This post is written for the CMO who understands the problem and wants to know what solving it actually requires — in sequence, with the failure points named. Why multi-site attribution is an engineering problem, not an analytics problem Attribution at a single healthcare location is complicated but manageable. You are connecting a finite set of healthcare marketing activities to a finite patient population. At 50 or 100 locations, the complexity multiplies in ways that cannot be solved by adding more analysts or better spreadsheets. Different markets run different media mixes. Patients interact with advertising in one location’s trade area and book at another. Online-to-offline tracking, connecting a digital ad impression to a completed appointment in a practice management system, requires technology infrastructure that most healthcare software ecosystems are not designed to support natively. This is a genuine build challenge. The five layers required for full-funnel attribution at multi-site scale are all available as technology. Few platforms have all five integrated consistently across every location because each integration requires ongoing maintenance, and the gaps tend to accumulate quietly until someone tries to run a cross-portfolio attribution report and finds the data is incomplete. Understanding the stack is the prerequisite to building it deliberately rather than discovering the gaps after the fact. The five-layer attribution stack, and where most platforms are missing layers Full-funnel healthcare marketing attribution for a multi-location platform requires five layers working together. The first is media tracking: connecting campaign impressions and clicks to identifiable user sessions, which every major ad platform provides but which requires consistent UTM discipline across every campaign and channel. The second is landing page conversion tracking: connecting user sessions to appointment inquiries through form submissions and online booking events. Most platforms have this layer, but inconsistently. Some locations have optimized landing pages, others route traffic to the homepage and lose the conversion signal entirely. The third layer is call tracking, and it is the one most commonly missing in multi-site healthcare.... - Published: 2026-06-30 - Modified: 2026-06-30 - URL: https://www.agencycreative.com/blog/portfolio-level-cac-management-how-to-best-allocate-marketing-capital/ At 100, 200, or 500+ locations, patient acquisition cost management is not a campaign optimization problem. It is a capital allocation decision — and the CMOs who treat it that way produce materially different outcomes than those who don’t. Marketing spend at scale is capital deployment Every dollar of media spend in a large multi-site portfolio is capital deployed with an expected return. When that capital is allocated based on geography, location count, or historical precedent rather than demonstrated return on investment, the inevitable result is a portfolio where some markets produce exceptional CAC (Customer Acquisition Cost) efficiency while others absorb capital at low or negative returns. Most platforms discover this pattern not through analysis but through accumulation — years of roughly equal budget distribution that made sense at 10 locations but is producing wildly unequal returns at 100. The markets that are underperforming are not always obvious from the campaign dashboard because the spend is running and impressions are being delivered. The problem is only visible when location-level CAC is calculated and mapped against production outcomes. That analysis is where portfolio-level capital management starts. What a portfolio-level CAC dashboard actually shows you A portfolio-level CAC management dashboard displays patient acquisition cost by location, by market cluster, and by channel — with trend lines over time and benchmarks across the portfolio. Building it requires integrating media spend data, location-level attribution, and production revenue into a single view. The integration work is real. So is what the dashboard reveals when it’s finally in place. The first finding is almost always a distribution that surprises platform leadership: the top-quartile locations are acquiring patients at two to three times the efficiency of the bottom quartile, often in markets that look demographically similar on the surface. The second finding is usually a channel that is consuming a disproportionate share of the portfolio budget while delivering a disproportionately small share of efficient acquisitions — a pattern invisible in location-level reporting because each location’s spend on that channel looks reasonable in isolation.

