Full-service digital marketing agency with AI search optimization focus
829 Studios is a Boston-based performance marketing agency built around Shopify development, SEO audits, and emerging AI search optimization (AEO/AISO) services. The stack reveals a services-first operation: Google Workspace, HubSpot, and design tools (Figma, Adobe) dominate, while engineering and data remain small (3 and 2 headcount). The project list and pain-point pattern—productizing services, scaling delivery frameworks, increasing deal flow—indicate a business shifting from bespoke client work toward repeatable service offerings and higher-margin productized solutions.
Notable leadership hires: Partnerships Director, Creative Director, Strategy Director, Account Director, Key Account Director
