About Marketify
We build online visibility for businesses that deserve to be seen.
Marketify Inc. is a Raleigh, North Carolina fractional CMO and AI marketing partner for local businesses that are tired of opaque agencies and one-size-fits-all playbooks.
Our story
Born in Holly Springs. Built for businesses everywhere local matters.
Marketify started with a simple frustration: local business owners were paying $5K to $20K per month to agencies that couldn't explain what they actually did — and couldn't show results that moved the bottom line.
We're a small, senior team led by John TenBrink, a Northwestern Medill IMC graduate with 20+ years inside both Fortune 500 marketing departments and scrappy local growth teams. We bring big-agency thinking to businesses that need real partners, not slide decks.
The twist: we layer AI automation over everything we do. That's how we run a full local SEO, paid media, content, and CRO program for less than the cost of one in-house marketer — and ship faster than agencies five times our size.
What we believe
Four values. Zero exceptions.
Treat clients like family
Long-term wins beat one-time invoices. We're in it for the relationship, not the retainer.
AI-first, human-led
We automate the repetitive so our humans can do what humans do best: strategy and creative.
Exclusive by design
One client per category per market. Your strategy and wins belong to you alone.
The exclusive model
We never work with your direct competitors.
Most agencies sell the same playbook to every plumber in town. We pick one business per category per market and pour everything we have into making that one win.
When you sign with Marketify, your category in your market is locked. Forever, or as long as we work together.
- Your strategy never leaves the room.
- Your winning keywords stay yours.
- Your creative angles don't get recycled.
- Our team's incentives align 100% with your growth.
Leadership
Senior strategy on every account. Always.
You won't be passed to a junior account manager after the sales call. The people you meet are the people doing the work.
