Kirk Bates's Linkedin Analytics

Hello! I'm Kirk Bates, owner of Market 248, a Digital Marketing Agency in the Chattanooga TN area. I started this company 21 years ago as a graphic design agency. For about the first 11 years it was a one-man-show. Let me tell you, those were lean times! Then, I had a life-changing conversation with a good friend, who just happened to be a very successful serial entrepreneur. He told me that it was like I built a restaurant, and I was the host, the waiter, the cook and the busboy — and that no matter how hard I tried, (and I did try hard!) I would only be able to handle so much business. I have never forgotten that important conversation, and I am deeply grateful for my friend's wisdom. So, 10 years ago I decided that I needed to make a shift and bring on a team. That was one of the best business decisions I have ever made. Today, those original team members are still with me! And it’s a good thing we had a team because just 4 months later, our agency was named one of the TOP 5 SEO PROVIDERS IN THE COUNTRY by MOZ.com! Today, we specialize in helping our clients gain more online visibility, generate quality leads and make more sales, using SEO and PPC strategies. Our clients range from highly specialized doctors to the local yoga studio. We've also had the privilege of working with some of the nation’s largest providers of online education (both K-12 and college-level adult learning). We have exceled in this industry, so it has become a primary focus for us. Most of our clients have been with us 8 or more years. This is almost unheard of in our industry. So, why would our clients stay for such a long time? There are several reasons for this, but especially one big reason — we are POSITIVELY AFFECTING THEIR BOTTOM-LINE month after month. I believe another reason why our clients stay so long is because we provide transparent, informative monthly reports that keep our clients informed. They never have to wonder what we’re doing for them. We think that's the only way to do business. And we'd love to do the same for you! ……………………………………………………………………..
