These days the competition among internet marketers is pretty fierce. And it can be a huge turnoff dealing with all the slick and "sounds too good to be true" hypsters.

But there are some good, hardworking and reputable marketers. Witness Lori Shaw and Xtramark . She and her co-horts (she works with a variety of talent tailored to a client's needs) present themselves as "not your typical ad agency or bunch of web geeks". But savvy they are about marketing and the web.

I love the sense of humor combined with the professional businesslike approach. Over the years Xtramark has garnered praise for the custom campaigns that are created to meet the goals as well as a client's budget, big or small. There is clever writing, marketing tips, samples of work and the theme of going the xtra mile throughout the well-designed site. Take a look and consider Xtramark when you want something more than a typical ad campaign.
