Retainer Services
Working With Rivergate Marketing
Whether your most pressing challenge is revenue growth or hiring top talent, your online presence is either helping you or hurting you.
Both potential new hires and prospective new customers are doing their research online and making pivotal decisions before you have the opportunity to intervene. In fact, research has shown that technical B2B buyers are as much as 70% through their buying decision before they will make direct contact with a company they want to consider.
Building your company’s online presence in today’s digital world is clearly a necessity, yet consistently creating high-value educational content to lead technical B2B buyers through every stage of the buyer’s journey is easier said than done. Content creation to update your website and strategically distribute through multiple digital channels for amplification takes time and effort.

We do not charge hourly; we work on retainer. We believe this is best for our clients and our company.
