About BERQ Marketing

The Spark: Why BERQ Exists

Hilary Counts founded BERQ Marketing in 2018 with a singular mission: to ensure passionate small businesses—the backbone of our local communities—could truly be seen in the digital age.

She realized the digital landscape was pushing local entrepreneurs into a confusing choice: expensive, old-school advertising like billboards and newspaper ads, or a complex maze of online platforms they didn't have time to manage.

BERQ Marketing was created as the response. We provide the enterprise-level presence and control small businesses need to compete and connect with their local customers, allowing them to focus on the purpose that drives them.

Our Core Values

We believe the best marketing partnerships are built on shared purpose and clear expectations. These values guide every strategy and decision we make:

Excellence in Execution: We believe that digital visibility must be built on a foundation of accuracy, consistency, and measurable results. We don't just complete a task; we guarantee the solution.
Character & Integrity: We commit to full transparency, honest reporting, and ethical practices. You deserve a partner you can trust completely with your digital identity.
True Partnership: Your business has a purpose, and we are dedicated to fulfilling it. We step into your organization as an extension of your team, not just a vendor.
