About Us

Marketing That Makes Sense for You, Your Budget, and Your Business

Who We Are

The Heart Behind the Name

Hi, I’m Christine Gorham, founder of Fourth Street Marketing. I started this agency for one simple reason: to help hardworking local businesses and nonprofits stop wasting money on marketing that doesn’t work.

After more than 25 years in media and advertising working with everyone from hometown HVAC companies and local law firms to tourism and non-profit organizations, I’ve seen it all: big promises, bloated budgets, and campaigns that look good on paper but fall flat in real life.

I wanted to do things differently.

Fourth Street is more than just a name—it’s home. It’s the street where I live today, raising my family and building the kind of business I wish existed when I first started. A business grounded in community, built on trust, and focused on real results for real people.

That’s the spirit I bring to every project: personal, practical, and built to work for the kinds of businesses that make our towns great.

What Makes Us Different

We’re not a traditional ad agency.
We’re your go-to marketing partner—the kind you can text with a question, brainstorm with over coffee, or trust to turn your goals into a plan that actually works.

Here’s what you’ll get with us:

Clarity: No confusing jargon. Just smart, straightforward advice.
Experience: 25+ years of hands-on results in both print and digital media.
Local Know-How: We specialize in helping small-town businesses and nonprofits grow.
Custom Strategy: No cookie-cutter packages—everything we do is tailored to your goals.

Who We Serve

Fourth Street Marketing was built for:
*Independent business owners juggling a million things

You don’t need a six-figure budget.
You need a smart strategy and someone who gets what you’re up against.
