When You Hire Merkley Marketing Group — You Get Me, Joe Merkley
Not Just a Team — A Legacy
When you work with Merkley Marketing Group, you’re not passed off to junior account reps or hidden behind layers of outsourced teams. You work directly with me — Joe Merkley, The Digital Cowboy. I bring decades of hands-on marketing experience to every project, and I don’t believe in shortcuts.
With over 40 years in marketing and sales, I’ve had the honor of representing some of the world’s most respected luxury brands — including Rolex, Patek Philippe, David Yurman, and Montblanc. I also led two multi-million-dollar luxury retail businesses for nearly four decades, where elite service and smart, sustainable growth were my daily priorities.
