Company 119

Based in Chardon, Ohio, Company 119 works specifically with manufacturers, focusing on helping them build visibility, support distributor networks, and strengthen sales team efforts through marketing. The agency operates with a small team of one to ten people and positions its work around the particular challenges manufacturing companies face, such as generating and converting trade show leads and maintaining relationships with distributors and reps rather than serving a broad cross-industry client base. The agency's services include search engine optimization, digital strategy, web design and development, advertising, pay-per-click campaigns, conversion optimization, and social media marketing. Company 119 also offers digital advertising, recruitment marketing, and video marketing as part of its manufacturing-focused offering. Its approach is built around what it calls a 20-touchpoint system, branded as "The Influence Engine," intended to create a structured marketing framework rather than one-off campaigns. The agency also provides resources aimed at equipping sales representatives and reinforcing distributor relationships, including guidance such as a step-by-step guide on converting trade show leads into sales. This combination of channel-specific services and a systemized touchpoint approach reflects an emphasis on measurable business outcomes for manufacturing clients, connecting marketing activity directly to distributor support and sales performance rather than treating these as separate functions.
