Marketing Agency · Knoxville, TN

A Knoxville marketing agency that works like your own marketing team.

Most Knoxville businesses cannot justify a full in-house marketing department. Forty-Second Street gives you one anyway: brand, website, SEO, ads, social and AI search, run by a 6–10 person team in Maryville/Knoxville that has been doing this since 2010.

The short answer

What does a marketing agency in Knoxville do?

A Knoxville marketing agency plans and runs the work that brings in customers: your brand and website, search engine optimization, paid ads on Google and Facebook, social media, email and review generation. A good one ties all of it to the number that matters to you, usually calls, booked appointments or sales.

One team, not five vendors

Your web designer, SEO person and ad manager sit in the same room, so your logo, site, ads and Google profile all say the same thing.

Built around your numbers

We start with what a customer is worth to you and work backward to a budget, instead of selling you a package.

Local, but not small

Knoxville roots and a second office in Tampa Bay. You get local judgment with the depth of a team that runs campaigns in two markets.
