Northwest Ohio

As a native of Northwest Ohio, I know this region has always been about rolling up sleeves and getting things done. From locally owned businesses to globally recognized brands in Toledo, Sandusky, Fremont, Defiance, Tiffin and everywhere in between, this corner of Ohio knows how to make an impact.

That’s why as the Northwest Ohio regional leader for thunder::tech, I couldn’t be more proud of the brands we partnered with and helped transform in this region over the past year! From reaching new customers to turning opportunities into measurable results, these organizations show exactly what happens when strategy meets action—and thunder::tech was fortunate to play a part in their success.

Here are a few recent marketing highlights from thunder::tech’s Northwest Ohio clients:
 

Bringing history to life at the National Museum of the Great Lakes

The thunder::tech Destination practice was thrilled to work with Toledo’s National Museum of the Great Lakes (NMGL) as they opened a new wing. They wanted more than a celebration—they wanted a fresh platform to share their story in a way that resonated with donors and the wider Great Lakes community.

To mark the occasion, we collaborated with the NMGL to create a large scale, commemorative print publication. The result was something that everyone involved was extremely proud of—an oversized, 120+ page coffee-table-worthy publication that captured the museum’s past, present and future, truly honoring the Great Lakes’ lasting impact on the region.

Our work continues in 2026 helping this museum continue to modernize its outreach and strengthen its brand.
 

From branding to e-commerce: a digital upgrade for Style Crest

After dozens of acquisitions across the country, Style Crest needed a stronger online presence, and because of the strong relationship we’d built over multiple projects, they turned to thunder::tech.

Working side by side with their team locally and nationwide, we launched several websites with elevated design, improved usability and integrated e-commerce functionality.

From branding their new HVAC services to creating tools like “Build Your Kit,” custom location pages and a store locator, we delivered a modernized experience that simplifies the customer journey and drives online sales—fueling continued growth.
 

Jumpstarting Ayers Mechanical’s online and community presence

With new ownership in place, Ayers Mechanical headquartered in Van Wert, Ohio aimed to improve its digital footprint and drive increased sales. Timing and the changing seasons meant there was no time to waste, so we launched organic social and targeted digital campaigns designed to generate leads. But it didn’t stop there: the Northwest Ohio is rooted in community, so we also partnered with local athletic departments to deepen the company’s local connections.

The results? Immediate inquiries, phone calls and new business—just in time for winter. As we head into 2026, these campaigns continue to evolve and grow with email strategy, streaming audio and AI-powered tactics, helping Ayers Mechanical connect with customers and stand out in a competitive market.

Looking back and moving forward

I’m proud of all the clients in my region, and these highlights are just a glimpse of what we accomplished in Northwest Ohio in 2025. From creative campaigns to modernized websites and results-driven lead generation, we’re thrilled to be helping our clients boom. In 2026 and beyond, we’ll continue partnering with the incredible brands across Greater Toledo and throughout Northwest Ohio—just as we’ve been doing for over 25 years.
