Crew Marketing is the agency that Fortune 500s and fast-growing startups trust to win on social media. Data-driven strategies. Premium content. Measurable results.
Who We Help
We're not the right fit for everyone — and that's intentional. We focus on small and mid-sized businesses that want real results without the big agency price tag.
Large agencies in Minneapolis charge $3,000-$10,000/month and assign your account to a junior team member you'll never meet. At Crew Marketing, you work directly with Cale and Carly — and you get senior-level strategy at a price that works for a growing business.
Our Story
Husband and wife team Cale and Carly started Crew Marketing with one clear mission: to help small and mid-sized businesses grow through smart, strategic, and effective social media marketing. They saw too many great businesses being overlooked online — not because their product or service wasn't exceptional, but because they didn't have the time, tools, or team to build a powerful digital presence.
So they built Crew Marketing to change that. Based in Stillwater, MN, Cale and Carly bring a rare combination of creativity, strategy, and genuine care for every client they work with. They treat every brand like their own — obsessing over content, engagement, and results the way only true business owners can.
For over 3 years, Crew Marketing has been the trusted social media partner for businesses across the Twin Cities, Minnesota, the United States, and Europe. From local contractors and restaurants to national brands, they bring the same passion, professionalism, and drive to every single client — because to them, your growth is personal.
