About Our Full Service Digital Marketing Agency

Maratopia was founded by its CEO Stephen Harvey-Franklin (Steve to everyone except Mum).

Steve’s first exposure to digital marketing services was in the early days of the internet back in 1996 and through the 90s, running a number stock photo, music, effects and footage agencies in London.

The stunning success enjoyed, combined a fast growing audio visual market, an industry roll up, global distribution and a product that could be digitised, sold and delivered online.

Having helped lead one of the world’s leading stock content agencies into this new online e-commerce world, he decided to become poacher turned gamekeeper. Taking the incredible early learnings from client side to agency side. Not many agencies are born from e-commerce success nor the client side ethos.

Maratopia more than most understand the heartbeat of businesses and their need for results, deliverability, accountability and return on investment. That’s why we concentrate so vehemently on being fact and evidenced based, plain English. No false hopes, no smoke and mirrors here, just statistical analysis.

For example, we have developed a unique approach to search marketing analysis, taking into account over 20 key drivers of search position to analyse and devise the precise ingredients required for any given keyword to make the top 10 of Google’s search results.

This is why we spend so long analysing potential clients. Our Search Space Analysis is a process forever being refined to understand a site’s search space, keywords, content , core web vitals ,backlinks and competitors , to create the perfect picture of the search environment and the strengths and weaknesses of their competitors.

Only by understanding strengths and weaknesses (gap analysis on each level) can you truly identify what is needed to beat each and every competitor as cost effectively as possible.
