We just crossed the 8 year mark at VIE Media. When I came onboard almost 7 years ago, I moved back home into my parents basement in order to make this happen. It was the hardest decision I made up to that point in my life. When I made that decision, I had no idea that we'd become a successful digital marketing agency, especially in the wake of everyone and their cousin saying they perform marketing services. We started by only offering social media marketing services (this is how most marketing companies at least used to start), then we transitioned into focusing on providing a direct ROI for our clients. We did this by hammering down on intent based marketing. This means that if someone is searching for your product or service, let's make sure you are showing up on Google and the other search engines for that. We grew by focusing directly on SEO, Google Ads and Web Design. We now focus on everything from a digital marketing perspective for business owners and marketing executives. Depending on the company, goals, marketing budget, etc. we craft tailored solutions for each of our clients (reviews speak for themselves). Our future goal for VIE Media was to use it as a marketing company to grow other businesses that we own. This turned into us starting our holding company as well as West County Insulation. I'm excited for the what the future holds and I am glad to have a great team and partners next to me. P.S. Don't forget to show support for the podcast, search The. St. Louis Brand as I'm unable to tag.
