Our Name
Mari + Gold is pronounced: Mar-Ee and Gold
Our name, Mari + Gold, represents all things that are joyous, fun, and sophisticated about the diverse industries we serve.
“Mari” is “sea” in Latin, and gold invokes feelings of the sun, warmth, happiness, and power. Combining these feelings with that of the sea, we feel that Mari + Gold pays tribute to our San Diego roots - invoking that vacation feeling, where it’s always 72 and sunny with a good time to be had.
