The 50 Fastest-Growing Digital Ad Agencies in Philadelphia

They say that a picture’s worth a thousand words, but sometimes a well-placed quote says everything. Here’s one such quote about Philadelphia –

“I see far stronger and more charismatic personalities strolling around Philadelphia’s neighborhoods than are being featured in most of today’s bland daytime soaps.” – Camille Paglia

One movie that quintessentially defines the character of this city is Rocky by Sylvester Stallone.

“Going in one more round when you don’t think you can – that’s what makes all the difference in your life.”                                                                                                                                                                                                        – Rocky Balboa

“The Italian Stallion”!

Were it not for that colorful nickname, Creed would have picked some other lethargic bum for a tune-up, sending him back to the Philly ratholes from whence he came. But the 50-1 underdog is both the perfect foil and the true embodiment of the American spirit — all determination and grit.

Yes, our man Balboa loses on points, but the fact that he goes the distance when nobody believed he could suggests a dignity. Rocky at one point has accepted that he won’t be able to defeat his mighty opponent but swears to fight him until the end, the 15th round. He does this to prove to himself and the world that he’s worth something. The fight is ugly, it is war but Rocky’s indomitable spirit wins over the Philly crowd who by now are now chanting his name. Despite losing in the end, Rocky proves what he was set out to prove- that he was made of steel.

Nothing defines the Philly spirit more than Rocky does. His journey in a way is symbolic of the transformation of the city as well. The quintessential underdog, Rocky believes in getting the work done and giving it his all.  He falls, he loses, he gets discouraged but never does he give up. More than his stature or his boxing skills, it’s the heart of this character that draws you. Philadelphia also struggled the same way to become a thriving city known for brotherly love.

The birthplace of the US Constitution, Philly is today a hotbed of cultural diversity. According to Forbes, Philadelphia is one of the ten happiest cities for young professionals. And why would it not be, the city has so much to offer – plenty of opportunities, sports (the fans here are the most loyal fans you’ll ever meet), a great arts scene and fantastic food (ever heard of the Philly cheesesteak!). Philly has something for everyone.

And this is what Peter McAndrews had to say about Philly – “New York is a place where people go to reinvent themselves; Philadelphia is a place where people discover who they are.”

This great city has also given birth to incredible digital ad agencies that share the discipline, determination, and perseverance of the city. Fast 50 is a definitive listing of the fastest growing digital ad agencies in Philadelphia.

“ Q: Let’s say Seer was no longer. What would you do instead?

A: I probably would become a concierge. I love my city. I love Philly. It’s just now starting to be recognized as a great place to be. I’m such a cheerleader for Philly, and I love watching people enjoy themselves!”

                                                                                                                    – Wil Reynolds, Founder, SEER Interactive

Bulldog Tenacity. Zealous Curiosity.

The people at Pavone are fiercely loyal, tenacious and fearless. What’s more is that they even have a wonderful pet Bulldog who shares these qualities. In 2013, they surprised the adworld in the way they put up their ad asking for hires in NewYork. “Hipsters Wanted” was the headline and the requirements were proven dumbo experience preferred as is “sarcasm and upper middle-class terminology. This raised a few eye-brows in New York but it certainly worked. Pavone managed to hire six new senior creative leaders from this advertising Mecca. The work-force here is now a formidable mix of wall street smart and street smart.

Pavone’s client roster includes names such as Pocono Raceway, Healthy PA, WXPN, Donate Life, Holy Spirit – A Geisinger Affiliate, Fulton Financial Corporation and Pennsylvania Utility Commission (PUC) among others.

“Truth is, a good agency can help you get to know yourself better. And knowing what you do best helps you build better relationships with your customers. The kind of relationships that turn impulse buys into lasting brand loyalty. The kind of loyalty we like to call love!”

And LevLane has definitely received some love over its 32 year old running period in Philly. Bruce Lev is driven by one question “Who loves ya?”. He wants people to feel the love because brands that don’t get love don’t become stronger brands. He would know since he has worked with numerous national brands in three decades.  The art of matchmaking between an audience and a brand, he calls it.

At Levlane, they understand that you won’t always come as a polished product and that a lot of research and work will have to go into making your brand shine. They’re more than happy to get to know you and then apply their expertise.

Online video featuring real students was placed on sites like Hulu and Comedy Central. In the end, open house registrations jumped 77% and applications for 2014 were up 5.7%.

The CEO Bill Gast, is a formidable mix of creative, marketing and business expertise because he went to both art and business school. This perhaps best defines Mangos too. It is an amalgam of both the creative and the business acumen of its people.

Their online engagements begin by asking simple questions: What is the best way to reach the target and how can they motivate people to take action? By combining timeless brand messaging strategies with proven best practices, they can deliver your message to any platform or device.

Some of their biggest clients include Cannondale Bicycles, Don Rosen Imports (Porsche/Audi/Volkswagen), Firstrust Bank, Lehigh Valley Health Network, Main Line Health among many others.

9. 1SEO

“Our values are the foundation of the accomplishments of our company, describe who we are and set us apart from the competition. These values underlie all of our business decisions, our work ethic, our strategies, actions and our behaviors.”

Since, setting up shop in 2009 with just two employees, Lance Bachmann (the President) has turned 1SEO.com, a privately held company, into a multi-million dollar business and nationally recognized digital ad agency. And all of this is attributed to their values! What are these values you ask?

• Customer Satisfaction
• Honesty and Transparency
• Quest to Supremacy
• Innovation
• Originality

“Every individual at our company is personally driven to perform at the highest level. Each of our clients is provided with the highest level of personal and professional service. Every company we work with can expect a custom-built SEO marketing initiative that fits the size, scope and reach of the company.”, says Bachmann.

At 1SEO.com, the strategy employed in the process of helping their clients realize their potential involves concentrating on a particular segment and setting a strong foothold in that area.Take Marvel Optics for instance: the main goal of their program was to be noticed and gain an online presence. In a short 8 months, Marvel Optics went from less than 1,164 visits per month to over 8,198, an increase of more than 581%.

They work with the clients at every step of the process, whether they are creating a new website, designing a PPC campaign, need to increase a site’s ranking in customer searches through SEO, or need all of the associated activities involved in internet marketing initiatives.

With a diverse clientele that include Mark Jewelers, OptionMint, Peruzzi auto group etc. 1SEO is listed as one of the top 10 SEO companies in the world. Their USP, we would say, is their knowledge of technology and the interaction between all of the various platforms and how to take advantage of these interactions to create a “buzz” about a company.

Much of this success can be attributed to Lance Bachmann, CEO of 1SEO. He has been a vocal advocate of taking businesses online. The rocket growth of this Agency can be attributed to the aggressive customer acquisition drive initiated & led by Lance.

All of this has got them numerous awards and recognitions. 1SEO has also been ranked  the #1 Digital Agency by Search Engine Journal. In 2015, they’ve won 6 US Search nominations in 5 Categories!

When Wil Reynolds (the founder) wasn’t able to change his schedule once a week to volunteer at his old job, he quit and started SEER.
