According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 65% of businesses fail during their first 10 years and fewer than 5% have revenue over $1 million annually. Beating these stats was never the focus of Dagmar Marketing, but as we round year 13, it’s humbling to say we did. Our goals have always been centered around client satisfaction and employee happiness rather than hitting revenue targets. While revenue growth is important, it hasn’t been our core focus. Growing too fast too quickly is a problem in this business, often at the expense of quality, and quality is not something we are willing to cut corners on.
Dagmar Marketing celebrates its 13th anniversary this month, so let’s take a look at where the company started and where it is now.
The Start
In 2011, Dagmar Marketing was created by Chris Gregory to be a data-driven SEO and PPC agency. The focus was to be an agency that knows how to keep a promise to its clients. The core values that shape Dagmar are:
- Always Create Value
- Accountability
- Educate
- Team Work
- Do the right thing
- Every client deserves our best
This mindset has allowed the agency to stand out from the competition and gain industry recognition.
Industry Recognition
Over the years, Dagmar has seen a plethora of recognition as a small business and also as an SEO and PPC agency.
- In 2016, Dagmar won the Search Engine Land 2016 Landy Award for Best Local SEO Initiative.
- In 2017 Google recognized Dagmar Marketing with a PPC case study for their work on Tuner Pest Control.
- In 2019, Dagmar won the top honor for the 2019 Best Overall SEM Initiative in Search Engine Land’s Landy Award competition
- In 2021, Dagmar was featured as one of Jacksonville’s best places to work
- In 2022, Dagmar was listed as one of the fastest-growing businesses in Northeast Florida
- In 2023, Dagmar ranked No. 4217 in Inc. Top 5000
Milestones and Achievements
Thirteen years ago, Dagmar started out in a coworking space called The Bungalow in Jacksonville Beach, FL, with only 3 people on staff. Over the years, the office has moved, the number of employees has grown, and now the company is fully remote, which contributed to the agency’s success during the pandemic.
Brian Valentin, one of Dagmar’s first employees says this about the growth of the company:
“Man, it’s amazing to think we’re celebrating 13 years as a company — and I’ll be celebrating 11 soon. I’m proud to think back on my journey with Dagmar as one of the first hires and the longest-tenured employee. When I started there were 3 of us working out of a humble little cowork space bungalow and working with a handful of small local clients. Now we’re a fully remote national company with clients across all sorts of niches and locations. It’s really been crazy to witness this growth!
Being part of Dagmar has given me the opportunity to be involved in almost every aspect of SEO and local SEO. I feel like this experience has allowed me to be a sort of ‘jack-of-all-trades’ when it comes to our industry. Here’s to many more years of Dagmar growth and success!”
Today, Dagmar Marketing has 22 employees all over the country and has been able to help many small businesses find lasting success.
