Ambit Media Company

How we spend our money matters! When we choose to shop locally, most of those dollars are reinvested back into our local community. When we choose give our dollars to billionaires, they use that dollar in ways most of us wouldn’t like. Or they don’t use it at all, leaving the rest of us to fight over a smaller supply of resources. The key here is that we have a choice. 🛒 Instead of shopping on Amazon, choose to shop at cause-cart. 🥯 Instead of getting your bagels from a chain, choose to support Mogi bagel. ☕️ Instead of getting a coffee at Starbucks, choose to drink coffee at Yellowbird, Bichota, Wild Grind, or any number of local coffee shops. When you need to make a purchase, choose to shop locally using Ambit to influence your decision. Discover over 200 new businesses, follow your favorites, and know what they’re doing for our community… all in one platform! Choose to shop local… because your dollar goes further when spent locally!

Simply put, Ambit is on a mission to help locals be more connected to their IRL community, and it starts with supporting small businesses. Humans always have been and always will be a social species, but we’ve lost touch with our communities. We’ve replaced our in-person interactions for digital connections. We show support through “like” buttons instead of embracing one another. We let algorithms dictate the content we see instead of exploring new perspectives. And we hide behind screens and keyboards instead of looking one another in the eye during a tough conversation. While there’s no turning back from the digital age, the internet should bring us closer together - not drive us further apart and polarize us. Ambit’s goal is simple… Our online community should improve our offline community, not replace it. Ambit is built out of a belief that the internet can be used to physically bring people closer together and deeper our bond with the community. We’d love for you to come along with us on the journey. Join the Ambit community at munity. I love you, Minnesota!
