Why Marketing Essentials?

Our History

Our story starts with one woman, a dream and a bedroom converted to an office.

In 2009, principal Patty Cisco noticed the growing momentum of digital marketing in the business world and took hold by founding Marketing Essentials from a bedroom in her home. 

With years of operations management, marketing, sales and strategic planning backing her new venture, she had a goal to build a digital agency that helped business leaders support and advance their growth goals. 

Her endless energy, drive and passion grew the business to an in-house team of more than 25 digital marketing and sales experts today. 

Marketing Essentials is now located in a modern, high-tech office space in Minster, Ohio.

The companies we work with seek a trusted partner they can count on for expert digital marketing and sales strategy, tactics, advice and coaching. At Marketing Essentials, businesses grow because people are thriving.

A Culture of Giving Back
