Hit Agency - Rochester, Mn

What Hit Agency - Rochester, Mn does

Hit Agency is a privately held, founder-led creative marketing agency headquartered at 905 Broadway Ave N, Rochester, MN, employing a seven-person team under owner Cordie Walker. Founded in the mid-2010s on the back of Walker's marketing and production experience since 2011, the firm operates a vertically integrated production model delivering video production, ad management, branding, web design, social media management, podcast production, marketing strategy, and photography under one roof. The agency has developed notable depth in two specialized verticals — golf marketing (anchored by Walker's Golfwell media brand, which reaches approximately 400,000 golfers per month) and airport marketing (anchored by Rochester International Airport as a flagship reference client).

The agency's client roster spans SMBs in the Rochester and Southeast Minnesota region — Tonna Mechanical, Dwell Realty, The Home Collective, Shurson Group, Hilltop House, Galleria at University Square — alongside enterprise and institutional accounts including Mayo Clinic Press, Hormel Foods, Edel Golf, TPT Golf, RYP Golf, TravlFi, Pace International, Nature Nate's, Sweet Harvest Foods, and the Rochester Downtown Alliance. Work spans product launches (Edel Golf's wedge, irons, and putter national rollouts), brand anthems, TV and Super Bowl spots, social/UGC content production, website redesigns, and performance media buying across Meta and Google. Notable outcomes include 2024 Silver People's Telly and two 2025 Telly Awards for the RST 'Flocal' campaign, a 9.42x ROAS on a Meta lead-form campaign, +493% Instagram follower growth, and 650,000+ impressions in the first 30 days of a single RST campaign.

The business model is project-based professional services with a managed-services layer on top, sold via direct consultative sales, free discovery calls, and a referral pipeline. Pricing is quote-only with disclosed intake tiers up to $20,000+ per engagement (and multi-year contracts implied for signature projects), and the agency's data partnership with FlyMyAirport/Airport One extends the offering into attribution and traveler-journey measurement for airport clients.
