About Sumner Digital

A small agency, run by the people who do the work

Sumner Digital is a boutique marketing agency in Jacksonville, FL. Three of us work here full time, and you work with us directly.

Our story

Agency experience, in a boutique shop

Jeane Sumner trained at the Herron School of Art, then spent years as an art director and creative director at an Indianapolis advertising agency, where she became a partner. Her own practice goes back to 2002 under earlier names, and it's been Sumner Digital, in Florida, since 2011.

You get the standard of work she learned there, straight from the people doing it.

How we got here

Same family, more than twenty years in

We're home-based and remote, and we've always paid our own way. Decisions get made by the people doing the work.

Start a conversation
  1. 2002 Where it startsThe work begins under earlier names. It grew out of Jeane's independent practice after her agency years in Indianapolis.
  2. 2011 Sumner Digital opens in FloridaSumner Digital is founded in Florida as a boutique, full-service marketing agency.
  3. 2020 Website HQ becomes its own companyOur WordPress hosting, maintenance and security work is split out as Website HQ, which now looks after more than 200 small business websites.
  4. Today Five retainers and Findability OSWe work with up to five retainer clients at a time, so each one gets hands-on work from us. We run their search work on Findability OS, our own method and tools for getting found in Google and in AI answer engines.

Who we work with

Marketing teams of one to four

Our clients are business-to-business companies: manufacturers, software developers, service providers and larger Jacksonville-area businesses. The person who calls us is usually a marketing director or vice president, and sometimes the chief operating officer at a smaller firm.

They have a capable team and more work than that team can finish. We take the creative, design, web and strategy pieces that keep slipping, on one retainer at one blended rate.

What we turn down

We don't take on standalone social media management (we refer that out) or one-off graphic design projects. Saying so up front saves both of us a call.
