A lot of folks think the the word cheap is, well, cheap. We don't mind it. Inexpensive? What about attractive pricing? The bottom line is, your bottom line is equally as important as the headline. Or the layout. The ad. Brochure. Website. Or tv spot. You get the idea.

When you work with us, you get a super-sincere, dedicated, creative group that's focused on strategic marketing for a great price. We’re stewards of your guarded marketing dollars. No tricks. There's no expensive buildings, trendy conference rooms, fancy furniture, or deco-overhead. And no layers—we actually answer the phones.

We'll meet you in the morning. We'll meet you at midnight. What's the secret of our success? Simply put, it's any project on which we are currently working. Staying hyper-focused on the day-to-day relationships that got us that project. Client referrals and comments mean everything to us.

Have a look around. Let us know what you think. We’re here to help! Maybe you’d just like a free lunch? Hey, that’s cool too.

Check out a sampling of our work and be sure to give a shout if you like what you see.
Happy scrolling!

We’ll work our butt off for you! The relationship is the lifeblood of our existance. We have this little test we call the Parking Lot Rule. After meeting with a potential client for the first time (before we get back in our car) we ask ourselves:

“Was there a spark? Can we work together for the long haul?”

And guess what? We expect you to ask the same questions of us!


We see ourselves as your long-term marketing partner. In the trenches. Always accessible. And while you won’t need a parking spot for us, you can expect a great relationship! There’s another word we like around here. It’s seasoned. Which translates into a whole lotta experience in your camp! Have you had our chili?

Our Report Card


What do our clients say?


"Smartguys helps define and refine our image with a personal and professional approach. They bring integrated marketing strategies to our practice. In addition to the day-to-day account management and creative services, we meet at least monthly and are always presented with high-quality, budget-conscious solutions. In fact, our website optimization and external advertising driving patients to our site has increased our awareness, while decreasing our costs. Smartguys is more than just an advertising agency, they are our partners in business."

Brian J. Lee, MD, FACS, Summit Plastic Surgery, PC


"They rock! I've worked with Smartguys since 2000, and every time they've gone to bat for us, we score. Their approach is fresh, creative, and original. Since they've handled our marketing, we've set a standard other health care companies are trying to imitate."

Maria Jackson, Director of Marketing, Summit Plastic Surgery, PC

 

"Smartguys is willing to meet at 7:00 a.m. for coffee or at 10:00 p.m. around my kitchen table - whatever it takes to get the job done. They have immersed themselves in my business in order to provide relevant solutions and excellent results. In fact, I have a lot of people noticing and commenting on my advertising. But Smartguys is so much more than an advertising agency. I consider them strategic partners in helping our company grow."

Bill Martin, Owner, Martin Goldstine Knapke


"You won't find another shop that's as creative, professional, and cost-effective as Smartguys. They have an uncanny knack for translating your left-brained ideas into right-brained brilliance. Remember that sign vendors sometimes show you? The one with a phrase at each point on a triangle - fast, low-cost, and high-quality? And how the vendor tells you to pick two? With Smartguys, you get all three. I don't know how they do it, day in and day out; I'm just glad I found them."

Joe Bellavance, CEO, NuFuels


"Working with Smartguys was one of the smartest business decisions I have ever made. They are more than creative, they are professionals who understand how to service their customers. They listen, they create, and they understand that your success is their success."

Jennifer Wright, Marketing Director, The Allergy and Asthma Center


"Our partnership with Smartguys is like having a marketing person on staff. They make sure our message is clear and effective. They also understand working within a budget - I always feel like we get good value from our marketing efforts."

Bob Mann, Owner, Summit City Bicycles & Fitness


"Smartguys is excellent to work with. They can create a clean and fresh new look with speed and efficiency. No matter the task, they are always professional."

Julianne Will, Director of Publications, Canterbury School


"Even though we were a small upstart, Smartguys made me feel like I was one of their biggest clients. They handled everything - from logo development to web design to media placement - to help establish my brand and get my business moving. They really are good at what they do."

Dan Morken, Owner, Apex Outfitters
