingham Zoo, the Cultural Alliance of Greater Birmingham and the Vulcan Park Foundation, among others.
