An Experienced And Proven
MSP Marketing Agency

Marketing a technology business is a different animal than an eCommerce brand or a local home builder.  You can't snap snazzy pictures and wow your prospects with landscaping photos or beautiful models holding the latest skincare product.

Technology businesses are intangible, intellectual, problem-solution-driven companies.  You have to distinguish yourself with incredible content, remarkable branding, and strategic advertising campaigns that attract your ideal customer.

Not just any agency can step in and fit the bill here.  You need marketers with technical backgrounds and creativity to market technical products and services.

At Tortoise and Hare Software, that's all we do.

Does This Sound Like You?

You represent a small but established MSP, usually with at least 10 employees and about 1 million in annual recurring revenue.

You've grown through referrals or founder-led hustle to date. You know that won't scale much further and you want to start building a more sustainable system.

You feel pretty good about being able to close qualified leads when you can get them on the phone.  Problem is, the phone's not ringing!

You have a desire to grow your company and plan to sell one day.  You know you need scale and EBITDA to get there.

You know that building a pipeline takes time and investment and you've got an idea of what sort of budget you'd like to allocate to get started.

You've tried working with a couple other agencies already with not much to show for it.  You're a more savvy purchaser as a result.

Hi there,

My name is Hunter, MBA, and founder of Tortoise and Hare Software. After a 10-year career in the technology sector configuring marketing software as an analyst and building SaaS applications as a developer, I founded Tortoise and Hare Software.  Since 2018 I've been building websites, running advertising campaigns, and managing a team of content creators to generate demand in the marketplace and help MSPs navigate the increasingly complex world of digital marketing.

I want to help do the same for you.

If you're ready to take your MSP to the next level, launch an inbound marketing program, and invest in your growth, then reach out today, and let's talk about how to make that happen.
