Focused, Experienced, and Data-Driven Digital Advertising Agency

Our mission is to help clients of all sizes across a variety of industries build confidence in data-driven marketing campaigns they can scale.

Why Choose Clix?

Focus

Because we specialize in paid digital channels, our clients know we’re dedicated to making those campaigns successful and we can’t cover up performance issues by changing attention to different portions of their marketing efforts. It also allows our team’s depth of knowledge in the space to match a variety of account needs and challenges.

Expertise

Every member of the Clix team is helping lead the PPC industry, in terms of evolving strategy and tactics to meet the ever-changing digital landscape. You can spot that expertise in our own blog, the content our team produces for trusted third-party resources, and the number of speaking engagements our team is invited to participate in year after year.

Results

Our average client tenure exceeds three years and our number one lead source is client referrals – proving our approach & strategies to be effective for businesses in the long-term and through the continued evolution of the digital marketplace. Clix has built that trust through consistent PPC results in our every day work with clients of all sizes.

Our Story

Clix has been managing digital marketing for clients since 2004 and our purpose has always remained centered on what’s best for our clients – not on driving our own agenda or pushing tactics that don’t connect with a long term strategy.

We knew keeping our focus on what drives the growth of the businesses of our clients would be the leading indicator of our own success – and we were right.

Clix’s budget under management has increased by more than 70% over the course of the last three years alone! Marketing dollars in this space tend to be allocated based on efficiency, so we see this expansion as the greatest measurement of proof that our approach to digital works in an investible way for the clients we represent.

We’ve Got Talent

Clix is synonymous with thought-leadership in the digital marketing industry, as regular speakers at major conferences like SMX, Hero Conf, and Pubcon, as well as regional favorites like SEMpdx, UtahDMC, MnSearch Summit and many more. Our folks frequently write for top industry blogs, such as Search Engine Land, Social Media Examiner and SEMRush, among others.
We’re also featured as some of the most influential contributors to the industry by publications like PPC Hero and Search Engine Journal.

Clix is comprised of only top PPC talent, so everyone who touches your account is a digital advertising expert – no substitutions.
