About Matchbox Marketing Group
At Matchbox Marketing Group, we blend big-agency strategy with small-agency service. Founded by Jon Blalock—a seasoned digital strategist with over 17 years of experience—Matchbox was created to help businesses grow through smart, efficient, and honest marketing.
Who We Are
Jon Blalock has led digital campaigns for national brands like Dunkin’, Marriott International, Sam’s Club, and Bosch—while also helping local businesses right here in Savannah make a big impact. After nearly two decades working with top agencies like Publicis Groupe, Zimmerman, and Hill Holliday, Jon left the corporate world to build something more personal: a boutique agency focused on relationships, transparency, and results that actually matter.
Jon now lives on Isle of Hope with his wife, two kids, and two dogs. He works directly with every client and partners with a network of trusted freelancers and specialists to deliver top-tier work—without the overhead or fluff of traditional agencies.
The Spark Behind the Name
The name Matchbox Marketing comes from a childhood hobby. As a kid, Jon collected matchboxes from restaurants and hotels during family trips. Each one told a story, captured a moment, and symbolized connection. Today, that spirit lives on in the work we do—helping businesses spark meaningful connections and make a lasting impression.
