Ralli Marketing: A Digital Marketing Success Story

Before the pandemic, entrepreneur and fitness fanatic Dave Rafuse became a small business owner with the launch of Blended Athletics in 2013. As his gym and team expanded, David, business partner Kimberley Kidd and his director of marketing Jason Davis, discussed offering internal marketing services outside Blended Athletics. He didn’t know then that his entrepreneurial spirit would pay off when the pandemic temporarily closed his gym in 2020. David saw the pandemic as an opportunity, and Ralli Marketing was born! Building Ralli Marketing has been an exciting challenge for the whole team, bringing David back to his roots in sales. His ability to connect with prospective clients has laid the foundation to address challenges businesses often face, while building a business with an authentic entrepreneurial twist in the digital marketing world. Regardless of the client, Ralli Marketing approaches every project with the values of empathy, honesty, and trust. Their team is empowered to lead as business owners first and marketers second. With a commitment to providing honest feedback, Ralli Marketing prides itself on developing trusting relationships with each client. When assisting small businesses in developing their brand’s story, the Ralli team never loses sight of what makes their service unique. As a two-time business owner, Dave knows first-hand the influence digital tools have in helping build a strong customer following. The success of their clients speaks for itself, Ralli Marketing aligns its services with clients prepared to build sustainable growth.
“One thing our team believes strongly in is that technology and strategies are only as good as the execution that moves them forward.” - Dave Rafuse
At Ralli Marketing, educating clients on the potential of digital practices and the Google algorithm has been key! When businesses display their passion in a digestible format, it’s rewarding to generate revenue at scale. It’s these small wins that keep the Ralli team moving forward, and contribute to their team-centric approach. As their business now adjusts to life post-pandemic, Dave reflects on the practices that kept both of his businesses moving forward through difficult times. Ralli Marketing’s efforts to prioritize connectivity have strengthened the alignment and direction of the whole team.
