Our Story
Founded in 2010, Level emerged from a small group of talented coders, strategists, media buyers, and creatives carving out a niche for themselves in digital marketing. Together, they set ambitious targets for their clients — and surpassed them — growing exponentially with each successful quarter.
But how did they do it?
Our team of innovators took the craft and storytelling of marketing and supported it with evidence-based digital strategies, tracking progress toward the client’s goal. While novel at the time, this has become standard practice: performance marketing.
In the years since, we’ve grown in size and services. Today, Level serves clients across multiple sectors with the same dedication to business outcomes. In 2023 we expanded our higher education business, adding the performance powerhouse Becker Media to the Level Agency group. A kindred spirit in their marketing approach and philosophy, we’re truly better together.
Meanwhile, our agency structure remains agile and responsive, built around cross-functional teams and Centers of Excellence, delivering agency-wide expertise that’s focused by professionals who intimately know each client’s business.
About Us
Our dedicated teams support clients in Higher Education, Tech & Software, Professional Services, Financial Services, and Ecommerce. They deliver the strategic, creative, and paid media support needed to realize their most ambitious growth goals. They’re supported by Centers of Excellence in creative, strategy, media, and data disciplines. We’re 130 people strong, and that number will be too low by the time you read this.

Our Approach
After all, achieving killer performance is great and all, but what works today won’t work tomorrow. This hypothesis-driven framework applies the scientific method to your marketing challenges. We call it Test. Learn. Grow. How does it work? We use design thinking principles to understand rapidly changing consumer challenges, formulate hypotheses, and develop creative prototypes. Does every experiment succeed? No. But we only double down on what does. The Test. Learn. Grow. framework helps us evolve. It helps our partners understand their customers. And it spends your money as efficiently as possible.
Our Values
These foundational values deliver the best possible outcomes for our partners. Within the agency, they inform the ways we grow and cultivate our team and and embrace curiosity. For our clients, PROUD embodies our constant striving to uncover new opportunities, push boundaries, and grow revenue.
Core Beliefs
A consensus on what every person in our group needs from each other and commits to each other in order to feel safe, supported, open, productive and trusting so that we can do our best work to achieve our common vision, and serve our clients well.
What’s better than 12 years of continuous agency growth?

Agreements

Being wrong doesn’t mean wasted effort. Don’t be afraid to take risks in pursuit of bigger opportunities.
