Industry experts. Brand growers. Business builders.
A client once told us, in sharing his thanks for the completion of another successful project, "you're not like any other agency—you're more like the 'un-agency.'" For MarketPlace, the "agency" moniker never quite fit. Yes, we create logos and ad campaigns, we build websites and environmental designs, we produce video and photography. We are creative, but we do more than create.
We started as a consultancy founded by two passionate food industry veterans and, over the past 15+ years, grew to a full-service brand development firm with deep expertise in B2B and B2C food and beverage, pet and animal, and health and wellness markets. Since the beginning, our clients have echoed the same sentiment: they trust us to know their industry, know their audience, and produce beautiful, compelling work that is driven by strategy and begets results. They take comfort in our ability to develop strategy suited to their business objectives and brand, knowing that we can be entrusted to drive these initiatives so that they are freed up to drive others.
For some clients, we operate as the marketing arm of their businesses, developing and implementing comprehensive marketing plans. For others, we're a strategic powerhouse with the expertise and agility to adeptly tackle high-stakes opportunities and challenges with minimal direction and time. We "get" our customers' industries because they're our industries, too. We're at your trade shows, relating to your customers, and aware of the challenges and opportunities faced by food, pet, and supplement brands. Our immersion in a customer's business and industry is foundational to the success of these efforts. Whether developing a pitch for a customer's key account meeting or developing and implementing a transparency strategy, we approach all projects with the same driving conviction: strategy is pointless without creation and creative is empty without strategy.
From brand creation and development to sales conversion, we grow your business through strategy, branding, and nurturing, delivering creative solutions focused on tangible goals.
