About Us
Our Marketing Philosophy
Lots of people understand the digital marketing world. Lots of other people understand the financial world. But there are few who are masters at both. Steep Digital Marketing’s secret is pairing the best digital marketers with the best financial advisors.
Who we serve
The trait that’s consistent in our most successful clients is that every one of them runs a growth-oriented practice. Whether it’s getting from $5M to $10M or from $50M to $100M, we’re passionate about helping growth-oriented businesses explode their production with targeted direct-response digital marketing.
How we’re different
We’ve seen it a thousand times … a marketing company pitches a program that promises to be the silver bullet and is guaranteed to create overnight success. This is NOT one of those programs, and we’re NOT one of those companies. We know reaching the top takes time, careful planning and LOTS of hard work. But for those willing to take the steep journey with us, there’s a summit out there we’re ready to conquer with you.

Summitting Steep’s 14ers
Across Colorado there are 58 “14ers” — mountain peaks exceeding 14,000 feet. Summiting even the easiest 14er tests your dedication and drive and reveals you are in dire need of more cardio.
At Steep, we have 14 of our own “14ers” that represent our values, ethics and culture. Each Steep 14er embodies an aspect of what it means to be a good Steep teammate.
