WHY MARKETING GUARDIANS?
Want effective marketing thatsaves you timeexplains what you dogenerates more leadscreates bigger impactjust simply works?

Marketing Guardians is a subscription-based, full-service strategic marketing, creative agency that specializes in using the power of story to help your company grow. After all who wants marketing that’s a continuous source of frustration and doubt. We help businesses clarify their message, building the right marketing pieces that just plain work!

We’re fueled by relationships, not in a superficial marketing lingo way but in a real family-style, we’re in this together – way. We believe that true Marketing is a relationship – people do business with people they trust, and they trust people they are in a relationship with. We choose to be an extension of your team rather than be seen as an outsourced marketing team. We don’t just want to be the fix for just one problem but want to support your long-term strategic growth. To do this we want to work with you and not just for you.

We believe that your marketing should deliver results. We understand what it feels like to be frustrated by marketing that doesn’t work. That’s why for the last 12 years, we’ve been helping leaders create marketing that builds their company. We know that you want to be successful, but in order to do that, you need marketing that grows your company. Most people just throw money into marketing, hoping it will work. There is a better way.

Creating a winning strategy can be difficult. We’re huge fans of a process called StoryBrand (developed by Donald Miller); it’s a proven 7-part process that we use to create a marketing strategy that works. The process was developed to build relationships with customers so they want to buy from you. We don’t just want to tell your story, we want to invite your customers into the story – the problem is that most times we’re not telling the story in the way customers are tuned to hear. With a clear message and framework to follow, effective marketing becomes really simple. After all, people don’t buy products and services, they buy transformation.

 

Speaking of buying from you, our goal as an agency is to be your ultimate marketing support team. We’ll never lead with solutions that you should pursue, instead, we lead with active listening and inquiry. We listen to you and your story, your successes, the work that is meaningful and excites you and then to your pain points. We listen first to connect, and then to create new possibilities.

 

We help established companies nail brand story strategy. You’re looking for more sales, more visibility, more leads, more brand clarity – getting your story down paves the way. Your brand story is the “soul” of your business and your greatest marketing asset. If this makes us a B2C or B2B corporate storytelling company, then great. We use your story to make your brand memorable, as our mission is to build inspired trust between you and your audience.

 

We want to create a marketing presence that influences, a brand that connects, and collateral that converts. – We’ve combined strategy, creativity, technology, messaging, and design & development into a streamlined process specifically for small businesses. No fluff and complications, just a company poised for growth.

YOUR STORY MATTERS

It’s easy to forget that, although you’re marketing your products and services to other businesses, you’re still selling to human beings.

Here’s why your story really matters

  • Story has a better chance of putting your company in long-term memory instead of being discarded like thousands of other data points we receive every day
  • Your content aligns with your messaging
  • You have more in common with your customers
  • Conversations ignite
  • Increased web traffic – data analytics are up!
  • More new leads because relationships are building
  • Your company has a higher valuation – it’s stronger
  • You’re building community
  • Your internal storytelling has people jazzed to be working together
  • Industry influencers remember you to refer business
  • Finally, your mission becomes more clear
  • You don’t need a suggestion box – people are sharing ideas

Brand storytelling and story marketing is the future of marketing, so you have to make your marketing tell a story.

  • Your culture is shaping up
  • Work is a happier place – people understand their critical contribution to the company’s story
HERE'S THE MARKETING GUARDIANS STORY

Born out of a desire to build your legacy through creativity, story, strategy and great marketing.

Marketing Guardians was started by Melissa and Stephen Ramkissoon because they care about small business owners like the ones that have inspired them to go into entrepreneurship themselves. Marketing Guardians was born out of a desire to build companies through creativity, story, strategy and great marketing. It was born out of a desire to build teams that become a second family, where people from diverse backgrounds and stories, can find home, fulfillment, respect, appreciation and support in a way that they never knew they could expect out of a job. It was born out of a desire to pursue marketing through relationships, where a client becomes a friend.

What’s in the name? Well, we think every company deserves protection, more-so, every company has a brand and that brand should be guarded, protected and fought for. So let’s define it, your brand refers to the perception customers have about that product or service. As a marketing agency, we want to protect and build your brand. Our logo contains a Phoenix. The Phoenix symbolizes a rebirth or rise from the ashes as a better stronger version and that’s what we want for all the clients we’ve ever partnered with – to see them evolve into an even better version than they previously envisioned. So the name and logo represent us fighting for your brand as we protect the process of your company’s growth into its best version yet.
