Mixtur is an outsource marketing firm that helps technology companies research, plan and execute marketing strategies and programs to accelerate growth. Our Virtual Marketing Team approach delivers access to a full marketing department or just the right expert.

Our reputation is built on years of client-side experience, leading the marketing and product development teams at publicly-traded, start-ups, and venture-backed firms in Internet services, software, and technology products and services. We know what works (and what doesn't) from every angle because at some point we've worn just about every hat in the marketing discipline (plus hats in sales, operations, customer service and even engineering and IT!).

We are passionate about the power of marketing done right and offer flexibile relationship options – on-demand, retained, or project-based – to meet the unique needs of our clients.

Mixtur's office is located in the City of Bainbridge Island, a short ferry ride from downtown Seattle. We also have a strong presence in Northern Virginia.
