Data
Data is the driving force that shapes strategy and design for campaigns to stay relevant. But data can be overwhelming without the proper guidance.

Our clients and prospects don’t want to be sold.They want to buy, so we need to able to inform them, educate them and help them make the choice to buy.
Fundraising & Marketing

About us
The Digital Marketing Shop: A Virtual Agency For The 21st century
The Digital Marketing Shop is a Virtual Agency built to deliver Big Agency Thinking; Big Agency Creative; Big Agency Data Analytics... Without The Big Agency. We are all aware of the pressure organizations are under to streamline and become more cost efficient. Big agencies have been buckling under the weight of massive overhead and told by clients, both global and domestic, to find efficiencies. We did! The new “gig” economy has absorbed many who have left the big global agencies. We weren’t the first pioneers in the virtual work world, but we saw firsthand the many benefits to our clients and our teams by going this route. Our virtual staff is hands on with every project, supervising and quality controlling every aspect. We go to client meetings, make presentations and do creative briefs, but because our overhead is low, we don’t charge like an agency using senior staff. Our clients get industry veterans with an extensive knowledge of the old way, the new way, and the way of the future. Technology made a virtual agency possible and will make many new and uncharted processes and strategies possible in the future. We spend the time and energy to become experts in technology and use it for innovation.
