Celebrating 30 Years of Marketing Excellence Freelance Marketing Group Inc. (FMG) — 1996 to 2026
Three Decades of Serving Industrial Manufacturers
When Freelance Marketing Group Inc. opened its doors in 1996, the world of marketing looked nothing like it does today. Google didn’t exist yet. Websites were simple pages on dial-up connections. Social media, pay-per-click advertising, mobile websites, and AI-driven tools were still years away.
But even then, one thing was clear: industrial manufacturers needed a strategic partner who understood their world and could help them stand out in a rapidly changing economy.
Thirty years later, that belief has never changed. What has changed is everything else, and FMG has adapted through every wave of transformation.
This anniversary marks more than time passed. It represents resilience, adaptability, and a deep understanding of what it takes to help industrial companies grow year after year.
Family, Legacy & Longevity
FMG is one of Montana’s oldest digital-marketing companies and one of the longest-standing industrial marketing partners in the United States. That longevity didn’t happen by accident.
FMG has always been more than a business, it is a family-built, family-run company that has grown and evolved alongside our children, who quite literally grew up in the world of digital marketing. As technology shifted from HTML to WordPress, from MySpace to Facebook, from early SEO to today’s AI-driven tools, our kids grew right along with it. And as they became adults, they became an essential part of FMG’s evolution. Their insight has kept us sharp, supported continuous learning, and helped us adopt new platforms and emerging technologies that keep our clients ahead of the curve.
What began as a husband-and-wife team has expanded into a multi-generational effort, one that blends decades of experience with the fresh perspective and digital fluency of the next generation. That fusion has made FMG stronger, faster, and more innovative with each passing year.
This family foundation is matched by our staying power. Over 30 years, we’ve watched industrial buying cycles evolve, search behavior mature, and manufacturers shift decisively toward digital tools to reach engineers, buyers, and decision-makers. That history gives us a rare advantage: perspective. We know what works for the long haul, what’s simply a passing trend, and how to guide manufacturers through an increasingly complex digital landscape without wasting time, resources, or momentum.
Relationships That Stand the Test of Time
In a world where marketing agencies often come and go, FMG has thrived because we value relationships over transactions. Many of our clients have been with us for a decade or longer, some nearing twenty years. That kind of loyalty doesn’t happen by accident.
It happens because we take the time to know each business inside and out. We show up. We communicate openly. We take ownership of our work. We’re a family business that treats clients like partners, not projects.
Adapting Through Every Era of Digital Change
From the earliest websites to today’s advanced AI-driven technologies, FMG has not only survived every wave of change, we’ve grown through them and helped our clients stay ahead. We were there when SEO was just beginning, when PPC first appeared, when mobile reshaped the internet, when analytics became essential, and when content became the defining force behind digital visibility.
Now, as AI transforms how companies communicate and how buyers make decisions, FMG continues to integrate new tools and strategies that help manufacturers remain competitive without losing the honesty and clarity that define strong marketing.
Innovation has always been part of our story, but it’s rooted in experience, not hype.
A Track Record That Speaks for Itself
Through recessions, industry disruptions, and shifting markets, FMG has helped industrial companies grow stronger. We’ve supported expansions, product launches, SEO dominance, lead generation, and complete website transformations. We’ve watched clients scale into national visibility and build digital ecosystems that continue generating results long after the initial work is done.
What we deliver isn’t temporary. It builds, compounds, and endures.
Looking Ahead
As we celebrate everything FMG has accomplished, we’re also preparing for what’s next. The industrial sector is entering a new digital era—reshoring, automation, AI, and global competition are reshaping how manufacturers operate and communicate.
FMG is ready!
With the wisdom of experience, the energy of the next generation, and the dedication of a family committed to this industry, we are stepping into the next chapter with clarity and confidence.
