Maple Forest Marketing was born in 2009, when two Google AdWords nerds decided they'd rather build something of their own than keep making other people's campaigns brilliant.

Fraser Birt and Lloyd John had spent years in the trenches of search and SEM, and they walked away with two convictions: they had mastered the craft, and they were tired of watching client relationships treated like transactions. So they set out to build something different — a marketing brand people could actually trust, backed by real expertise and a genuine love for growth marketing.

That mindset shaped everything from day one. We paired technical know-how with real curiosity about why campaigns work, not just how to run them. No cookie-cutter playbooks — just smart, considered marketing built around what actually moves the needle for each client.

Fast forward through years of steady growth, and we've become the kind of partner businesses turn to when they're serious about their online presence and want results they can actually rely on.

We're also a bit stubborn about one thing: we don't do "vendor." Vendors show up, execute the brief, and disappear. We'd rather roll up our sleeves, get properly invested in your business, and stick around for the long haul as genuine strategic partners — because your wins are the whole point.
