About us
Clear strategies. Real results. Zero fluff.
We've been helping businesses sell online since before most of them had a website, back in 1995. The approach hasn't changed since: get clear on what matters, build only what moves the needle, and stick around to prove it worked.
Aidan Taylor Marketing started in 2004 (as ThoughtLava, before we rebranded in 2009), but the experience behind it goes back further. Our leadership has worked in digital marketing since 1995. Two decades in, we're here for the same reason we started: businesses deserve marketing that's honest, measurable, and actually worth the money.
That 1995 isn't a typo. Our founder built one of the world's first e-commerce websites, so we've been figuring out how to sell online since before most businesses had a website at all.
We've run work-from-anywhere from day one, which keeps us lean and lets us partner with great companies wherever they are. We've worked with everyone from local shops to companies doing tens of millions a year, but size has never been what we screen for.
What we care about is whether we believe in your product, your service, and your vision. If we can't stand behind what you do, we'll tell you up front. When we can, we go all in, and we tend to stay. Our longest client relationship started in 2005 and continues today.

Why choose us
What you can count on
Strategy before tactics
We design a unified framework first, so every tactic pulls in the same direction instead of competing for budget.
Transparent communication
Two-way dialogue, plain language, and a dedicated point of contact. You always know what we're doing and why.
Value over volume
We'd rather deliver a few things that genuinely move your business than a long list of deliverables that only looks impressive.
We stand behind the work
If we can't get behind your product or service, we'll tell you up front. We only take work we believe in.
Answers
Questions people ask
How long have you been in business?
Our leadership has worked in digital marketing since 1995. The company was founded in 2004 (originally as ThoughtLava Marketing) and rebranded to Aidan Taylor Marketing in 2009.
What's your longest client relationship, and what makes one last?
Our longest client relationship began in 2005 and continues today. Longevity comes from becoming a true strategic partner, staying affordable through efficient technology and focused communication, and minimizing rework.
What red flags should we watch for in other agencies?
Watch for agencies that prioritize aesthetics over strategy and measurement, that give up when things get hard, and that lack longevity. It takes a lot to stay in business for 10, 15, or 20 years.
