Let us explain why our 20 years experience and local ties to the Cleveland & Northeast Ohio community helps us understand your business easier.
Because we know Cleveland businesses and we know what works.
Look, Cleveland’s got plenty of marketing agencies. But here’s the thing, some of them are either too big to care about your business or too small to get real results.
We’re right in that sweet spot where we actually know what we’re doing and we treat your success like it’s our own.
We didn’t start yesterday, and we didn’t learn marketing from a YouTube video. Our team has been helping small and medium-sized businesses grow since before “digital marketing” was even a thing.
We know what it’s like when your marketing budget has to work harder than ever.
We don’t waste your time on trends that don’t work. We’ve seen them all come and go.
We know the Northeast Ohio and the national market inside and out. Your customers, your competitors, your challenges.
We understand small and medium sized business budgets. Every dollar has to count, and we make sure it does.
Sure, we could work with businesses anywhere. But there’s something to be said for knowing your market.
When you work with us, you’re not getting cookie-cutter strategies built for generic businesses. You’re getting marketing that’s built for your market, your customers, and your goals.
We don’t chase vanity metrics or sell you on “brand awareness” campaigns that don’t move the needle. We focus on what matters: more leads, more customers, more revenue. Period.
Our approach is simple: if it doesn’t help your bottom line, we don’t do it. We help businesses grow by focusing on what actually works, not what sounds impressive in a meeting.
Let’s talk about how we can help your business grow. No sales pitch, no fluff—just a straight conversation about what you need and how we can help.

I had the pleasure of working with Brett and 216 Marketing while managing an electronics accessories brand for a national telecom distributor. Having partnered with Brett before, I knew I could trust him to deliver results—and he absolutely did. His sound advice, deep expertise in SEO and SEM, and strategic guidance helped us cut through a highly competitive category. Brett’s execution of Google Ads, keyword strategy, and analytics was seamless and impactful, providing immediate lift in traffic, rankings, and—most importantly—conversions. He’s not only highly skilled, but also collaborative and proactive, making it easy to trust his recommendations. 216 Marketing proved to be a key partner in our digital growth, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Brett to anyone needing a reliable, ROI-focused digital marketing strategist. His work speaks for itself, and the results we saw in such a short time speak volumes about his capabilities.Posted on Google![]()

I engaged 216 Marketing at the end of 2019 and experienced positive SEO results almost immediately. Brett is awesome. The thing I have appreciated the most is that Brett walked me through why things like a website refresh & domain transfer before the SEO began in earnest were so important - his suggestions and work have been completely on-point and everything is going really well. No drama or pushy customer service - Brett is simply interested in helping you and your business and offers helpful suggestions along the way.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