I was likely one of those people, reading that article on my own smartphone. The fact is that these devices we carry around have fundamentally changed the customer journey. Customers now engage with one another and consume information across many sales channels: Social Mobile apps Websites SMS Voice In person Are your customers having the same experience with your brand in all of those places? Marketers in the new omni-channel environment need to ensure that they provide a seamless experience for the consumer across multiple channels. The technology challenge will be to network these channels without causing consumer disruption. I’ll leave the technology recommendations to those eminently more qualified than me. Instead, let me focus on how we best reach and influence consumers as they zigzag on their journey to purchase. The first step is plotting the course. Publishing a map visually shows the multiple ways consumers – whether prospects or customers – interact with your brand. It’s like the way the Waze app pins gas stations: your internal team can grasp these interactions and touch points along the route. Ask these questions to start plotting the customer journey: Where do they conduct research? - Get out there and ask them. Some answers may surprise you. I bet social media channels now have a more considerable influence. What long-held beliefs do you have about your customer? - Don’t make assumptions based on an internal perspective. The point is to ask questions to either validate, modify, or disprove your internal assumptions so that you can discover new paths. Where do customer journeys splinter? - Not all consumers behave the same. You’ll get the majority taking journey path A, but some will choose B, others C.... - Published: 2026-06-25 - Modified: 2026-06-25 - URL: https://www.agencycreative.com/blog/cost-per-lead-vs-cost-per-profitable-patient-why-platforms-are-optimizing-for-the-wrong-metric/ Consider a campaign that generates 500 leads at $50 each, $25,000 in total media spend. On a Cost-per-Lead dashboard, that it looks like efficient acquisition. Now look at what those leads actually produced: 60 percent never scheduled an appointment. The $50 lead that actually costs $1,000 Consider a campaign that generates 500 leads at $50 each, $25,000 in total media spend. On a Cost-per-Lead dashboard, that it looks like efficient acquisition. Now look at what those leads actually produced: 60 percent never scheduled an appointment. Of those who did schedule, 20 percent were no-shows. Of the roughly 100 patients who came in, the majority were routine low-acuity visits with limited production value and low likelihood of accepting higher-margin care. Work through the numbers: of 500 leads, perhaps 25 to 30 became patients who generated meaningful, recurring production revenue. The Cost per Lead was $50. The Cost per Profitable Patient, defined as a patient who completes care, contributes above-average production, and demonstrates reappointment behavior, was $800 to $1,000. That gap is not a rounding error. It is the difference between a campaign that looks like a marketing success and one that recovers its own cost in EBITDA contribution. Cost-per-Lead optimization hides that gap. Cost per Profitable Patient makes it visible. Not all patients move the EBITDA needle the same way A new patient who comes in for a routine visit, returns periodically, and occasionally accepts a standard service is valuable over time, but their annual contribution to location EBITDA is typically modest. A new patient who pursues a complex care pathway, accepts a comprehensive treatment plan, and refers family members into the practice is a different financial event. In most multi-site healthcare specialties, the EBITDA contribution of a high-value patient over a 12-month period runs three to five times that of a routine-visit patient, sometimes more in procedure-heavy or elective-care categories. The distinction matters for channel evaluation because a channel that produces 10 routine patients and a channel that produces 10 high-value patients at the same Cost per Lead are... - Published: 2026-06-23 - Modified: 2026-06-24 - URL: https://www.agencycreative.com/blog/the-hidden-healthcare-media-waste-inside-100-plus-location-healthcare-platforms/ At a single location, healthcare media inefficiency is a tactical annoyance. A few thousand dollars of wasted spend per month is frustrating but manageable. At 100 locations, that same percentage of waste is an EBITDA event. At scale, healthcare media inefficiency stops being a marketing problem At a single location, healthcare media inefficiency is a tactical annoyance. A few thousand dollars of wasted spend per month is frustrating but manageable. At 100 locations, that same percentage of waste is an EBITDA event. A 20 percent healthcare media waste rate across a $10 million annual marketing budget is $2 million in annual spend producing no measurable patient acquisition. At typical multi-site healthcare operating margins, eliminating that waste has the same financial impact as opening several new locations, without the capital investment, the ramp risk, or the operational complexity. That reframe is what moves the media waste conversation from a marketing efficiency discussion to a board-level capital allocation discussion. Where the waste concentrates - and why the categories are not equal Media waste in large multi-site platforms concentrates in three primary