Who we are
Fawkes Digital Marketing is a full-service digital marketing agency that started in Michigan City, Indiana, at the end of 2012. We moved to Northern Alabama in the fall of 2022 to further help businesses grow, as our technology has allowed us the ability, for ourselves and our clients, to work remotely and not be tied to a single physical location. We now have team members in Alabama, California, Florida, Indiana, North Carolina, and Texas.
We focus on digital marketing (self and full-service) and providing customer relationship management (CRM) software for businesses to grow at an affordable price. These are web design, organic local search engine optimization (SEO), and online reputation management. We service clients throughout the United States and Mexico.
We utilize computer software, data analytics, and the human mind to create custom-tailored marketing solutions for our customers. We use analytics from as many data points as possible to increase the growth of our customers.
We are proud to achieve a consistent 10% or more growth for our monthly care plan clients over the past ten years. For 2023, every client has grown by more than 10%.
Local businesses are the lifeblood of our local economies; without them, our local communities would suffer. Yes, big brands are all over, but local small and medium businesses sustain the economy, so we've focused on helping them grow.
We believe in breaking the mold by using our agile software development expertise to adapt and change quickly to the current marketing conditions. This separates us from traditional marketing agencies. We provide not only traditional marketing but also marketing through the use of modern and updated software.

Values We Hire, Fire and Work By
Honest & Radical Transparency
The digital marketing world is notorious for being opaque and scummy. We believe this is the wrong approach to take. Marketing itself isn't hard. It is just getting down, focusing on the analytics, and implementing the objectives of the business. We take the opposite direction with a radical and transparent approach to digital marketing.
Quality Over Quantity
Many digital marketing providers take a churn-and-burn approach to their work by trying to get as much done as quickly as possible. We have found this is great for their profits but doesn't produce the results to help grow your business.
We pride ourselves in our high-quality work focusing on looking at the big picture to give your business the growth you want.
Continuous Curiosity
With every business industry constantly adapting and evolving customer demands, we are focused on being agile to help you meet your business needs. We look for opportunities by seeing how people interact and find your business online. We adapt to the changing market of your industry.
Ownership & Accountability
Nothing can be more frustrating than having someone say, "that's not my problem."
We have never taken that approach. Instead, we take ownership of everything we do and are accountable for all aspects of the project. No matter how small or big a task request is, you own it and don't deserve any excuses to get your requests met.
Data-Driven Decisions
As a digital marketing agency, everything we do is recorded to see trends in your business and industry and how we can be more agile to your unique business needs. That is why the opportunities, insights, and recommendations we provide should are based on data rather than feelings, anecdotes, and sometimes even best practices.
Be Actionable
Providing recommendations without them being actionable doesn't help anyone. Instead, we offer suggestions that are specific and actionable in a way that everyone (internally and externally) understands. We can help our clients achieve continual business growth by being actionable through every step.
Security
Every day, security becomes more important than the day before in a business's life. As we build solutions for our clients, we emphasize protecting our client's data and proprietary information.
We place our honesty before security, as anyone can say they are secure. By putting honesty first, you can rest assured that when we say security is a high priority, you know it is.
Environmental Impact
As a family-owned and operated company, we look at our environment for every decision. We make sure we use recycled products whenever possible and utilize sustainable technologies for our servers. Since 2013, we have continued to reduce our carbon footprint annually and are now using 100% sustainable wind power.
Veteran Owned & Operated
Many companies will outsource some or all of their work outside the United States. As a company that is 100% owned by an American veteran, we believe other Americans best serve your USA-based business.
