Behind the Scenes at DZM

Saturday, October 6, 2018

James La Barrie, founder of Beyond MarketingHowdy Ya’ll!

Hello and welcome from our new digs on Main Street in Fort Mill, SC!! (we’ve come a long way since we started in my two car garage in 2013). It’s been a busy and exciting year of change at DropZone Marketing. Our office move is finally complete and we’re off to the races with many new projects including one of our own – the development of Beyond Marketing.

In 2013, my focus was to develop an agency for businesses in general. Fortunately, we gained a lot of traction within the skydiving niche and by 2015, we created a brand that honed in our primary audience – DropZone Marketing powered by Beyond Marketing. As our team grew, we poured all of our energies into developing the DZM brand and that continues today. However, in the back of my mind, I knew we would resume our efforts to build Beyond Marketing and that started this summer with the opening of our new agency office. The second step in that effort was realized last week with the launch of our new agency website – BeyondMarketing.xyz. Please have a look around!

Below is a little video from our new office with our team. The soundtrack is being sung by our own Melissa Harper, our Web Design Project Manager. Melissa plays the guitar, piano, ukulele, and the accordian and is a member of a local band, Woodland.

So who are we, again?

We are both! DropZone Marketing continues to grow with some exciting and new projects with various manufacturers, influencers and drop zones. We’ll also be launching a new DropZone Marketing website in the new year as well as some new website designs for some well-known industry brands. Meanwhile Beyond Marketing is off and running working with local and national companies on their individual projects. We couldn’t be more excited!
