## 2008 — Just Getting Started

We usually say our [Chicago marketing agency](https://comradeweb.com/digital-marketing-agency-chicago/) started in a basement, but our picture proves it was actually a balcony.

## 2012 — Bigger Office

Comrade moved to a bigger office and established [Web Design, Development](https://comradeweb.com/web-design/), and [SEO departments](https://comradeweb.com/seo/). That was a period of learning, experimenting, successes, and a lot of mistakes. It was a wild beginning, but we had a lot of fun in the process.

## 2015 — Moved to New Office

We moved to our existing office and established [Digital Marketing](https://comradeweb.com/marketing/) and [Inbound Marketing services](https://comradeweb.com/content-marketing/). We started to dream bigger.

## Today — Still Growing, Still Learning

So, where are we today?

- Still having a lot of fun with the best team in the world.
- Successfully launched 200+ websites.
- Added successful digital marketing and lead generation case studies.
- Established client retention rate at 93%.
- Completed numerous certifications, including Google AdWords and Inbound Marketing.
- Extensive expertise in industries such as Legal, eCommerce, Construction/Remodeling, Healthcare, IT, and Small business Marketing
- Still learning every day.

Dear colleagues, clients, partners, and friends! Thank you for your support, feedback, and lessons! Without you, we wouldn’t make it to 10! We look forward to working with you for the next 10 years and beyond!
