The Green Internet Group Team

A good client relationship is built on mutual success, trust, responsibility, and of course, excellent work. We don't always get it right, but we always make it right.

Based in Springfield, MA, The Green Internet Group consists of marketing, business and technology veterans who have worked for large advertising agencies, public relations firms and internet marketing companies serving national brand clients before becoming business owners ourselves. Using our collective skills and experience, we provide small to medium size businesses with the same strategic advantages that many Fortune 500 companies enjoy.

We work with companies to develop a long-term marketing strategy, blending best practices in online and offline marketing with emerging technologies.

Our work is based upon the philosophy that business objectives, operations, marketing, sales, and customer experience must be in alignment for long-term profitability.

We prefer long-term relationships during which website design, email marketing campaigns, print advertising, mobile marketing and social media strategies are blended into comprehensive, integrated marketing plans, with the optimum marketing mix determined by return on investment, not the latest fads.

We’re always happy to brainstorm without obligation, so call us with your marketing questions. We love talking with business owners!
