In January 2006, Angie and Will Scott launched Search Influence in a spare bedroom in their New Orleans home with one simple goal: help businesses succeed online.
Now, the 10-year-old company is the largest online marketing company on the Gulf Coast with 85 full-time employees and 125 contract writers. Last year alone, they hired 36 New Orleans area employees. Additionally, more than 70% of our staff is women.
When the founders were asked if they envisioned themselves here 10 years later, they said, “Who knew, really? Some days it feels like 10 years is an eternity, others it feel like it was an instant. The business is great, and in 2016, we’ll likely hit 100 local New Orleans area employees.”
To celebrate their 10th anniversary, they hosted a giveaway offering $10,000 worth of free online marketing services. The prize was awarded to the New Orleans Shotokan Academy, a martial arts studio.
