David HittBCA is proud to welcome David Hitt, President and Founder of Splat, Inc., as our newest member in the exclusive category of Website Marketing & Design.
David founded Splat in 2001, which means he has spent the last 25 years watching digital trends, platforms, tactics and buzzwords come and go. Through all of it, Splat has remained focused on something much more enduring: understanding what a business is actually trying to accomplish and building the right strategy to get there.
Based in Philadelphia, Splat is a digital marketing and web development agency that does two things many agencies separate — builds the website and drives people to it.
One team. One accountable partner. No hand-offs.
It is an approach that fits particularly well with the kinds of companies Splat enjoys working with: businesses led by owners and executives who want a direct relationship with the people actually doing the work.
Rather than beginning with a predetermined set of tactics, Splat starts with research. The team takes a holistic, objective-focused approach to digital marketing and design, testing what works instead of simply repeating whatever happens to be trending.
And just as importantly, they know what they don’t do.
For disciplines outside Splat’s core expertise — including areas like video, public relations and branding — David and his team collaborate with specialists who live and breathe those disciplines. It is a philosophy built around putting the right people around the table rather than trying to be everything to everyone.
That mindset feels very familiar at BCA.
David brings more than two decades of entrepreneurial experience to our community. He earned his Bachelor of Arts from Wesleyan University and later his master’s degree from Cornell University before ultimately building Splat into the agency it is today.
Outside the office, David is an avid fan of comic book universes and a competitive bowler — two details we suspect may generate almost as many conversations with fellow members as digital marketing will.
After 25 years, Splat has outlived most of the digital tactics clients once asked them about.
As David and his team put it, they plan to outlive the next batch, too.
We’re excited to welcome David Hitt and Splat, Inc. to the BCA family and look forward to the relationships he will build throughout our community.
