About Seventh Bear
Seventh Bear helps marketing teams grow wiser, more creative, and more valuable by delivering actionable strategies, modern training, fractional services, and content that works.
Modern marketing is stuck. Technology has made us faster, but it’s also made us busier—managing mundane tasks, chasing incremental change, and forgetting what truly matters. We’ve lost the Valuable Friction that sparks creativity and bold ideas. Marketing has become maintenance, and teams are stuck running on autopilot.
At Seventh Bear, we’re here to change that. We believe in bringing back joy, creativity, and purpose to marketing. It’s not about moving fast and breaking things—it’s about moving smarter and inventing things. We help your team grow sharper, more strategic, and more valuable over time with actionable wisdom, tailored strategies, and content that works.
This is Seventh Bear. And we know what good looks like.
Since our start, we’ve guided more than 500 organizations, including 20 of the Fortune 100. We see marketing as a creative business function, enhanced by technology, and specialize in optimizing its creation, management, and measurement to enhance customer experiences.
No Spam. No Funnels. Just Straight-Up Wisdom. We see marketing as a creative business function, enhanced by technology, but driven by human insight, strategic thinking, and the developed wisdom of the team to make decisions that truly matter.
Meet Seventh Bear
We’re scrappy marketing nerds with one unshakable belief: marketing doesn’t have to be boring—or broken. Now, sometimes we rant about content strategy at happy hour, or get weirdly passionate about fixing messy workflows. But that’s the thing about what we do: we help teams tell stories that matter, solve problems worth solving, and bring the spark back to marketing teams.
