About 1900 Digital Marketing

1900 Digital Marketing is about progress and growth for your small business.

I’m Michael Ruth, and I founded 1900 in 2023 as a solution to the problem of where small businesses, solopreneurs, and nonprofits in Northeastern Pennsylvania can get sensible SEO and content writing services.

I spent years working in agencies where smaller clients were either overpaying or getting stuff they didn’t really need. 1900 is a one-man agency that works directly with you–to listen to your business needs and help you plot out the most efficient and direct strategies for organically marketing yourself in the digital space.

Working with 1900 means you cut out the bloat of a larger agency. You don’t go through layers of people to reach a decision-maker.

You and I? We’re the decision-makers. We’re the team.

What Our Clients Say

Michael has been the biggest blessing to my company. Since day one, he has been working on optimizing my SEO and branding to make sure everything is concise and my ideal consumers can find me easily. This week alone I had three new clients report that they found me by searching Google (never would have happened without Michael)! Michael is super knowledgeable, approachable, and always willing to offer his professional opinion if asked. He has been very professional through the last 13 months of working together and is very thorough in his proposals and status updates as my brand continues to grow.”


Michael and I worked together to build my brand story. I had been dreading opening up and sharing my story with the world. I had to embrace vulnerability. Michael took the time to meet with me one on one. His approach and genuine curiosity in telling my story put me at ease immediately. Throughout the creative process Michael was diligent and always had me at the forefront. He ensured my story was told in my voice and resonated with my audience. He was able to listen, absorb, and connect with my purpose, then recreate content that helped establish my WHY. I could not have been happier with the outcome. He went above and beyond to ensure I had meaningful content that aligned with me to share with my audience. I’d highly recommend working with Michael.


Working with Michael has been an absolute game-changer for my business. Not only does he excel in digital marketing and website design, but his keen understanding of my company’s needs—especially from a PR perspective—sets him apart. He consistently goes above and beyond, offering thoughtful office support and tackling tasks that streamline operations seamlessly. His attention to detail, creative solutions, and dedication to delivering results have helped elevate our brand and online presence in ways I couldn’t have imagined. I’m truly impressed by his ability to stay in tune with our vision and goals while implementing strategies that make a real difference. I wholeheartedly recommend Michael if you’re looking for a skilled, adaptable, and reliable professional to take your business to the next level. Bonus points for great hair!


Where do I begin? Michael has not only designed and captured our business’s image but has become a trusted member of our team.

Michael, you’re beyond great at what you do, you’re a natural! I highly recommend his services and the quality of work he completes! There are not enough words to express my gratitude!❤️
