OrangeBall Creative

What OrangeBall Creative does

OrangeBall Creative (legal entity OrangeBall, Inc.) is a privately-held, founder-owned strategic marketing and branding agency headquartered in Norwood Young America, Minnesota. Operating with a 1–10 person team, the firm serves small and mid-market businesses across the United States, with concentration in the Midwest and Twin Cities region. Its customer base spans at least ten industries including banking, financial services, IT, telecommunications, wellness, non-profit, construction, logistics, manufacturing/retail, and professional services, indicating a deliberate horizontal-segmentation strategy.

The agency's service offering is anchored by a proprietary six-stage Marketing Simplified Process (On-boarding, Foundations, Design, Connection, Measurement, Adjustment) and a "message-first" methodology. Core services include brand message and copywriting, logo design and brand identity, responsive website design and development, SEO strategy, digital marketing (email, social media, digital ads, blogging), and print and packaging design. The firm also sells Brand Bounce Bootcamp — a structured brand-messaging training program with three tiers: a self-guided BIY guide at $147, a Cross-Training hybrid service at $3,000, and a Facilitated Team workshop at custom pricing — operating as both a standalone product and a complement to the agency's core services.

Revenue is generated primarily through project-based and retainer professional services engagements, supplemented by direct-to-consumer sales of Bootcamp products via the brandbouncebootcamp.com self-service website. The company is bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding, and no revenue figures have been published. Go-to-market relies on direct consultative sales (phone at 612-326-9811 and email), website inquiry capture, content marketing through the OrangeBall Insights blog and email newsletter, organic social media presence on Facebook and LinkedIn, and case-study-driven demand generation. No proprietary AI/ML capabilities are disclosed, and API/integration offerings are not available.
