Merritt Marketing Group is a digital marketing agency in Merritt, BC — built on a simple idea: small and local businesses deserve the same calibre of web, marketing, and automation the big companies get, from someone who actually picks up.
MMG was founded in 2003 by Mike Fairfield — marketer, web builder, and entrepreneur — in Merritt, British Columbia. Since then, the agency has built and managed digital presences for businesses, non-profits, schools, and community organizations across BC and beyond: from local shops in the Nicola Valley to names like Jim Pattison Radio Group and Nature's Path Foods.
Today, MMG specializes in trades businesses — HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, and contracting. Why the focus? Because trades owners are the most underserved businesses online: world-class at the work, too busy for the marketing, and routinely overcharged by agencies that hand them to a junior account manager and disappear. We built the Four-Step Growth System specifically to fix that.
The operation is deliberately lean. Based in a small community means low overhead and honest pricing. No account-management layer means the person who builds your system answers your call. Twenty years of doing this means the advice is real — what works, what doesn't, and what you genuinely don't need to pay for.
Real clients, real words — collected over twenty years of doing the work.
