Push Digital is making all sorts of moves that will help rocket it into the stratosphere in no time. Already known for shaking things up in the digital world, the Charleston-based agency is growing in its hometown and beyond (like, wayyyyy beyond.) And that means big things as well for local favorite craft brewery, Frothy Beard, the largest indoor tap room in Charleston located directly beside Push Digital.

Make Room for Frothy

Currently, Push Digital’s Charleston office shares a space with Frothy Beard Brewing Company and Zombie Bob’s Pizza, which are both Push investments. This is great for employees who love craft beer and pizza (and who doesn’t?), but it’s not sustainable for a rapidly growing agency. That’s why they’re building out a new 3,500 sq. foot space next door to the brewery.

With Push moving out of the Frothy Beard space, it will open up a room for the brewing company to have a private area for parties, meetings, and receptions. This will make Frothy Beard the first brewery in Charleston with such a space. #Yassssss. That’s just another way Frothy Beard is innovating and making unique improvements in the Charleston area.

Locals already love to stop by Frothy Beard on Sam Rittenberg for a signature “pint and monster slice.” Now they can plan on celebrating special occasions and hosting large or small meetings at the brewery. You’ll get to experience some delicious beer and mouth-watering pizza while enjoying the privacy that the usually buzzing taproom doesn’t afford. The space is set to open sometime in spring 2018.

Push It Real Good

Push Digital is doing more than making a big move physically, they’re making big moves strategically. After working with brands like SeaWorld, HSN, Kmart, and Sears, Push has created a new corporate division, Push Brands. They’ve tapped former Senior Vice President, Michael Rentiers, to be President, Corporate Communications.

On the need for growth in Corporate Communications, CEO Wesley Donehue said,

“Corporations are quickly learning that the twenty-four hour, seven days a week work and rapid speed required in a new digital age can be accomplished by a team with a constant wartime mentality. Our political DNA, no-BS attitude and solutions based mentality make us uniquely qualified to move at a pace most can’t or won’t.”

Rentiers has already helped grow Push Advocacy since he joined in 2013 and will now focus his energies on growing the corporate communications offering. Push Advocacy will now be led by new hire, Anna Henderson, who will be Vice President of Advocacy.

Push Digital has also hired eight additional employees in the creative and accounts departments and promoted two more employees to help handle the agency’s growing workload.

Small businesses don’t always yield small results and that is apparent in the current and continued success of many of Charleston’s finest digital marketing firms. We no longer live in a society that can affirm that bigger always means better, and that is apparent with companies like, Cobble Hill, Lou Hammond, Push Digital, Fuzzco and Hook. These seemingly small marketing firms have grown and are continuing to expand their networks beyond Charleston with no limitations on future success.

Cobble Hill: A company aiming to connect with audiences through intelligent design, marketing and technology.

Having great success with their current clients including Jack Rudy Cocktail Co., Le Creuset and Draper James, to name a few, Cobble Hill continues to climb to the top. In their most recent venture with Cynthia Rowley, a local women’s clothing boutique specializing in vanguard and edgy styles, Cobble Hill has far exceeded expectations in elevating their clients’ digital presence and overall sales. They prepared the site to handle high volume traffic and to be effortlessly updated as needed.

Cobble Hill applies their user experience analysis and also, utilizes Google Analytic tracking for a better understanding of user trends, direction, and sales seasons. The post-launch of the website not only increased sales but did so exponentially. If you’re looking to step up your fashion game, check out the Cynthia Rowley website.

Hook: A company with a wholehearted belief that great creative is more valuable than media dollars

Yet another seemingly “small” marketing firm in Charleston, Hook has been growing since their inception. Like its other digital marketing counterparts, Hook has continually challenged the status quo and far exceeded the expectations for a typical small business. Comprised of a staff of creative thinkers and strategists that believe that all brands should be different while also ensuring they remain relevant and appealing to the consumer.

Hook has coined some of what they believe are the most important rules to follow in digital marketing,

  1. Be different, people tend to remember the guy with the Mohawk more than the guy with the 9 to 5 haircut.
  2. Bite your tongue; make sure the timing for your message is right.
  3. Speak the same language as the consumer, even if it feels foreign.
  4. Drink the Kool-Aid. Have confidence in the brand.
  5. Scream while others are silent. Stand out from the crowd.
  6. Be willing to take risks, the bigger the risk…the bigger the reward.

Hook has some pretty great rules to follow for a successful marketing campaign but ironically relate on a personal level as well! If you feel like taking a look at what this company is really about, their website captures that feeling.

There is no such thing as a company too small to make big headlines, and there is no refuting the fact that these Charleston marketing firms have made a name for themselves. They continually help their clients succeed and do so tirelessly, with the end goal in mind to make a difference in society.
