Eli Global was established by a young entrepreneur almost three decades ago—with no financial backing and a lot of naysayers. He believed that he could take on and beat the market leaders in his industry. Armed with his self-drive, passion, determination and entrepreneurial spirit, he persevered after years of 100+ hour work weeks, numerous failures, worrying about month-end payroll, and even sleeping under his desk at times. He grew his business organically to be the national leader in his industry and then set out to grow even more. The secret to his success? Finding like-minded people who experienced similar hardships and successes. Over the past 25 years Eli Global has grown to partner with over 80 such entrepreneurs, welcoming their businesses to our ever-growing group of entrepreneurial, independent businesses. And this is just the beginning.
The Resource Group is one of the leading companies in the Business Services sector.

Founding partner, Dave Wilson, owned and operated his first Ford Dealership in 1977. As a new Ford dealer his main focus to drive customers to his dealership in the small town of Preston, MD was to use effective marketing. With only traditional advertising and marketing tools at his disposal, he was able to quickly turn Preston Ford into a top competing Ford dealership in his region (notably breaking the Top 100 Ford Dealership in the Nation before the internet surge). Fast forward to 2009, Dave made a commitment to drive Internet business for his Automotive Group and become a real contender. He brought in other iFrog Digital Marketing Founder, Brent Durham, to head up his Internet initiative. Over the next couple of years they were able to break sales records, grow a strong Internet presence, and master the basics of Automotive Digital advertising and marketing. After working with several other Automotive Digital Advertising and Marketing Agencies, they decided to bring everything in house. Doing so allowed them the freedom to take their digital advertising and marketing to a whole new level and resulted in the best year over year sales increases in the history of Preston Automotive Group. This led to the creation of iFrog Digital Marketing in order to help automotive dealerships beat their competition and so that both Brent and Dave could pursue their passion of advertising and marketing.
