Reviews & Profile for Runningfish

Runningfish is a community-oriented web design and digital marketing agency created right here in beautiful San Diego, where many businesses, big and small, that relied on us to generate leads and keep them ahead of the competition in the online world.

When we first started 15 years ago, we struggled with the same thing as our clients: how do we get our work out there for people to see and make them choose us over many other competitors?

How did we master it? We put ourselves in our clients’ shoes and have been treating their companies as if they were ours. We empathized and we’ve built trusting relationships that span over a decade.

We’ve really constantly studied the unwritten rules and playbooks of the tech providers that govern the internet to understand what works and what doesn’t for your type of business. And we promise to be honest with you about it. But beyond that, we manage to keep our standards high and our prices accessible by constantly learning to do things better, faster, and more cost-effective for the people we work with.
We purposely do not work within just one industry. Instead, we collaborate with a great variety of companies from our community, including restaurants, law offices, automotive, construction, personal services, retail, and various others.

Moreover, we have chosen to focus on helping local businesses grow in the eclectic, diverse, innovative Southern California. We want to prevent them from going by unnoticed and reach their true potential. That keeps us on our toes and fills us up with a greater sense of purpose.

We have built an amazing creative team that has a passion for innovation and an eager ability to apply their imagination to meet the needs of your business with a uniquely different approach to every new project.

Our Values

We are transparent on what we can and cannot do and we are committed to delivering on our promises.
We believe that marketing should not be a luxury, nor a language that only a few understand. Thus, we empower our clients to make informed decisions about their marketing having their long-term prosperity in mind.
We are authentic, approachable, empathetic, and we treat our clients with consideration and an open mind.

Our Mission

We love to explore and listen to people’s stories and cultures. Over the years, we’ve discovered so many small businesses that bring such a charming and unique value to their local communities through the quality of their products, services or expertise, but they went by unnoticed because they did not have the means and knowledge to market themselves. So they stagnated or, even worse, failed. We’re talking about restaurants, law offices, freelancers, craftsmanship and wonderful enterprises from all sorts of industries.

We believe that marketing should not be a luxury, nor a language that only a few understand. We are dedicated to empowering small and medium businesses to create long-term growth by demystifying digital marketing. We use curated analytical tools and a human-centered approach to helping our clients understand the efforts and results of digital marketing. We make marketing a team effort at affordable prices, based on informed decisions. We believe in transparency so you will know what is the best way to market yourself and how your money is spent.
