Pieper and Associates

What Pieper and Associates does

Pieper and Associates is a U.S. full-service marketing agency founded in 1975 and headquartered in Carson, California, with a second office in Phoenix. The firm delivers an integrated portfolio spanning traditional marketing (creative design, print, packaging, in-store POP, trade show materials), digital services (digital advertising, social, SEO/SEM, email, photography/video), website design and development across Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce, and WordPress, ecommerce and shopper marketing across owned channels and third-party marketplaces (Amazon, Chewy, Petco, Walmart), and an Enterprise Production Support service line that positions the firm as a secondary creative and production partner to agencies of record. The company serves enterprise clients concentrated in three verticals: pet food and pet care (Merrick, Canidae, Natural Balance, Nutro, Stella & Chewy's, Castor & Pollux), automotive and recreational vehicles (Honda, Acura, Hyundai, Volvo, Mazda, Dutchmen, Thor), and lawn, garden, and outdoor living (Scotts, EB Stone Organics, Lynx Grills). Long-tenured client relationships, including a 50-year Honda partnership and a 14+ year Merrick partnership, indicate an account-retention-led business model rather than a transactional new-business model.
