About Sundin Associates Email Marketing company in Natick, United States
Were a team of scrappy techies marketing nerds data buffs and design geeks who would never call ourselves ’gurus’ or ’ninjas’ – mostly because we believe there is always more to learn. (But we dont mind if you call us that).
Were always smart sometimes sexy but never showy. Were creative but pragmatic.
As one of the first marketing agencies to focus solely on financial marketing over 40 years ago innovation is in our DNA.
Our teams creative endeavors – both inside and outside of the shop – fuel our signature ’figure-it-out’ mentality that drives us – and results for our clients.
They are strategic thinkers designers writers engineers artists photographers media planners and data junkies. They are also moms dads skiers cyclists painters potters bloggers and community activists bringing their collective experiences to the table to provide insight creativity and results.
