OUR EXPERIENCE
We left Google to start Foghorn Labs with the goal of helping the best brands in the outdoor and active-lifestyle industry become even better.
We used our expertise to develop, implement and manage integrated marketing campaigns for our clients. So many of our clients come to us, not knowing there’s a smarter, better way. We love showing our fellow members of the outdoor tribe how to accelerate e-commerce growth and direct sales, manage digital campaigns, SEM, SEO, social-media marketing, display advertising and web analytics.
Our Values
- We are committed to differentiating ourselves from traditional agencies.
- We strive to be the best at what we do rather than pretend to be all things to all clients.
- We seek continued growth, but only take on projects that are a mutual fit.
- We applaud thought leadership and innovation in the online marketing industry.
- We recognize that results and happy clients are the keys to a sustainable business.
