We Build
Durham Brands.
From the American Tobacco Campus to Brightleaf Square, we give Durham companies one team for brand, creative, marketing and paid media, built for the Bull City.
Durham marketing agency
Marketing for the Bull City’s innovators.
Durham pairs Duke University and Duke Health with a deep life sciences and biotech cluster in and around Research Triangle Park, a fast-growing startup scene and a downtown reborn in former tobacco warehouses at the American Tobacco Campus and Brightleaf Square. We help Durham brands turn big ideas into real traction.
Biotech & Life Sciences
Durham biotech firms need marketing that is scientifically precise and investor-ready. We build brands, websites and campaigns that make the science land.
Healthcare
Health systems and practices in Durham serve patients from across the region. We create clear, compliant brands and campaigns that build trust.
Startups & Tech
Downtown startups compete for customers, capital and talent at once. We deliver brand, web and paid media that help them scale.
Food & Hospitality
Durham’s restaurant and hospitality scene draws diners from across the Triangle. We build brands and social campaigns that keep reservations coming.

Missions flown.
A referral from ToolCASE became a 20+ page custom WordPress rebuild for a national credit-union core provider: Partners directory, Events hub, Resources and a CMS a small marketing team can run, delivered within budget.
ToolCASE’s outsourced marketing team: two websites, a steady thought-leadership pipeline on the fraud beat, email programs, enriched prospect lists, pitch decks and trade-press strategy that has Credit Union Times editors keeping Sam in mind as a source.
Three years as the marketing team: a collateral redesign, a rebuilt benadvance.com, 20+ association resource centers and a Mailchimp program whose engaged-broker segment opens at 47–50%. Resource-center traffic went from near zero to 15,800+ pageviews.
