Moving Day Boxes

Marketicity's new spaceMarketicity made the big move last week to 109 North Main Street. Marketicity now resides in Columbia's historic William Vogt Building. The boxes are unpacked, the desks are set up and the computers are online. Our office looks rather different today than when it was originally occupied in 1893 as a department store selling everything from groceries, tin ware, stoves, farm equipment, guns, hardware, china and glass ware. And now – 117 years later a company moves in that helps market and promote those items and more. Marketicity is a full-service marketing and public relations firm that has an entire staff of professional writers, graphic artists and web developers.

Stop in to see the place, say hello and a sample of our services.
