Local Marketing Agency Finds Exponential Growth During Pandemic

Earns ranking on the 2020 Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies in America

PHILADELPHIA, PA – August 12, 2020 — Locally based marketing firm, 215 Marketing, is making headway as a privately owned company thriving during the ongoing pandemic. As many businesses continue to feel the detrimental impact of COVID-19, 215 Marketing is continuing to grow despite the pandemic and attributes their success to always doing what is in the best interest of their clients, and their customized approach to marketing and advertising.  The company announced today that its ranking is 1582 on the 2020 Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing companies in America with 274% growth.

Armed with an immensely talented team of success-conscious individuals focused on customer service and results, 215’s ability to tailor their marketing solutions to the business goals of their clients coupled with their commitment to consistent client communication, ongoing education, and accurate performance reporting has contributed to the company’s seven-year success.  “Our growth has been rooted in helping our clients grow. Their success has poured the foundation for our success,” said Jon Vogel, co-founder, and Principal. “We pride ourselves on being certified industry leaders, and dedicate a tremendous amount of time to not only educating ourselves and our employees but making sure we educate our clients on the ‘why’ behind what we are doing,” says company co-founder and Principal, Garrett Gillan. “Helping our clients understand how marketing impacts and permeates the other core pillars of business, and vice-versa, is key.”

Among 215 Marketing’s business successes during the current pandemic include:

• Relocating to a new, 3600 sq. ft. office space in Billy Penn Studios
• Keeping all staff employed throughout the pandemic (12 employees); purchasing new laptops and monitors for employees to enhance their work from home environment and increase efficiency
• Maintaining flexibility with clients both from a billing and tactical marketing perspective
• Taking advantage of the down market to find opportunities for clients
• 274% Growth

215 Marketing has proven to be an industry leader by making the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s privately-owned companies. The ranking is based on company revenue and represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment, its independent small businesses.
