Marketing EQ was created to help clients invest wisely in their marketing. When you work with us, we will assess your marketing and media mix to reveal gaps. Gaps are expensive and result in customer loss. Bad allocation blows out budgets and under-delivers results costing companies a fortune. Our methods reduce risk and create success for marketing investments.
Early in her advertising career, EQ Owner, Julie Gorham worked in media sales. The biggest complaint she received from clients was under-performance from total ad spend. She worked with national accounts and ad agencies planning ad campaigns with research – demographics, psychographics, market data, and user data. media data, shopping behaviors, and more. MEQ uses these methods too. This approach saves clients hundreds of thousands of dollars per year and delivers better results.
Like Market Equilibrium, where supply is in equal proportion to demand, resulting in little waste, Marketing Equilibrium (EQ) will measure the right balance of actions with the right investment to garner the best outcome. This effort reduces the potential for any loss.
We are marketing in balance.

Core Team
According to our clients, larger agencies are known to take longer to complete projects and apply massive resources with little transparency. They also report feeling frustrated that individual contractors can’t provide all the services they need; so they hire more of the same, but those people don’t talk among themselves, and the brand become further diluted. At MEQ, we like to think we’ve got a good thing going. We focus on fast and cost-efficient work… to rival teams many times our size.
