The Cincinnati I-marketing Group was founded in 2000 by me, Rob Bunting, MBA, as a networking & discussion group for people to learn more and discuss issues related to Internet marketing. In 2002, I began working as an Internet marketing consultant in my spare time and in 2004 decided to expand my business into a full-time venture serving firms looking to generate more sales or sales leads from their websites but not large enough to take on a full-time Internet marketing manager.
The Cincinnati I-marketing Group is an alternative to taking on I-marketing projects in-house or working with traditional advertising and marketing agencies that lack the same level of experience with online marketing. I am results-focused and provide personalized custom services, closely monitoring my clients progress, not cookie-cutter programs on autopilot. Clients receive easy-to-understand reports so they can see their precise return on investment along with recommendations for improvement.
