Columbus, Ohio · Clients Worldwide

A Columbus, Ohio marketing agency with clients worldwide.

Stopwatch Creative is a branding, marketing and growth agency based in Columbus, Ohio. Since 2017 we've helped founders launch, raise capital and sell their companies, including two acquisitions worth more than $50 million combined, for clients across the Midwest, the U.S. and beyond.

Midwest roots

Built in Columbus since 2017.

Share Mobility, a Columbus company, went from early stage to a $12M Series A with us in its corner. Mahajan Therapeutics, a six-office behavioral health practice based in Dayton, built its brand and search presence with us before its acquisition by BayMark Health Services. Our work and founders have been featured by Columbus Underground, Spectrum News 1 and Innovate New Albany.

Worldwide clients

Hired for results, not a zip code.

Being Midwest-based has never meant Midwest-only. Founders hire us because the work performs: brands that win customers, stories that close rounds, companies that sell. We work with clients wherever they're building, on calls, in shared workspaces and on the ground when it matters.

Why founders choose a Midwest agency.

Operators and investors on the team

We've sat on the founder side and the investor side of the table.

Coastal-level work, without coastal overhead

Senior people on every account.

One team from launch to exit

Strategy, capital and creative, without handoffs between three vendors.

Questions founders ask.

Where is Stopwatch Creative located?

Columbus, Ohio. We serve clients across the Midwest, the U.S. and internationally.

Do you only work with Ohio companies?

No. We work with founders wherever they're building. What they share is wanting a marketing partner that outperforms the rest.

Can we meet in person?

Yes, in Columbus and the surrounding region, and on-site elsewhere for workshops and launches.
