We’re here to uncloud brands. To free them from trying to be something they’re not. The thing most brands are chasing is the thing they already have. They just don’t know how to express it. That’s where we come in. Our strategy is creative and our creative is strategic. Our media tells a brand story while helping to sell its product. And every single thing we do, every brand we work with, and every person we hire is smart, good, and brave.

The Department of Marketing

Raleigh, United States · 11 people · Est. 2004

The Department of Marketing is not for everybody. We know your company wants more sales, and you want them now. We can help, but we don't specialize in sales. We specialize in establishing your company as a thought leader, and educator, and reputable partner in your space. And that just doesn't happen overnight. It takes getting to know your business and your goals to create a custom-fit strategy. Marketing without a strategy is just “stuff.” At the heart of leading companies large and small are documented strategies. The DofM can help with a single small project or step in as your entire “department of marketing.” (See what we did there?) Whether it's old-school print and direct mail or the latest in content marketing and UI/UX development, we’ll make sure it’s the right approach for your business. We take the time to understand the three Cs: company, customer, and competition. From there we create smart content, using best-of-breed marketing automation software to create leads and increased awareness. We pay close attention to the metrics and fully disclose them to our clients. We've received more than 40 awards for our work, and we're proud of the long-term relationships we've built with our clients and their businesses both here in Raleigh and beyond. Marketing does not have to be expensive, and it is not a black hole if you choose the right partner. Our clients understand there is a better way than continued marketing “stuff.” Get a free website analysis, digital marketing health report, or learn more about how we can help you ‘Market to Make It’ at TheDofM.com.
