Pittsburgh Entrepreneur Helps Businesses Succeed Online

Long fascinated by digital tools’ capacity to boost businesses’ growth, Jason Anthony started helping businesses improve their digital marketing when he was still in high school. As an adult, he continued offering his digital-marketing services as a side-gig — but when he lost his full-time sales job in 2011, he decided to turn his side-gig into a business. He launched the Jason Anthony Group, a Pittsburgh-based digital solutions agency that helps small businesses grow and succeed with cutting-edge web development, graphic design, and search optimization.

Today, Jason’s team supports about 150 clients each year — ranging from local construction companies to global software firms. The business has grown nearly 40% year over year, thanks to strong client relationships and smart use of technology. “I’m proud of my work,” Jason says. “When small businesses succeed, families and communities do, too.”

Much of Jason’s work — from improving search visibility to running online marketing campaigns — aims to help clients find new customers. Data-powered digital ads often play a key role in clients’ growth and success, because the ads allow them to connect with customers likely to be interested in their products and services  — without wasting money advertising to those whose interests don’t align.

Jason has become an advocate for small businesses, speaking up about new rules that could make digital tools more expensive and less effective. “Policymakers often overlook how laws aimed at large tech platforms can raise costs and create new barriers for small businesses. That’s why it’s so important for small businesses to have a voice in these discussions,” he says.
