We tried marketing before and it didn’t work.

We need marketing services, but we're so busy and don't have time.

We need to market our business but have no idea where to begin.

Sound familiar? Maybe. Something brought you here, so let’s dig deeper.

Identity crisis? (Your brand, of course, not you.) Lost that creative feeling? Trying to figure out the latest Facebook update? What’s an algorithm anyway? Website having a hard time keeping up with mobile? Still waiting on those edits from your freelancer? Collateral a hodge-podge of different fonts, colors and design? ROI, SEO, PPC, KPI, CMS, CTR…need we go on?

Yes, we are a full-service marketing communications agency.

And no, we are not a fit for everyone.

But we do work exceptionally well with small to mid-size businesses and nonprofits who tell us they’re tired of trying to keep up and tackle marketing on their own. They are disappointed by a lack of innovation and ideas from their current partners. They’re frustrated with paying too much for too few results from vendors and freelancers. They’re goal-oriented, collaborative and open to exciting new changes.

Let's Connect

the trio way

They challenge us, ignite us and bring out the best in us. They influence every aspect of our work and your results. Our values, mission and vision are the TRIO way.

Powered by our values

Our values aren't just words on the wall. They're our why—why we exist, why we show up and why we succeed. We value our values and they guide our actions, beliefs and behaviors.

 Passionate and Grateful 
We love that our work lights our fire and consider it a “get to do,” not a “have to do.”

 Humbly Confident 
We respect and fiercely protect our own brand and our clients, embracing every challenge with a “we” is greater than “me” mentality.

 Relationship Obsessed 
We inspire those around us and are loyal champions for our teammates, clients and partners.

 Deliberately Excellent 
We believe excellence is never an accident and is always the result of high intention, sincere effort and intelligent execution, just like Aristotle.

 Making Our Mark 
We approach every situation with a growth mindset and view it as an opportunity to work hard, enjoy life and make a difference.

On April 1, 2001, Trio Solutions Inc. opened our doors and we never looked back.

We invite you to browse some of our favorite milestones over the years.
