Our take
Gorilla 76 ranks fifth in our first group of robotics marketing agencies. It knows manufacturers well, publishes what it charges to start and what most clients spend, and has a pipeline case study with numbers2,3.
Robotics is one client type among many. It names robotics systems integrators as clients but publishes no robotics case study, so robot makers will find more direct experience at TREW or Walker Sands2.
Scores by criterion
Pricing transparency (8.2): a fixed $12,000 Road Map and published typical program budgets2.
Robotics and B2B tech expertise (6.5): deep manufacturing focus with robotics systems integrators as a named client type, but no published robotics case study1,2.
Client results evidence (7.6): a named case study with $9 million in marketing-sourced pipeline and eight new customers in the first year3.
Company durability (7.0): founded in 2006 and still led by its two founders, with a fully remote team of 361.
Service breadth (7.6): strategy, content, SEO, paid lead generation, and coaching for in-house teams2,3.
Each criterion is defined in how we score marketing agencies.
Who uses Gorilla 76 and what it's for
Gorilla 76 focuses on midsized B2B manufacturers that sell complex, customized products with long, consultative sales cycles1. Its clients include engineering-heavy OEMs, custom machine builders, contract manufacturers, robotics integrators, and industry 4.0 technology companies1.
The typical buyer is a robotics integrator or machine builder whose leadership wants marketing tied to new customer growth.
Services and pricing
Every new client starts with an Industrial Marketing Road Map, which costs $12,000 regardless of company size, with no further commitment required2. Most clients running a full program spend $200,000 to $250,000 a year including agency fees and media, while some start at $50,000 to $100,0002.
Gorilla 76 does not require a 12-month contract and spends the first months on strategy1. For companies with in-house teams it can act as a coach or consultant2.
Industrial results
Davron Technologies, a Chattanooga, Tennessee maker of industrial ovens, gained eight new customers in the first year of the engagement. In year two, Gorilla 76 reports 20% revenue growth and $9 million in pipeline sourced directly through marketing3.
Company size and durability
Joe Sullivan and Jon Franko founded Gorilla 76 in 2006, and both still run it. The team is fully remote with 36 people1. It does not publish revenue. Robotics Reviewed estimates yearly revenue of roughly $6 million to $8 million, based on its headcount and published program budgets. This is an estimate, not a reported figure.

What customers say
Where it helps
I know we are in a partnership now. It’s like a branch of our business that’s helping us grow our revenue.
Where it falls short
We found no published complaints. Robotics buyers may notice the lack of robotics-specific case studies2.
Where customer reviews couldn't be found, our analysts attempted to give a voice to buyer sentiment, drawing on real information from review sites, forums and product documentation. Based on: Gorilla 76 case studies, FAQ, and pricing pages, accessed November 1, 2026.
