We are Fiscally Responsible
Any marketing firm can spend your marketing dollars, and may promise short-term gains. We look at your investment into marketing, advertising and web through a long-term lens and offer maximum impact with every action. We truly care about your immediate and ongoing success.
EQ means trust and the numbers don’t lie. We have expertise managing budgets for a wide variety of industries and can share insights. Customer educations is a core component of what we do (if you can’t already tell) and we demystify some of the confusing marketing actions and services so we are all on the same page.
Transparency is a core value, and why research is imperative for strategic marketing planning – without it, it’s like climbing a mountain in the dark. We look at many data points, and discuss them with you, illuminating a clear path for all to see.
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, to garner the largest gains. This effort minimizes loss.

Esther Pisano, Web Management & MaintenanceWe are grateful that Esther transitioned from an intern through Workforce SW Washington, into a web management position at MEQ. She is our third intern. We cheer Esther on as she moves into her passion of Database Management, and our doors are always open to her. Here’s an interview from Workforce SW Washington. Taking the time to train interns helps our future workforce grow their work experience, and it can fill a need within the company that may not yet be a full-time job. Your company may only be a stepping stone for a new hire, but it’s rewarding to see confidence build in preparation for their next position.
