Tuscaloosa is a smaller agency market anchored by the University of Alabama, and local firms often specialize. The city is home to TotalCom, founded in 1983, which serves higher education, healthcare and financial clients, and to GRO, a digital agency focused on student housing, multifamily and other real estate clients that has made the Inc. 5000 list three times. Other local firms serve niche B2B sectors such as industrial equipment manufacturing. TotalCom also runs a Huntsville office, and GRO has additional offices in Nashville and Detroit, so local clients can find firms with a statewide or regional footprint.
