Our story
Fifteen years of Texas growth work
13 Stripes Marketing started in Dallas in 2009 with a simple frustration: agencies were selling activity instead of outcomes. Reports were full of impressions and rankings, and empty of anything a business owner could take to the bank.
Fifteen years later we're still built around that correction. With our industry knowledge and creative prowess, we help you engage with your customers at every step of the journey: from the moment someone searches for your product or service to discovery, check out, and beyond. We never take shortcuts and we're 100% committed to results.
Today the team spans two Texas studios — Dallas and Austin — with strategists, writers, designers, developers and media buyers all in-house. When you hire us, you work with the people doing the work.
