In an industry dominated by holding companies and gigabyte-sized agencies, Anthologic proves that size is irrelevant when you have collective expertise. This Des Moines-based boutique isn't just surviving—it's thriving by doing what most agencies fail at: delivering brilliant creative backed by hard data.

"They're not chasing vanity metrics or scaling headcount—they're building a sustainable creative engine that punches 10x above its weight class."

Their keyword strategy reveals a deliberate focus. They're not competing for generic 'marketing agency' terms with 10,000+ monthly searches. Instead, they own branded and hyper-local terms. The search volume for 'anthologic' itself (2,860 monthly searches) suggests growing brand recognition that outpaces their actual traffic—creating a massive opportunity for conversion.

• Revenue per employee of $122K signals high-margin, high-value work (not cheap hourly rates)
• 47% direct traffic indicates strong brand equity and referral networks
• Tech stack is lean but modern (Tailwind, jQuery, Slick) - no bloated enterprise tools
• Social presence is active but focused (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram) - no TikTok noise
