TEN31

What TEN31 does

TEN31 Marketing is a privately held, integrated branding and marketing agency founded in 2015 and headquartered in Bloomington, Indiana. Operating as TEN31 Marketing LLC with a team of 1–10, the firm has served over 150 brands since inception, concentrated in the U.S. Midwest with reach extending nationally. Its core offering bundles brand strategy, custom web development (including e-commerce builds integrated with client fulfillment operations), PPC advertising, social media management, video content production, and email/SMS campaign management into single engagements rather than modular services.

The agency's revenue model is professional services-based, with engagements structured as either one-off projects (e.g., website builds) or longer-term retainers (e.g., full marketing takeovers). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; new business is sourced through the company website contact form and direct client relationships. TEN31 operates a direct-to-client go-to-market motion targeting brands in the Midwest and beyond, and as of the latest website update is not accepting new clients, instead routing prospective customers to a network of trusted referral partners for web development, digital marketing, and video content.

The firm has no disclosed funding rounds, parent company, subsidiaries, patents, API, or mobile application. Named, engagement-deep customers include Lindsay Phillips (since 2018), Crumbl Cookies Bloomington (2020 launch campaign), and the City of Bloomington's Go Bloomington program (since 2022); the website also displays logos for RE/MAX, Chick-fil-A, Al's Popcorn, and InfoSentience among others. Service is delivered by a single integrated team without disclosed reliance on AI/ML tooling or third-party platforms beyond standard digital marketing channels.

Core offering

TEN31 Marketing is an integrated branding and marketing agency that develops multi-year brand strategy roadmaps, designs and builds custom e-commerce websites (including integration with clients' in-house fulfillment and shipping), and runs ongoing multi-channel digital marketing campaigns across PPC, social media, email, SMS, and video. Engagements are delivered as a single integrated agency partner rather than standalone modules, with select specialty in coordinating influencer and NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) athlete campaigns for brand awareness and launches.

Product overview

TEN31 Marketing is a single integrated branding and marketing agency (not a modular SaaS platform) offering a unified portfolio of services that are typically combined into full-service client engagements. The core offerings — Brand Strategy, Brand Marketing, Web Development, PPC Advertising, Social Media Management, and Video Content — are delivered together, with Email and SMS Campaigns and Market Research serving as add-on capabilities layered into engagements. The agency's portfolio demonstrates this integrated model across clients such as City of Bloomington (Go Bloomington NIL campaign), Lindsay Phillips (e-commerce site build plus full marketing takeover including PPC, social, email, SMS, and video), and Crumbl Cookies (influencer campaign plus promotional video). TEN31 serves as the single agency partner for these brands rather than offering standalone product modules.
