Revenue per head is calculated, not reported — it is revenue divided by local staff, and it flatters firms that book media through a small team. Read it as a shape, not a scoreboard.
The part of the scene you can walk into. Every group here was checked on its own page, not from a search result — because search will tell you all of these are thriving. Nine of them aren't.
Founders, marketers and developers; demos and talks on applied AI for real businesses. Hosted at STATION Austin.
Morning meetup at Cosmic Coffee for people building consumer packaged-goods brands — getting product to market.
Ecommerce owners plus the people who do their fulfilment, SEO, paid traffic and email. Recent sessions on retention.
The Austin chapter of the American Marketing Association — Marketing Mornings, Power Hours, Lunch & Learns, socials. Its Meetup page is stale; the chapter site is where the events are.
Marketers and founders meeting at Celis Brewery. Appears to be the same event series as the listing below, run by the same organisers.
Sister listing to the Network above, sharing the same SEO/SEM events at Celis Brewery.
Content strategists, content designers, UX writers and editors. The page still says it meets 'as often as possible'.
Host of the Austin Marketing Happy Hour. The page has said it is 'on hiatus since Covid' and 'will soon be returning' for six years.
Austin's SEO/SEM/PPC group. Still listed, still has 2,302 members, and has not held an event since 2017.
The Austin chapter of the American Marketing Association. Power Hours, Marketing Mornings, Lunch & Learns, socials.
Austin's advertising and creative industry association, an American Advertising Federation affiliate. Runs the local ADDY Awards.
The Austin chapter of the Public Relations Society of America — agency, corporate, government and nonprofit PR, plus APR accreditation prep.
Once described itself as 500+ members drawing 2,500+ event-goers a year. Its domain now serves an expired-hosting page and its Meetup group has been deleted.
Morning talks and networking for social media and marketing people. Last public activity looks like 2020, but Facebook hides post dates from checking, so this is unconfirmed rather than declared dead.
Founded by David "DG" Gonzalez in September 2008 and billed as the longest-running in-person meetup for founders and digital marketers — a no-pitch social built on the premise that the best information at any marketing event happens at the bar. Monthly, 2nd Thursday, at Speakeasy on Congress.
The marketing programming runs under the Innovation Conference's Brand & Marketing track. "SXSW Interactive" is retired branding.
Five days of Austin entrepreneur and tech community events; the direct successor to Austin Startup Week, which started in 2011.
The national two-day digital marketing series used to stop in Austin. There is no Austin date on the 2026 calendar.
These turn up in search results — with descriptions, with meeting times — and do not exist. This is why the statuses above are checked by hand.
Austin's marketing industry is top-heavy and long-tailed. Of $353.1M in Austin-office revenue across 38 firms, 28% runs through the single largest shop, and the top three together account for 45%. The other 35 firms split what's left. That is the first thing to understand about hiring here: the name you know and the shop that will actually answer your email are rarely the same company.
The biggest firm bills $97.2M with 310 people. Sort this list by revenue per head and the top of it is Greatest Common Factory — $3.8M booked by 1 person. That is not a superpower, it is a ratio with a denominator of one, and it tells you nothing you can hire against. 3 firms here run on two people or fewer.
Among firms with ten or more staff, where the number starts meaning something, TSEG is the densest at $936K per head across 18 people — roughly 3× the $314K median. Density usually tracks how much money passes through a firm versus how much work happens inside it, so read it as a shape, not a score: big budgets through small teams look identical to nothing at all.
Austin's web developers file as their own category: 12 firms, $38.4M, 120 people. But 7 of those 12 list marketing services of their own — SEO, content strategy, branding, and now answer-engine optimization. If you need a site and someone to make it findable, that overlap is where to look. Use the “anyone doing marketing” filter above.
Firms are Austin-area advertising, marketing and PR companies across Travis, Williamson, Hays, Bastrop, Caldwell and Burnet counties. Revenue is the Austin office only, for 2024, as filed by each firm. Headcount is the Austin office, 2025, excluding independent contractors. Web developers are a separate list and are marked as such; they are not counted in the marketing totals.
Firms self-report these figures, so read them as filed rather than audited. Where a firm named two principals, the source lists it twice — those rows are merged here into one firm with both people credited, which is why the totals are lower than a naive count. Revenue per head is the only number computed rather than reported.
Nothing on this page is sponsored and no firm paid to appear or to rank. Corrections: if a number here is wrong, it gets fixed.
