Spokane’s Rainmaker Creative adding a Silicon Valley office

Spokane marketing and design firm Rainmaker Creative is opening an office in Silicon Valley.

Company co-owner Billie Gaura said the firm’s Cupertino, California, office will open in September, starting with two employees.

It will be an extension of the main office in Spokane, at 107 S. Cedar Ave. Started eight years ago, Rainmaker has 11 employees.

The California office will provide a location for Silicon Valley clients to meet directly with Rainmaker’s team, Gaura said.

The company’s target customers are small businesses with five to 15 employees, Gaura said.

Alexis Roizen, Rainmaker’s creative director, will lead the new office.  For the first several months Gaura will work at both offices.
