Our Story
Founded in 1993 by Michele Carroll, Carrollco Marketing Services is known for the strength of its people, professional networks and quality of work.
Our first project sized the US-Mexico cross-border trade as NAFTA was being signed. Our client portfolio quickly expanded, first serving market leaders in logistics and supply chain management, then advising high tech, software and manufacturing companies to select partners among those service providers. Then serving Irish, United Kingdom (UK) and other European startups eyeing the North American market – and governments around the world interested in growing exports and trade with the USA.
Our introductions have led to client contracts and investment rounds in the tens of millions, hiring, expansion, successful growth and exits. We connect good people making a difference in the world, filter to progressive decision-makers that grasp disruptive opportunity and are geared to innovate!
