Hammer & Nail Marketing
A digital web studio creating engaging
online experiences
Hammer and Nail Marketing is a boutique marketing firm that helps small to mid-sized marinas get noticed by boaters.
We’re boaters ourselves from a background of operating a family-run marina. From a group of experts who know the water, let Hammer and Nail Marketing help you be the waterfront your local boaters see every time they cast off.
"The Hammer & Nail Marketing team demystified digital marketing for our marina. We're in the boating business, we're not in the tech business. We were skeptical at first, but quickly saw the value in going digital. Within 2 months of launching our marina's new website, we had a +50 ft vessel come into our marina as a direct result of seeing us online. They would have never found us otherwise. 5-stars across the board."
