Our History
In 2016, Hearthstone Marketing was founded on a simple idea: marketing should feel human and it should work. What started as a boutique agency focused exclusively on medical and healthcare marketing quickly gained traction thanks to one thing: results. As word spread, so did our reach—growing organically into a full-service marketing agency serving industries from real estate and e-commerce to professional services and lifestyle brands.

But as we grew, we noticed a pattern in the industry: bloated strategies, generic templates, poor communication, and agencies that forgot what partnership really means. We knew we could do better.

At Hearthstone, we take a multi-pronged, strategic approach blending web design, SEO, SEM, brand strategy, content, and social media into seamless systems that help our clients cut through the noise and show up everywhere that matters. We’re not here to pump out flashy campaigns with no follow-through. We’re here to build foundations, grow brands, and do work that actually moves businesses forward.

Our mission?
To deliver thoughtful, effective marketing with zero fluff and zero friction.
Our vision?
To keep brands human and relevant even in a world powered by AI.
Our values?
Be curious. Stay honest. Do great work. And treat people like people.
