Marketing Partner to Engineers & System Integrators

“We approached Rivergate Marketing to develop our annual report because of their experience in the industrial automation industry. We knew they had the expertise to make our technical business understandable to a larger audience. We are very happy with how the annual report turned out, and we received many positive comments from our Board. We look forward to working with Rivergate Marketing on future projects.”

“Overall, we gained great insight into how our clients perceive us from the client interviews Rivergate Marketing conducted, which has better allowed us to expand within those organizations. We also gained valuable insight into what mattered for them. Sure, many of us came from the client side and think we know what that is, but sometimes it’s nice to get a refresher and a reality check. I believe the interviews helped us to infiltrate new clients, especially since we had to work in a completely remote environment during the pandemic. Rivergate Marketing has certainly helped us, and for that I am grateful!”

“As a longtime client of Rivergate Marketing, we are very happy with the company’s expanded graphic design services. It is impressive that I can simply give Lauren bullet points and she creatively turns them into selling points with her graphic design skills. We have taken advantage of Lauren’s design skills to both polish our existing marketing materials as well as create new pieces and we are very happy with the results. I like working with Lauren because she collaborates well, flushing out our basic ideas into finished pieces in which she has actively incorporated our feedback and requests for changes throughout the design process.”

“As the National Industrial Partner Manager at Siemens Industry, Inc., I have the opportunity to stay abreast of many company’s marketing campaigns. Standing out from the pack has been and continues to be Patti Engineering. Their marketing message, which has been developed and executed upon by their partner Rivergate Marketing, has resonated with a tough to reach audience, by combining technical success stories and human interest topics. Their consistent touch-points and messaging throughout the years has deepened their relationship from an engineering level to a business management level with their customers, their suppliers and their peers. My experience working with the company and Georgia Whalen of Rivergate Marketing directly has always been a pleasure and also a learning experience. The Rivergate team really knows what it takes to lead successful marketing and PR efforts in this industry.”

“The fabulous work Rivergate Marketing’s team provided to show our great company culture through human interest articles and social posts about our employees and fun company events, certainly helped us with meeting our hiring goals. It’s been critical to our fast growth.”

“The pillar page was a new concept to us, and we were a bit skeptical. It seemed like an awful lot of text. But we trusted Rivergate, and they patiently educated us on the value of the pillar page (as they do with many marketing strategies) so we went forward with it. We are very pleased with the amount of traffic we’ve been getting and our keyword ranking. Our controls team sees a steady stream of work and we’re now hiring to keep up with the demand.”
