About The Cypress Group
You Know Your Business. We Know Marketing.
Let’s Talk.We founded The Cypress Group in 2004 under the belief that marketing agencies didn’t have to be intimidating, pricey, or over the top. Instead, agencies just need to capture and extend what made a business work in the first place. We merged this belief with our industry savvy, and we started The Cypress Group.
We’ve stayed true to our roots, and we’ve cultivated continuous relationships by taking our clients’ fires to heart and responding to them wisely. The result? Our client list is nearly 100 percent referral based.
What You Don’t Get Is a Huge Invoice
We provide efficient, high-quality marketing solutions without the overhead of a typical agency.
We’ve joined forces with designers, programmers, and writers across the nation who get our model. Because our team is both digital and solid, our costs—and yours—stay reasonable.
