We specialize in branding, logo design, web design, content and video creation, search engine optimization (SEO), pay-per-click marketing (PPC), social media marketing, and franchise marketing.

Kimberly Judd-Pennie, Founder and CEO of Rank It Up Marketing, has been a trailblazer in the SEO and internet marketing industry since 1994. Before 2015, she founded and led one of the earliest and most successful internet marketing firms, helping pioneer a now multi-billion-dollar industry. For over 21 years, her leadership empowered hundreds of companies to increase revenue and scale successfully. She sold that company in 2014 but remained actively engaged in digital strategy and innovation.
Her work has earned prestigious recognition, including being a four-time finalist and eventual winner of the Better Business Bureau Torch Award for Ethics—an honor reserved for businesses that demonstrate the highest standards of integrity and trust. She was later invited to serve as a judge for the same award. Kimberly was also a finalist for the Spirit of Enterprise Award from Arizona State University’s W.P. Carey School of Business.
As a thought leader in the field, Kimberly authored a weekly “Cyber Business” column for The Desert Sun (Gannett), and has been interviewed by The New York Times, and featured in BIZ AZ Magazine, and other industry media and conferences. Her results-driven marketing approach has helped clients—particularly in the franchise space—grow from startups into multi-million-dollar brands, many of which have gone on to be featured in outlets like The Wall Street Journal and New York Times due to their top-tier online visibility.
In 2020, Kimberly joined forces with her son, Brent Judd, to launch Rank It Up Marketing. As Co-founder and COO, Brent brings over a decade of experience in digital marketing and lead generation. A top graduate from ASU’s W.P. Carey School of Business with a degree in Business Finance, Brent has a deep understanding of digital advertising strategy and social media performance marketing. His passion lies in helping businesses leverage online platforms to generate measurable growth and ROI.
At Rank It Up Marketing, we take pride in delivering measurable results and exceeding expectations. Our slogan—“Exceeding Expectations Through Experience”—originated from a client testimonial and represents our core commitment to every brand we serve.
Our team consists of highly experienced digital marketers, designers, SEO specialists, and media strategists.—who bring decades of combined expertise to every project. We focus on delivering high-impact campaigns with integrity, transparency, and excellence.
We look forward to helping your business grow.
