ThinkBIG in the Beginning
Originally founded as ThinkBIG Sites in 2007, back when SEO marketing strategies were still a relatively new concept for most small businesses. The early focus was straightforward: help companies get found online through improved keyword placement and inbound linking. SEO worked well and we built a solid client base primarily in the New York area before expanding nationally. Search engines kept changing, and we evolved with those core updates. When Google started rewarding quality content over link volume, we shifted our approach to match. The ability to adjust and accommodate Google updates has become part of our DNA and it has stayed with us ever since.
A New Home and a New Vision
In 2017, ThinkBIG was purchased by Justin Hoopes and relocated to Logan, Utah. Justin determined clients needed more than SEO marketing strategies, so he developed the POD Marketing model. POD Marketing was developed to provide a broader range of affordable services available to small and medium-sized businesses. Rather than hiring a handful of specialists at full price, clients could tap into a whole team of marketing professionals through one streamlined POD program. It was a practical solution to a real problem, and it set the blueprint for what ThinkBIG Digital Marketing would eventually become.
Growing Into a Full Service Marketing Agency
In 2021, Lawrence Trujillo acquired ThinkBIG and adjusted to the role of owner and CEO with an expanded vision for the company. ThinkBIG Digital Marketing evolved into a true full service marketing company offering everything from website design and SEO to Amazon management, paid advertising, graphic design, social media, and business strategy consulting. The spirit of the POD model continued to evolve and the capabilities expanded significantly. Today, ThinkBIG Digital Marketing services businesses across a wide range of industries, and the team has grown to support trades, professionals, e-commerce, and many more verticals.
Remote Digital Marketing
One of the things that has set ThinkBIG Digital Marketing apart over the years is our comfort with remote digital marketing long before it became the norm. With team members spread from Utah to Minnesota, we built our workflows around clear communication, accountability, and results rather than office hours. That remote digital marketing foundation means we can serve clients anywhere in the country without sacrificing the responsiveness and personal attention you would expect from a local agency. Geography has never been a barrier for us, and it does not have to be one for you either.
