Why Salem Agency

Core Mission

We believe that truly impactful brands inspire their audiences to action, to dream, to change; they leave an impression on their audiences and wield genuine influence. Creating work like this is our passion, it’s what brought us together, and it’s what keeps us moving forward.

Core Philosophy

Our core philosophy is to indelibly place critical importance on each unique client we are called to serve by honing and sharpening their distinct brand into something more extraordinary so it has a greater opportunity to cut through the noise, be accurately heard, and to stand apart with sustained competitive advantage.

Core Promise

We solemnly promise to treat each valued client with utmost respect, importance, and attention-to-detail. Our longstanding client promise is to render the same care and thoughtfulness with their distinct business strategy as though it is our own. Our success is graded on the successful results of each client served. We adamantly promise to give each client the very best of what we’ve got!

Trust & Confidentiality

We never have nor will ever disclose our client portfolios (files, conversations, strategies, plans) outside the parameters of the contracted proprietary professional relationship.

Words About Our Performance, Results, and Solutions

My expectations were exceeded. This is the beginning of a relationship I know will be a tremendous benefit to my business. Tony and his firm have earned my trust, I highly recommend them if you are looking for quality and a competitive edge in the market place that sits on a foundation of integrity.

Tony and Salem Agency bring out excitement and a lot of energy with great marketing and sales skills. A wise business strategist, he is there to help you succeed and benefit from your own business and what it takes to market yourself and business to others.

Terry Ann Barnett
Patient Services Specialist
Tony and his firm brings an impressive skill set to the table as an organizer/manager and leader. But, what impresses me most is his attitude. Tony brings a “get things done” mentality to every project that, without fail, ends in results. His ability to clearly see what needs to be done to complete a task, then take immediate action to clear away obstacles to success, sets him apart. What is more, his dynamic personality brings those around him along for the ride; making his associates, colleagues, and reports far more productive.

Roger Pike
Director of Enterprise Services
Tony Marino is one of a kind. His passion for his clients and what he does shows in the final product. Tony helped Trinity Carpet build a beautiful website. He also provided us with wonderful tools in client acquisition, marketing plans and the ability to create a lasting brand in the market place. I would recommend Tony to any business looking to take their brand and business to the next level. Tony will not only provide a wonderful service for your company, but he will also motivate you to excel. After every meeting with Tony I left feeling that I could conquer the world!

Nate Blauer
Builder Account Manager
Tony is a creative, quick and insightful thinker who’s not afraid of putting ideas out for review. He’s a doer and knows that action is the best way forward. Together we did a series of online trainings and it was a joy and inspiration to work with Tony to create and deliver the online classes on everything from podcasting, audio production and video production to internet marketing, SEO and more. Always look forward to working with Tony.

Tim Patterson
Tradeshow Consultant, Author, Podcaster
I will put this in simple terms: When you are thinking of podcasting and monetization at the same time, you need to picture Tony Marino in your mind first and foremost. And once you’ve heard that big, booming, friendly voice of his, you’ll never forget Tony delivers because of talent, experience, and industry expertise.
