Our Story

Curious by nature. Ambitious in spirit. Wired to live and breathe digital.

In 2008, as the pace of technological change continued to increase, many traditional marketing agencies struggled to keep up. The idea was born to develop an agile marketing firm with deep digital expertise, strategic execution, and the capacity for an ongoing relationship. To develop that digital partner, Mike Rynchek launched Spyder Trap in 2008 as one of the first digital-only marketing firms in Minneapolis. We’re not just here to create, strategize and solve technical problems — we're here to drive demand and ensure that our clients' businesses grow. Every person hired, every project produced and every decision made is driven by our desire to produce that growth digitally. At Spyder Trap, we live at the intersection of Code + Creativity. 

When I worked on the client side, I struggled to find the perfect digital partner for my company. After several years, I decided to stop looking and go ahead and create that perfect digital partner. That's what Spyder Trap strives to be: a perfect digital partner to agencies, companies and entrepreneurs.

OUR VALUES

We aim to remain on the leading edge of technology.  

Curiosity

Our business is constantly evolving. Which is why curiosity is paramount to successful digital marketing. We are constantly testing, tinkering, playing and wondering what will come next. It's this curiosity that leads us to discover how a new algorithm will impact search-engine results, or how various content management systems and browsers will render code. Curiosity is what keeps us — and our clients — on the leading edge of technology.

Future-Proof

Change in technology is inevitable. We know this better than traditional marketers because frankly, we face change more frequently. It's why we're a digital-only shop. We believe strongly in tactics and technologies that are future-proof. Whether that's responsive web design, high-quality content, or continually optimizing a client's search-engine presence, remaining future-proof is crucial to success in digital marketing.

Ambition

Web design, development, search engine marketing, content strategy, email marketing and social media are all challenging areas to master. That's why we value ambition. In addition to expertise and a desire to learn, the Spyder Trap team is highly entrepreneurial and ambitious. Plainly, we aim to accomplish big things as we help our clients aggressively grow their online influence.

What Others Say About Us
