Marketing services

Good work works
hard, too.

Design grabs attention. A thoughtful strategy makes it count. I connect the pieces so every channel does its part.

Web design

Thoughtful, people-first websites with clear messaging and a refined digital experience.

Search & SEO

Search engine optimization and content that help the right people find their way to you.

Paid advertising

PPC marketing campaigns designed to put your brand in front of the right audience.

Email marketing

Thoughtful, on-brand email marketing that keeps your audience connected.

Brand & logo design

Logos and visual identities that give a brand its own personality and presence.

And beyond digital: event booths, brochures, and traditional marketing—designed to keep every brand touchpoint connected.

An introduction

Marketing is
more than
messages.

It’s the experience on the other side of them. I’m Mark Tillman: a digital marketer and web designer who cares about both the big picture and the little things that make it feel right.

My work spans web design, SEO, PPC, and email marketing. I bring those skills together with visual identity and a practical understanding of traditional marketing—from event booths and brochures to the digital experience that keeps the conversation going.

I've led teams and marketing initiatives as a Digital Marketing Manager, Marketing Manager, and SEO Manager. At Adelante Healthcare, I managed a new website, department-wide digital planning, and monthly reporting. At Digital Air Strike, I helped build SEO, PPC, and web services—and worked on early interactive Amazon video advertising.

My earlier SEO leadership at Gannett included growing a team from three to 15 and the department from $96,000 to $4.2 million in annual revenue.

I'm also a creator beyond the marketing world: I made an underwater survival game called Jameson's Fish and wrote Perceptions, a mystery novel. Different formats, same curiosity about how people experience a story.

Campaigns & creative

Good design.

Digital is the focus—but great ideas travel beyond the screen, from original album artwork to real-world campaign design.

Beyond marketing

Off the marketing path.

An underwater world and a story full of twists—two more ways to create an experience that stays with you.
