Titan Growth was founded in 2004 by Danny Shepherd after he saw the need for sophisticated and results oriented search engine optimization (SEO) services. As search engine technology advanced, navigating constant changes required dedicated individuals with technical knowledge and skills to make sense of the data.

From the start, Titan Growth has been laser-focused on delivering results-driven SEO and paid media to help their clients grow their businesses. This led Titan to develop TitanBOT® in 2009, which has consistently helped their team deliver great service and results to their clients. In addition to TitanBot®, Titan offers many other services that they use to create a comprehensive SEO and paid media strategy that aligns with the overall goals of a company. Additional services include Titan SEO®: Search Engine Optimization, Paid Media Management, Email Prospecting, Amazon Marketing, Social Media Management, and Video Production.

Titan would like the video to touch on 2-3 of the below case studies.

• Client Spotlight: Mizuno
• Client Spotlight: Tuscany Pavers
• Client Spotlight: iCorps

Titan Growth is an award-winning digital marketing agency focusing primarily on search engine optimization (SEO) and paid media solutions for mid to enterprise-level businesses. Their diverse team of industry veterans and experts are passionate about helping clients achieve success, and they pride themselves on their patented search technology TitanBOT®. TitanBOT® is used to emulate search engine behaviors, allowing Titan Growth to understand how search engines like Google, Bing, and others crawl a client’s site, and thus how they may respond to certain changes. 

Your video should communicate that TitanBOT® allows their partners to see their websites exactly like search engines do, identify opportunities for testing, and better predict search outcomes. Additionally, the video should touch on 2-3 of their key case studies (see the Background/Additional Details section), and explain how there is a team of smart, forward-thinking professionals behind everything they do. They are open to live action, live action / motion graphic hybrids, or fully animated approaches. Whatever the medium, your video should drive potential partners to schedule a free consultation/conference call with Titan Growth.
