thunder::tech

thunder::tech is a full-service marketing agency that works with midsize brands from offices in Cleveland, Toledo, Detroit and Chicago. It combines advertising, brand strategy, communications, digital marketing, web development, user experience, visual design and video under one roof, and says it deliberately avoids siloing those disciplines.

The agency describes its process as getting to know each client's goals and then working as a team to reach them. Brand strategy is treated as the starting point, defining a brand's identity and direction before campaigns begin. From there, communications work covers content strategy, marketing automation, social media and influencer marketing, while digital marketing focuses on reaching consumers at the right time and place. The agency also runs an in-house production studio for video and audio, and has an AI marketing practice that pairs proprietary tools with industry partnerships to optimize content and drive engagement.

• Advertising: traditional and digital advertising delivered as one integrated approach
• Brand strategy: identity and core direction work for new and established brands
• Web development: data-driven websites and online presence, including integrations
• User experience: design of websites, native apps, intranets and interactive kiosks
• Visual design: brand appearance work beyond logos and graphic art
• Video and multimedia: in-house video and audio production
• AI marketing solutions: proprietary tools used for content and engagement

Case studies on its site include website development and integrations for the consumer goods brand Simple Mills, brand experience work for Mickey's, and a project for Rotary Solutions that merged four websites into one platform. Other featured work includes destination marketing for Destination Cleveland, brand and web work for Re-Warner, and social campaigns for Big Fig. The agency groups its experience into industries such as manufacturing and industrial, professional services, destination and hospitality, food and beverage, automotive and mobility, consumer products and retail, and education.

The agency's website displays an Inc. 5000 badge marked as a five-time winner, and describes itself as a marketing agency for midsize brands ready to grow.
