OctoCog Marketing & Design

OctoCog Marketing & Design is a Marblehead agency that has been working on brands since 1999. It offers web design and development, digital marketing, branding and graphic design, and clients describe it taking on ongoing work such as social media management and digital ad campaigns after a site launches. Its clients have included a hotel, a social enterprise, a school and a skincare brand, and testimonials credit its strategy and word choices as well as its visuals.

Client testimonials give a sense of the range. The Hawthorne Hotel hired OctoCog for a new website and later handed over its social media marketing. Root, a North Shore social enterprise, credits new menu designs, a reworked website and digital ads with a 60 percent rise in catering activity. St. John’s Prep used the firm to market its summer programs, and a clinical skincare brand had it build and maintain an eCommerce site.
