Who we are

I'm Tonya Mecum, founder of The Marketing Method CO.

My career in digital strategy began in 2002, working in corporate partnerships alongside some of the world’s largest internet service and content providers. At that time, digital marketing was still being invented—and I had a front-row seat to how online behavior, content consumption, and growth strategies were being shaped at scale.

Over the last two decades, I’ve watched digital marketing evolve dramatically:
from basic email outreach,
to targeted campaigns,
to today’s reality—where visibility requires an EVERYWHERE strategy.

Search is no longer confined to a website or a single platform. As the industry has evolved, so has the way people discover, evaluate, and choose businesses. SEO today isn’t just about ranking a page—it’s about being present and trusted across search engines, maps, social platforms, AI-driven results, and local communities.



With 20+ years of experience spanning corporate strategy, retail operations, and over a decade as a small business owner, I’ve seen a common misconception hold businesses back - that simply having a website is enough.

It isn’t.

The landscape has changed, and businesses that want to grow must meet their customers where they already are—consistently, clearly, and with purpose.

I believe deeply that when local businesses thrive, communities thrive.

My mission is to help business owners build sustainable visibility, attract the right customers, and create the stability and freedom they envisioned when they decided to build something of their own—not just for themselves, but for their families and their future.
