Our Story
Black Tie Digital Marketing was founded in 2010 by Scott Brazdo and Steve Buck with a simple but powerful belief that businesses grow faster when they are given clarity, confidence, and the freedom to dream bigger.
After years inside a traditional agency environment, they saw too many companies playing small, constrained by tactics instead of driven by vision. They set out to build an agency focused on the why behind growth helping brands define what they stand for, align their strategy with their values, and turn bold ideas into measurable results.
Scott brings deep strategic and business insight shaped by years of guiding regional, national, and global brands, while Steve brings operational excellence, process driven leadership, and an infectious optimism that keeps teams moving forward. Together, they built Black Tie Digital Marketing to help businesses dream bigger, grow smarter, and create momentum that lasts.
