Building the future on over a decade of proof

We’re not your typical marketing team - and that’s intentional.


AI rewards brands with real credibility
. A clear signal, not amplified noise. We turn what makes you credible into authority signals AI understands and humans trust. At 79, we’ve spent 15 years helping brands earn trust in the real world through clear positioning, credible content, and systems that scale.


Now, we build the systems that allow AI search to understand your value as deeply as humans do.


The tactics evolve. The work stays the same.

Wondering what we have experience in?

He're a short overview of the last few years for us:

a look at Our timeline

Rocky shoreline at dusk; calm water reflects the blue and pink sky, trees on the left.

Before algorithms ruled the world, we mastered the art of human connection. We spent our early years in the trenches of high-end design, video, and storytelling—learning exactly what makes a human being stop, look, and trust a brand.

CREATIVE & BRAND

DESIGN / BRAND / WEB / VIDEO

Two hikers ascending a rocky, mossy forest trail. Trees surround them.

Then, we mastered the mechanics of scale. We pivoted to hard performance marketing, managing millions in ad spend and building complex funnels. We learned the brutal reality of what converts traffic into revenue—and exactly where the leaks happen.

MAIN FOCUS: 2017-2023

GROWTH & FUNNELS

TRAFFIC / FUNNELS / TAGS / TARGETS

Now, we merge the art and the science. We don't use AI to replace the work; we use it to scale the authority signals we spent a decade perfecting. We build the systems that allow machines to understand your value as deeply as humans do.

MAIN FOCUS: 2024-PRESENT

I have leveraged 79 Dev several times now and there are a few reasons I keep coming back. Aside from the solid content they create, what is most useful to me is the discovery phase that Caleb and Sarah undertake with their clients when starting out on a project. I have learned on more than one occasion, that what I thought I needed, would not have actually hit the mark and instead would have cost me time and money. Yet, in each of those cases, I ended up with successful projects that hit all the key metrics and goals that were well defined during the planning. Caleb looks at things holistically, and yet drives down to the pragmatic details at the same time. It's hard to explain, but it's as though he immerses himself in the mind of your target audience AND the mind of his client all at once. It's because of that hyper-focused tenacity - driving to what and why, that 79 Dev has produced revenue-generating content/campaigns but they have also saved me time and money during the creation process.

The entire 79 Development team are experts that are willing to go above and beyond to see the success of your project, and company as a greater whole. One of the qualities I admire most about the team, and especially the owners, is their ability to use data-informed decisions to execute and pivot strategies. The team is quick to respond, execute, and implement ALWAYS which is hard to find in a typical agency setting. They always take the approach of letting clients guide the vision and they adapt the strategy to fit your goals. I have loved working with this team and they will continue to be my first contact for all new projects in the future!

They create such an incredible space to think out loud and get into a flow state while discussing your vision. Whether talking about online presence, or the impact we want to have, (without us having a clue how to get there) they find a way to turn those conversations into clear pathways and provide amazing support for each step taken along the way.The team wants to see you succeed in a way that makes it clear it's not 'just' a job to them - no vision is too big to make a reality, but they'll sure as heck let you know if you're thinking too small!TL;DR They're an insanely knowledgeable team who can create a strategy from the most expansive/messy thoughts and support you on the path from idea to implementation while crushing the marketing to bring in $$$$$$.

Working alongside 79 for many years, I can attest to their true, authentic passion for the work they do and the companies they choose to align with. They care immensely and are not your ‘typical’ marketing team. It’s almost hard to describe why or how they differ until you’ve met them, but they are some of the most patient, uniquely creative and truly impactful people I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with. If you find yourself with the opportunity to work with 79, there’s nothing to second guess. Once you’ve spoken with them, you’ll understand my 5-star review! 🌟 I’d give them 10 if it were an option.

79 Development played an integral role in shaping the identity of the Peterborough Regional Farmers Market. The Local Dirt Local Worth branding they developed to support the launch of the market was a powerful force in differentiating and enhancing the market's unique story and appeal.

Caleb and Sarah are awesome people to work with. They are both gifted, creative, trustworthy, and super responsible. They genuinely care about the business, project, and all people that are involved. They are visionaries that are able to translate any idea into brand elements and carry it through in all expressions. They also have a keen eye on market insights and customer behaviours. Highly recommended!
