Dockpoint is the culmination of a lot of experience and a determination to make our world better. Our founders came together at a time when communities feel divided and big corporations seem to hold all of the power. We imagine a company that can help everyday people through marketing. By utilizing our skills in digital marketing and web development, we can help a variety of organizations, especially political causes, nonprofits, and small businesses.
Before Dockpoint, our founders had a variety of experiences both personally and in the workplace. These experiences include lots of travel, jobs that span from teaching to piano tuning (plus tons of marketing experience, of course), and a fundamental understanding that communities are stronger when we support each other. In seeing how divided our communities have become over political issues, we hope to shed light on campaigns that will improve the quality of life for the average community member. We want to show citizens the importance of participating in their democracy in an informed way. The only way this can happen is through clear and targeted marketing that connects with voters.
Our founders also have experience in the nonprofit world. Volunteering is second nature to us — giving back to others through service is a simple way to improve our world. We are part of and support many nonprofits, so we understand the lack of access most nonprofits have to large budgets. In fact, most nonprofits are having to cut back on staffing to simply survive. At a time when budgets are thin, nonprofits need strong marketing — now more than ever — to maintain donor bases and effectively serve their communities. We have put together affordable marketing packages tailored for nonprofits. These services, including web development and maintenance, can help fill in staffing gaps while helping nonprofits connect to the public.
Dockpoint is a small business that works for small businesses. We have witnessed local businesses disappear or be purchased by private equity at a rapid pace in recent years. This consolidation of business offerings is not good for the average consumer, as prices typically surge to maximize profitability while competition is often suppressed. Dockpoint wants to work with small businesses that live in, work in, and help their communities. These are the companies that give back to local PTAs, volunteer their time, and make it a priority to know their customers. We want to help these companies stand out through marketing to show their local area that small businesses are the best choice.
Dockpoint is more than your typical marketing company — we are marketing with morals. Our goal is to ultimately do work that helps others and promote organizations that do the same. Together, we can look out for each other and shape our communities. Reach out today to find out how Dockpoint can help you!
