Established in 2001 by Rustin Kretz, Scorpion originally concentrated on creating websites for legal practices before broadening its scope to deliver extensive marketing and technology solutions across various sectors.
In August 2018, the company introduced the "Get to Work" program, designed to showcase the achievements of its clients. Additionally, Scorpion has played a role in market analysis efforts, including a 2022 survey examining consumer preferences for supporting local businesses amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
April 2021 marked a significant milestone when Scorpion received a $100 million funding injection from Bregal Sagemount, accelerating its expansion initiatives.
Acknowledged for its swift growth trajectory, Scorpion appeared on the Inc. 5000 list of America's Fastest-Growing Companies consecutively from 2011 through 2020.

Scorpion broadened its national footprint in July 2017 by acquiring Driven Local, a marketing agency based in New York. In September 2021, it further enhanced its franchise marketing capabilities by purchasing Wheat Creative. Later that year, the company acquired MediaSmack, which specializes in digital marketing for the legal sector, along with CanIRank, a software firm that bolstered Scorpion's technological portfolio.
