Planted Marketing

Based in San Clemente, California, Planted Marketing works with mission-aligned and purpose-driven brands across the United States and Canada, ranging from early-stage startups to more established businesses. The team, sized between one and ten people, positions itself around organic marketing rather than paid-first tactics, aiming to help brands build genuine community rather than simply accumulate followers. Client work referenced on the site spans e-commerce, coaching, food and beverage, and STEM education products, suggesting a focus on small and mid-sized businesses with a defined brand identity or social mission. Services described include content marketing, social media management, influencer marketing, and SEO/AEO/GEO, alongside broader digital and marketing strategy, advertising, and email marketing. For influencer marketing, the described method involves selecting influencers and creating content briefs aimed at long-term, authentic partnerships rather than one-off promotions. Social media work is described as extending to full channel management, while strategy work is framed as evolving alongside a business's stage of growth, with plans adjusted for where a company stands currently while accounting for future scaling. The agency also references design, photography, PR, and website-related work in its case studies, indicating that projects can combine several of these services rather than being delivered as single, isolated tactics.
