Rokkit Marketing was formed from passion, intrigue and vision.
After years of providing in-house marketing support, Rokkit Marketing leader, Ruth O’Keefe, found herself ahead of a new wave of opportunity in the form of digital and social marketing.
From curiosity to intrigue and intrigue to knowledge, Rokkit Marketing was built brick by brick bringing together talent, vision and a culture established on relationships and collaboration.
Today, Rokkit Marketing focuses its curiosity for small businesses and industry-leading knowledge into strategic and well executed digital campaigns. While the terminology, trends and acronyms may seem daunting to an untrained eye – to Rokkit, a well-orchestrated and optimized result for our premier clients is the passion which makes us stick out.
