Tommy started mmldigi in 2016 with a single wager: Chinese B2B manufacturers don't need bigger marketing. They need slower, deeper marketing that compounds.
Nine years and 2,000 businesses later, the bet is still running. The agency is 60 people across Guangzhou and overseas, still in-house on every layer of the stack, still refusing to take on clients we don't think we can move the needle for.
mmldigi is short for "slowly, digital marketing." The name is the strategy. In a market dominated by agencies promising "page 1 in 90 days" and AI content factories pumping out generic copy, we made the opposite bet.
Here's the underlying advantage: we're salespeople by training, not designers. Tommy started in B2B sales in 2005. Twenty years of being on the buyer's side before mmldigi ever shipped a site. The leadership team brings the same DNA: people who closed deals, who lost them, who learned by carrying the bag. That's why every site we build starts with a business deep-dive, not a wireframe.
We do every layer of the stack in-house: building, copywriting, photography, video, SEO, GEO, paid search, paid social, brand design. Not because it's profitable for an agency (it isn't, in the short run). Because fragmented agency stacks produce fragmented results, and B2B businesses deserve better.
Our typical client engagement runs 5 to 10 years. The site we ship in year one is the site we still operate in year ten. Bigger, refined, but the same engine. That's not common in this industry. That's the point.
Most of our team has been with us for years. Designers who started junior and now lead projects, content writers who learned the business by living inside it. We don't outsource the work that matters.
We test new platforms, new content formats, new attribution methods before clients ask. AI search wasn't on anyone's roadmap in 2023. We were testing it in 2024.
We hire for ambition and care. Most of our team holds 211/985-tier degrees, but credentials are the floor. What we actually screen for is whether someone wants to be excellent.
B2B marketing is a specific game with specific rules. We hire people who want to learn those rules deeply. Not generalists who treat every client like the last one.
We say what we actually think. To each other and to clients. Most agencies optimize for "client never gets upset." We optimize for "client gets results."
We don't list every badge we've collected. Below are the four institutional credentials that carry real procurement weight for B2B buyers.
Direct certification from Google for paid search and digital advertising delivery. Held through annual platform-wide audits of campaign hygiene, account structure, and performance standards.
Featured industry partner in CCTV's "Craftsmanship of a Great Nation" business documentary series. Recognizing companies that build slowly and deeply rather than scaling at the cost of quality.
Vice President member of the Guangdong Provincial E-Commerce Association. One of the most active regional bodies for cross-border e-commerce in China.
National High-Tech Enterprise designation from China's Ministry of Science and Technology. Granted to companies meeting strict criteria on R&D, IP development, and technical workforce composition.
We don't take every client who comes to us. If you're a B2B business where the engine could compound for 5+ years. Let's see if we're the right team to run it.
