About Momentum Digital
A boutique Portland digital marketing agency founded on craft, clarity, and accountability.
Built in Portland. Driven by results.
Momentum Digital was founded in 2019 by Terryl Wilder after more than a decade running performance marketing teams for both venture-backed startups and traditional small businesses. The pattern was always the same: agencies overpromising, under-explaining, and quietly disappearing the moment a contract was signed.
We started Momentum to do the opposite. A small senior team. Direct access to the strategists doing the work. Reporting you can actually understand. And an honest conversation when something isn't working.
Today we partner with growing businesses across Oregon and the United States — from local service providers and dental practices to e-commerce brands and B2B SaaS companies. The common thread is clients who care about the long game.
Meet the founder
Terryl Wilder
Founder & CEO
Terryl spent 11 years inside agencies and in-house marketing teams before founding Momentum. He has personally managed more than $14M in paid media spend across Google Ads, Microsoft Advertising, and Meta — and built SEO programs that took companies from page 4 to category leaders.
He believes the best marketing is honest, math-driven, and patient. When he's not auditing accounts or writing campaign briefs, you'll find him hiking the Columbia River Gorge or roasting coffee at home in Southeast Portland.
What we believe
Partnership over vendorship
You hired marketers, not order-takers. We push back, share opinions, and show our work.
Math over hype
Every recommendation traces back to unit economics, ROAS, or a measurable conversion goal.
Test, don't guess
We treat every campaign as a hypothesis. The data tells us what to scale and what to kill.
Radical transparency
You see the dashboards, the spend, the test results — good or bad — every single month.
Local roots, national reach
Headquartered in Portland with clients from coast to coast.
Long-term thinking
The shortcut is rarely the fastest path. We build durable assets, not rented attention.
