Raise Newark Inc

Raise Newark works with small and independent businesses in Newark, New Jersey, positioning itself as a hyperlocal alternative to national marketing firms. The agency frames its approach around community knowledge of Newark's neighborhoods and culture, arguing that generic, nationally-run campaigns fail to connect with local audiences in the way a Newark-based team can. Engagements typically begin with a paid Business Consulting call, which includes a marketing and competitive audit, a Phase One Strategy document, and a 90-day action plan. From there, the agency offers what it describes as nine pillar services: social media marketing across platforms such as Instagram, Facebook and TikTok; hyper-targeted digital ads on Facebook, Google and programmatic channels; email and SMS marketing for customer retention; mobile-first website design; local SEO and Google Business Profile optimization aimed at local search and Maps visibility; event marketing for openings and community events; AI-driven marketing automation delivered through a tool called OMNI Blvd for lead nurturing and campaign optimization; content creation covering photography, video, graphics and copy; and branding and design work including logo and visual identity systems. Services can be engaged individually or combined, following the initial consulting phase. The team size is listed as 1-10.
