13+ Years of Growing Clients

In 2013, AdShark's founders Rick Berg and Sean Maki met and created a business that was rooted in using digital marketing channels to grow brands. We quickly became North Dakota's first Google Partner and scaled our business to support both eCommerce and traditional businesses in the Fargo area. Today, our marketing agency has 22 Sharks who have worked with over 250 brands on their digital advertising, SEO, and web projects. We've also helped those brands generate over $950 million in revenue and over 1 million leads through our ad campaigns. When you work with AdShark, you'll be working with a team that blends data-driven analysis with creative strategy – all in an effort to help your brand get introduced to new customers, and grow your company revenue.
