Why the coyote in the logo and photo?

Coyotes, native wildlife to Portland and the greater Pacific Northwest, are experts in survival and growth. They’re also opportunistic and have an incredible ability to scout the landscape and find what they need to grow and protect their pack.

We found this beautiful animal to be a symbol, not only of Portland, but of what it takes to survive and grow in business.

After 12 years, we know what it takes. Not simply to survive something like Google’s algorithm updates or economic downturn. We know the internet marketing landscape so well we can navigate it under moon light and still manage to find you safe passage for your business to reach it’s marketing and revenue goals.

Our History

The Portland Company was started by Spencer Hill, under a different name, in early 2005. By 2007 we contracted our first graphic designer began shifting from strictly a website development company to a full service internet marketing agency.

By 2009 we had design and programming staff that developed fully-featured WordPress websites and were developing our process for search engine optimization (SEO) and other search marketing and social media marketing services. By 2011 we had multiple success stories of our clients not only ranking in the top three positions of Google’s first-page results, but increased sales and maximized conversion rates for customers.

Throughout this time we hired more staff to service our clients’ needs and officially introduced web application development as a service – typically complimentary to Website Development.

Today, we are a full service content marketing firm offering strategy-first, transparency and accountability focused services including website design, website development, on-site search engine optimization, off-site search engine marketing, and more.

We will grow your business. Would you give us the opportunity?
