Job Shops Make BIG Profits and Even BIGGER Impact

When They Have
a Radical Brand

NO Bloated
retainers

Built for shops with big plans.

If you’re a machine shop, fabricator, tool & die maker, equipment builder, or custom manufacturer serving the industrial world, Marketing Metal was built for you.

Especially if your shop has grown, changed, or sharpened its capabilities, but your marketing hasn’t kept up.

You don’t need more random tactics. You need a catalyst.

Your shop already has the raw material.

Marketing Metal helps you turn your shop’s story, expertise, values, and personality into a Radical Brand.

That means clear messaging, sharper visuals, stronger sales tools, and a website that magnetizes your perfect-fit customers and talent.

NO Cookie-cutter campaigns

NO content

The Buildout

Build the brand, website, sales tools, and marketing assets your shop needs.

Necessary Sh*t

  • A powerful brand design and message that takes a stand and builds a loyal following.

  • A laser-focused marketing plan that makes the best use of your limited dollars.

  • A stupid-simple marketing machine that WORKS and that YOU have control over.

  • Content that has your perfect prospects excited to send you an RFQ–and a PO.

  • A marketing partner that understands your business and values your time.

Unnecessary Sh*t

  • A long drawn-out website development process with zero strategy.

  • Half-cocked sales materials that look like your friend’s 12-year-old kid made them.

  • Boilerplate marketing tactics that weren’t designed for small shops with big plans.

  • Worthless marketing trends that will never get you the results you need.

  • A bloated website that doesn’t convert eyeballs into long-term customers.

  • Website security issues that take you offline and scare off your customers.

We know the world you’re building in.
