Buzz Factory was born in October 2013 out of the frustration of a handful of digital marketing professionals who recognised that smaller market players do not access the same level of advice and expertise as bigger brands. Our founders set out to build a digital marketing agency that would help SMEs and non-profit organisations in their online sales and fundraising processes, communication, and marketing activities. Our founders know that many of today’s digital professionals are designers, artists, and developers, not marketing specialists. In contrast, Buzz Factory stands apart because we determine the success of a project not only from an IT or an aesthetic perspective; we approach projects from a sales and marketing standpoint, too. It is this method coupled with our chemistry and values that make the work we do so valuable for clients. This is what Buzz Factory is: engaged in each project to deliver our proven approach that comprises analysis, strategy, development, implementation, and optimisation of online activities. Working together in combination, these five aspects help clients to enable sales and speed up growth. We are one of the few digital marketing agencies in Switzerland to offer complete solutions in digital marketing. We provide services such as Digital Marketing Strategy, Search Engine Optimization (SEO), Pay-per-Click Advertising (PPC), Social Media Marketing (SMM), Branding, Web Design and Development web, Marketing Automation, and much more. Since its creation, Buzz Factory has worked with over 200 local and international companies in B2B, B2C & C2C. We are one of the top leading agencies in the country, and we conduct digital marketing research that gets featured in newspapers and magazines.
