Marcus Thomas

About

Agency Overview

Marcus Thomas is an independent agency created from the union of Marcus Advertising, founded in Cleveland in 1946, and Ira Thomas Associates, founded in Youngstown in 1937. In 2011, we acquired the pioneering digital agency DigiKnow. In 2018, we acquired Devs United, a customer engagement technology company, focused on providing solutions around the Salesforce platform. These digital acquisitions mean we are particularly well-fortified in analytics, digital media, digital strategy and marketing automation. We employ 150+ full-time employees in our Cleveland office and 50+ developers in our Buenos Aires office.

Marcus Thomas LLC exists to help its clients make their mark – on their industry, on their company, on their careers. We do it by assembling the right mix of talents, tools and technologies. By fostering a culture that takes intelligent risks. By listening as passionately as we speak. By pushing boundaries, innovating and taking on the status quo. We do it by asking the questions it takes to get things done rather than the questions it takes to justify ego or agenda. We do it by knowing if we take care of our client’s business, our client’s business will take care of us.
