Big Opposable Thumb

08/28/2026

Well, this is a pretty damn cool way to wrap up the week.

Big Opposable Thumb has been named a Top 5 Marketing Agency in El Paso County for 2026 by BusinessRate.

The recognition is based on Google reviews, which makes it particularly meaningful to us. It comes from the experiences and feedback of the people and businesses we actually work with.

We’ve always believed good marketing starts with good work: thoughtful strategy, strong creative, honest advice, and giving a damn about whether what we create actually works.
Apparently, some of our clients noticed.

A sincere thank you to everyone who has trusted Big Opposable Thumb with their brands, websites, campaigns, questionable ideas that became good ideas, and good ideas that became even better ones.

We appreciate you. Thumbs up!
