Kansas City’s own start up called DivvyHQ is quietly signing on new customers including big name companies like Walmart, Sprint, Toyota and Bed Bath and Beyond.
Barely three years old, DivvyHQ has a team less than 10 people, with only one salesperson and no paid advertising. However they are working with huge brands, companies that are not easy accounts to land. Their content marketing tool is also used by the National Geographic Channel, QVC, Ocean Spray and other big companies.
DivvyHQ was born in 2005 when Kansas City native Brock Stechman moved his branding and design agency from Las Vegas back to his hometown. The agency evolved into app development and social media and Stechman began working on projects with Brody Dorland.
Working for clients helped them to realize that there were no fantastic project management tools for content to help you plan and organize blog posts to publish. Content marketing was only just becoming popular and instead of designing spreadsheets, they decided to create their own tool.
They created a ton of shareable content, gave webinars, spoke at conferences and networked at trade shows. This publicity helped with their SEO and visibility so big brands had an easier time in finding them.
DivvyHQ just launched version 2.0, and they’re in the process of hiring more people in sales, marketing, and development – their way of helping the community, while proving to the rest of the country what a quiet, Midwestern startup can do.
