What would it be like to know precisely where your business is right now? Know what your customers are thinking? Where they’re going? What they’re looking for?
It would be like having a GPS for your business. Just turn it on, and map out a route to success.
At Metrix Marketing, we call that market intelligence. And starting a marketing campaign before you have some just isn’t smart.
Call us to learn how we can put market intelligence to work for your business.
About Us
Metrix is a full-service advertising agency. But, really, that label doesn’t do us justice.
For some clients, our relationship is that of a traditional advertising agency, where we’re asked to execute specific advertising tasks. We do that and do it well and would be happy to do it for you.
But for some clients, our role is more akin to an external marketing department. We work with them from the ground up, with planning, strategy, and execution. For other clients, we put staff in the field, meeting with their prospective customers, making the case for the client directly.
Whatever your needs—from market research, strategic planning, advertising, public relations, guerrilla marketing, media buying—we’ll work with you to achieve your marketing objectives.
The Founding of Metrix
Metrix Marketing was founded by John Riley in January 2002. John, who had a successful career as a reporter in Ohio and New York, shifted his professional path to start a family. He then served as the Director of Communications and Special Events for Monroe County, NY. Over nine years, John’s deepening passion for marketing, especially the research aspect which leveraged his journalistic skills, became evident. Upon leaving the county, he established Metrix Marketing to continue his marketing endeavors. John’s unique approach and vision are key factors in transforming Metrix from a conventional advertising agency to the bespoke services agency it is today.
John advocated strongly for billing transparency at Metrix, a principle he deemed crucial. Having been on the client side for many years, he understood the need to differentiate Metrix from traditional firms. This led to a project-based billing approach, moving away from the typical hourly rates, which he felt amounted to nickel-and-diming clients. John’s tenure as CEO and Creative Director was marked by his leadership through early financial challenges, the transition from traditional to social media advertising, and the establishment of Metrix as a successful company.
John’s willingness to embrace new technology and stay ahead of trends was instrumental in shaping Metrix’s culture. This legacy of innovation and forward-thinking continues to drive Metrix today, as we uphold the Metrix Promise.
When we make recommendations about how to market your business, we’ll back them up with evidence. Facts. Data. You have the right to a marketing campaign that’s based on what we know to be true, not what we assume. When you know where you started, it’s easier to measure how far you’ve come.
You Call, We Answer
We promise that you’ll get attentive, accessible client service. You call us, we get back to you, usually right away. You’ll also have your account executive’s cell phone number. This is the 21st Century, after all.
No Billing Surprises
Surprises can be fun. At birthday parties. Not when you get a bill from your advertising agency. When you get your bill from Metrix, there will be no surprises. That’s because we quote you a price in advance, and stick with it. When you call us to ask a question, it won’t cost you another hundred bucks, either. We like talking to our clients. We don’t want the billing to be a roadblock.
World Class Creative
We are absolutely dedicated to the idea that every piece of creative work that comes from Metrix will have top production values. Top creative thinking. Top execution. Your advertising or print material is often the first impression your prospective customer gets from you. And like Grandma used to say, “You never get a second chance to make a good first impression.”
Advertising sized to fit
Every business owner has been there. You think you’re communicating to a vendor until the bid comes in, then there’s shock and awe at a proposal sized to fit a multi-national corporation. We don’t deal in one-size-fits-all solutions. We tailor your proposal to you and what you have to spend. We give you advertising that is right-sized.
