BrownRice Marketing

Based in Metairie, Louisiana, this small agency is run by two named partners, Mark Brown and Ward Rice, who work directly with clients from an office on Metairie Road. With a team of fewer than ten people, the agency positions itself as a hands-on marketing partner for businesses looking to build out a digital presence rather than as a large-scale production shop. Consultations are offered free of charge as an entry point for prospective clients. The service list spans search engine optimization, digital strategy, social media marketing, broadcast video and creative/media production, email and text marketing, print design, and web design, with media buying also offered as a distinct capability. The agency groups its work into five areas on its site: digital marketing, social media, media buying, creative and media production, and email/text marketing. Its stated working method follows four stages — listening to a client's goals, strategizing an approach, executing campaigns, and reviewing results through a data-driven lens — with an emphasis on open dialogue and giving clients full access to campaign performance information throughout the engagement. Contact is handled directly through the two partners, who list individual phone numbers and email addresses rather than a general inquiries desk, reflecting the agency's small, partner-led structure.
