Who is Digital Cheddar?

We’re a lean and hungry digital advertising agency. Founded in 2014 by Todd Riegler as a solo venture, the company has grown consistently since then.  However, the goal is not to be a 100 person agency, rather to stay lean and fully connected with all of our clients.  Fun fact about the name:  Digital Cheddar basically means digital money, but the Cheddar part of the name is an homage to The Cheese Lady, a group of Woman-Owned cheese shop franchises in Michigan founded by Todd’s mother and run by both of his parents.  Shout out to Kathleen and John.

Our Approach to Digital Marketing is based on our awareness that we don’t know everything 

While we have an enormous amount of experience running successful campaigns, this isn’t a copy and paste industry.  What works for one company may not work with another.  We set up every marketing initiative using best practices and with clear, agreed upon expectations.  Then, we meticulously measure results and make adjustments. We move towards what’s working well and away from what isn’t.  Seems simple.

Our Promises

We do things a little differently than most advertising / marketing agencies, and you’re going to like it.

Transparency

We don’t charge margin on our media buys.  Most agencies take a percentage of your media buy, which gives them a motive to suggest spending more money, even if it’s not the right thing to do.  We provide 24/7 dashboard access that will show the exact amount you’re spending, where and how it’s being spent, and the results of that spend. Our fees are completely separate and based on the actual work being performed.

Accountability

I, Todd Macdonald Riegler, am personally accountable for every piece of work for every client.  I either do the work myself, or it’s done by Kim Peavler or Brooke Ritter.  Every client has our personal email  addresses and cell numbers.

Honesty

We’re not just order takers. Every marketing endeavor should have a desired outcome.  If we don’t believe the tactics you’d like to employ will get you what you want, we’re going to tell you.  If we’ve suggested tactics that have been given time to work but are underperforming, we’ll address that head-on and pivot.  We set clear expectations and goals and celebrate victories.
