I work with Shift (Solar & Energy Storage Installer) and I had a great experience working with Major Tom on our brand refresh and new website. Their team is knowledgable, thoughtful, supportive, and I feel they personally and genuinely want us to succeed as a business. Shout out to Nathalie! They made me feel like a priority during any request, and delivered a polished functional design and UX that feels both national and locally grounded, exactly what we asked for. Communication was strong throughout, and they were quick to find solutions when challenges came up, as they inevitably do. Thank you, Major Tom! Highly Recommend!

I've worked with Major Tom for just over 10 years in varying capacities across their Paid Media and Social Media teams. I've always enjoyed very positive working relationships, and they have offered great value and strategic guidance to media campaigns. They always add valuable insights into the data and make recommendations to improve overall strategy. It's always felt like a strong strategic partnership and they seem to have a positive working culture. Would highly recommend them as a media partner.

Direct Marketing Review from Daniel Tashnek
We hired Spot On just as we were starting to pivot to a direct-to-market sales model in a crowded field. Our software was much more comprehensive and feature-rich than the competition, but we were still worried that we would get drowned out by established products. As Spot On has helped us become more prominent in our niche, we have seen significantly more organic customer leads coming into our website.
Digital Marketing Review from Jake Behnke
I never felt like our company wasn’t a priority when I worked with Spot On in the past. And now at Cureatr, I was a marketing team of one until October 2018. So, from the beginning I knew I wanted to work with an agency that felt like an extension of the company and worked more as a partner than simply as a vendor. I needed a team I knew would be attentive, available, and dependable; and above all else, a team that I could count on to move quickly and deliver results. People who don't work in marketing often expect that you can bring in a marketing manager and agency and immediately see overnight results, which is never the case. Spot On did a great job of executing on strategy, and we're now seeing those results: increased traffic, conversion rates, and sales qualified leads.
Direct Marketing Review from Elise Paul
Spot On's insight, ideas, and dedication to helping our business grow have really made a difference. They have especially helped produce exceptional content that resonates with our target audience, which is notable as finding good, niche healthcare writers is difficult.

After many months of "testing", and a lot of $$ later, they actually decreased our CVR substantially.

I was very excited to find a Rochester agency that could build my brand and website when starting my company. I had met with a number of different website developers, graphic designers, programmers from all over the world. As a solo entrepreneur, I would have been managing 2-3 people to build out the branding and website. Instead, Brandmint’s team worked to build the brand and I only had to manage/communicate my vision to them. They are an agency that I can grow into their full suite of services. It saves me time having a one stop shop. The Brandmint team is an incredible local asset and I am excited to work with them on future projects.

Content marketing can help you shape a brand voice people can recognize.
The point is to get clear on what you want to be known for, convey that narrative into brand values, and keep publishing useful content around it until you become the main source of information to the target audience.
That only works when the content has real value, because consistency on its own does not build recognition if the material feels generic.
In that regard, having a content marketing company on board will help you establish a structure and make sure the topics and distribution support the same brand position.
That kind of support has quantifiable returns. Namely, B2B research shows that 87% of marketers said content marketing helped create brand awareness, while 74% said it helped generate demand and leads.
It also helps companies maintain momentum, as businesses with blogs have been found to generate 67% more monthly leads than businesses without them.
When hiring a B2B content marketing agency, the main thing to assess is whether they can bring commercial relevance to the work.
Here are some aspects to consider throughout the process:
Weak agencies tend to reveal their mishaps in the gaps between what they promise and how they explain the work. Here are some warning signs to look out for:
We compiled a list of top content marketing agencies across different price points so you can find a candidate that is within your spending expectations:

Content marketing companies create and distribute digital content intended to inform, attract, engage, retain, and inspire action across target audiences. The main goal of their produced work is to drive greater brand awareness, boost organic traffic and SEO rankings, and guide prospects through the buyer's journey to ultimately increase leads and sales.
Key services provided by content marketing agencies include:
Across the US, a content marketing company usually charges between $100 to $500 per 1000-word post.For social media content, the price usually goes between $50 and $150 per post.
The final price can vary based on a combination of factors:
Short, standard articles can take an experienced writer 1 to 3 hours to write, while research-heavy pieces may require over 10 hours. Same as with pricing, the topic complexity and research requirements affect the writing time as well.
In general, seasoned writers can produce 500 words in 30 to 60 minutes, while for the same work, a beginner might need 2 to 3 hours or more.
Here are some average time estimates by content type:
Small businesses, startups, expanding brands, and companies looking to set or correct a brand image benefit the most from a content marketing collaboration.
Businesses starting from the ground up benefit a lot from a content marketing agency as it maps out a clear strategy and builds an audience from day one. Companies dealing with a bad reputation or a complex rebranding phase also see considerable returns, as a good agency can use honest storytelling to fix misconceptions and win back trust.
At the same time, if a brand is entering a new market or launching a unique product line, specialized content helps them spread the message more easily by producing pieces in the local language.
Content marketing follows a more extended trajectory as it takes time for search engines to recognize and rank the content. As the content library expands and gains credibility, brands start to see incremental growth in 3 to 6 months.
The same goes for social media: as content compounds and reaches more people, the organic traffic gets steadier and lead generation efforts start gaining more traction.
Content marketing is the substance, i.e., the strategy of creating value to build a relationship with the intended audience. SEO is the visibility or the technical process of making that value discoverable by search engines.
Essentially, they are two sides of the same coin: SEO makes demands (keywords, structure), and content marketing fulfills them.
Across both practices, quality comes first. Namely, if the piece is optimized for a search engine but fails against the intent of the reader, the content will eventually lose its rank because it lacks topical authority.
