About us

Bend Marketing

Bend Marketing is an award-winning digital marketing and web agency with deep experience serving Catholic organizations, ministries, dioceses, religious communities, nonprofits, and Catholic-owned businesses.

We believe Catholic organizations deserve digital experiences that reflect the beauty and importance of their mission while also meeting the standards people expect from the best modern brands. Our team combines an understanding of the Catholic space with deep experience in web design and development, SEO, paid advertising, analytics, branding, social media, and digital strategy.

Our Catholic experience is extensive. Bend has worked with organizations including Verso Ministries, the Jesuit Conference of Canada and the United States, The Fatima Center, St. Paul Center, Runewood Rosary Co., the Diocese of St. Augustine, Cross Catholic Outreach, Holy Cross Family Ministries, the Rosary Center, Pompeii Rising, Dominican Friars Foundation, the Archdiocese of Seattle, the Archdiocese of Portland, and the Dominican Friars of the Province of the Most Holy Name of Jesus (OP West).

We?ve also designed and developed digital experiences for Be A Jesuit, Jesuits East, the Ignatian Centre of Montreal, the Sisters of St. Francis and other Catholic organizations. Our work ranges from large, content-rich ministry websites to pilgrimage platforms, vocation websites, Catholic eCommerce, fundraising and donor experiences, and digital campaigns.

Our Catholic work isn?t limited to websites. We?ve helped Catholic dioceses and ministries build the technical foundation behind their digital advertising, including analytics, conversion tracking, Google Ads and Meta advertising infrastructure. We also help organizations improve their visibility through SEO, paid media, content strategy, social media and ongoing digital marketing.

That breadth matters. Catholic organizations often work with several disconnected vendors for their website, advertising, SEO, analytics and ongoing support. Bend can bring those pieces together under one digital strategy.

Our work has also received national recognition. Bend?s Catholic work earned the 2024 Catholic Media Award for Best New Website and a Catholic Media Association Website Award. Our broader web work has been recognized as a Webby Awards Honoree, by One Page Love, and through multiple other web design and industry awards.

We?re based in South Bend, Indiana, but work with Catholic organizations throughout the United States and beyond.

Most importantly, we understand that marketing a Catholic organization isn?t simply about generating more clicks. Whether the goal is increasing donations, promoting vocations, filling pilgrimages, selling Catholic products, reaching people with formation resources, or simply communicating a mission more clearly, the digital strategy should serve the mission.

That?s what we help Catholic organizations do.

Our core services include website design and development, WordPress development and maintenance, SEO and AI search optimization, Google and Meta advertising, analytics and conversion tracking, branding, social media management, and digital marketing strategy.
