About Us

Consider Thrive Internet Marketing your digital marketing and strategy partner. We are a Toledo Ohio Digital Marketing Firm and have been in operation since 1994 when company founder Ian Hartten launched Toledo's first ISP, called Primenet of Toledo which was sold to Global Crossing in 1999.

Our goal today is to help you understand and utilize the power of the Internet to enhance your business, brand or  organization. Thrive Internet Marketing is an award-winning agency built on 15 years of experience in web design, development and online marketing. Our toolbox includes a premium suite of design and development tools, affordable social media services and marketing solutions. More importantly, we have an enthusiastic and experienced team ready to conceive, create and deliver customized solutions to your digital marketing goals.

Because we know how to take a project from creation to launch, we are also comfortable working seamlessly with other marketing firms and agencies at any point in the creative process.

We are an eclectic, spirited and knowledgeable team of Internet marketing addicts. In this business if you're not eating, sleeping and breathing the Internet, you get left behind. Trust us, we know our stuff.

We love ecommerce so much we own a few companies that sell a few things. (Stop in our office anytime for rare potato chips, swanky unique martini glasses or giant stuffed animals.) We love our content management system software so much we run our Toledo Arts and Entertainment city site www.toledo.com. We love design so much we often get caught up in office-wide debates about the relevance of Zapf Dingbats or the color Ochre.

We are Mac people, so our office has the best tools of the trade, lots of bamboo plants, Origami, a Bop-it, Detroit Tiger's swag, an endless iTunes account of tasty licks and Star Wars gear. We love our clients and thrive on helping to actualize their vision. But if there's one thing that might set us apart from other shops, it's our philosophy to think, not just do.
