Custom Marketing Solutions:
We Build Remarkable Technology Brands That Drive Durable Growth

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 technology company, usually with at least 10 employees and over 1 million in annual recurring revenue.

You've grown through referrals or founder led hustle to date. You know that won't scale 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.

Hunter Nelson President of Tortoise and Hare Software

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 writers to create demand in the marketplace and help companies navigate the increasingly complex world of digital marketing.

I want to help do the same for you.

If you're ready to take your company 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.

Our Process:
The SDLC Of Marketing Success

If you've been working in tech for long, then you've likely heard of the systems development lifecycle or SDLC. As a b2b tech marketing agency, we share common values and common processes to help make the delivery process more digestible for our customers.  We use a modified SDLC to deliver marketing success.

Plan

The first step is to create the plan.  If you don't know where you're going, then anywhere is the right road.  We work with you to develop a plan and set of goals to reach with marketing efforts.

As a growing MSP, we knew that having the right marketing team was going to be a game-changer for our organization. AKAVEIL Technologies did a 180 after hiring Tortoise and Hare Software. Their strategy was in line with our business goals and objectives. In only two short months we started seeing major progress and net new leads.