places, and they are not equally costly or equally visible. Attribution waste is the foundational problem: without location-level tracking connecting media spend to actual patient production, the other categories of waste are effectively invisible. You cannot identify geographic overlap or diagnose channel inefficiency without the measurement infrastructure to see what each dollar is and isn’t producing. Attribution waste doesn’t look like waste on a media report. It looks like normal spend. Geographic overlap waste is the most readily quantifiable once attribution exists. When adjacent locations target overlapping trade areas, they bid against each other in programmatic and paid search auctions, driving up cost per click for both, paying multiple times to reach the same household, and splitting the local search market between two campaigns that would perform better coordinated. Channel waste is the hardest to see: it occurs when the media mix that worked at 10 locations is maintained at 100 without revisiting whether each channel still... - Published: 2026-06-18 - Modified: 2026-06-23 - URL: https://www.agencycreative.com/blog/why-inconsistent-de-novo-performance-is-a-marketing-infrastructure-problem/ Two comparable locations. Comparable markets, comparable clinical teams, comparable competitive environments. One reaches full EBITDA contribution in 10 months. The other is still below the model at 18. When operating partners ask why, the answer is rarely market conditions. The variance that operating partners notice first Two comparable locations. Comparable markets, comparable clinical teams, comparable competitive environments. One reaches full EBITDA contribution in 10 months. The other is still below the model at 18. When operating partners ask why, the answer is rarely market conditions. It is almost always marketing infrastructure - specifically, whether a systematic, pre-defined launch program existed to build the patient acquisition pipeline before opening day. The frustrating thing about this variance is that it is largely preventable. Market conditions influence De Novo performance, but they explain far less variance than most platform leadership teams assume. The more important variable - the one within your control - is whether your marketing infrastructure gives every new location the same systematic launch advantage. When it does, performance converges. When it doesn’t, variance widens and gets misattributed to the market. The Healthcare marketing Infrastructure gaps that actually drive the variance The gaps with the highest impact on ramp performance are also the ones most commonly skipped under operational pressure - and they compound each other. The most consequential gap is the absence of pre-opening marketing activity entirely - locations that launch with no patient acquisition pipeline, no pre-registered appointments, and no established digital presence. These locations spend their entire months-four-through-nine window building from zero while their ramp model assumed they’d be converting from a running start. The second most consequential gap is attribution infrastructure: without call tracking, campaign-level conversion data, and CRM integration in place before the first dollar is spent, you cannot tell what is working during the critical early months and cannot optimize in real time. A slow ramp without attribution data is a slow ramp with no clear path to acceleration. The gaps that compound the first two are digital infrastructure shortfalls - a Google Business... - Published: 2026-06-16 - Modified: 2026-06-17 - URL: https://www.agencycreative.com/blog/the-90-day-pre-opening-marketing-playbook-for-de-novo-healthcare-locations/ Patients who discovered your new healthcare location 60 days before opening and scheduled a first appointment are in the chair on opening week. Patients who discover you on opening day will schedule - if you’re fortunate - sometime in the next two to four weeks. That gap in lead time is the gap in ramp velocity. Why the most important marketing decisions happen before anyone can see the sign Patients who discovered your new healthcare location 60 days before opening and scheduled a first appointment are in the chair on opening week. Patients who discover you on opening day will schedule - if you’re fortunate - sometime in the next two to four weeks. That gap in lead time is the gap in ramp velocity. Opening-day marketing generates opening-day results. Pre-opening marketing generates opening-day patients. The 90-day window before a location opens is where ramp velocity is actually built - not in the clinical quality of the practice, not in the operational readiness of the team, but in the awareness and pipeline that exists before the first patient walks through the door. Every phase below is organized around that principle. Pre-opening marketing weeks 1-4 (90 days out): Build the infrastructure before you generate demand The first four weeks are not about driving awareness - they are about ensuring that when awareness arrives, there is something credible and discoverable to capture it. The priority in this phase is digital infrastructure: claiming and fully optimizing the Google Business Profile with accurate information, photos, and a compelling description; building a location-specific web page with targeted keywords, optimized metadata, and locally relevant content; and establishing social media channels with a consistent brand presence. This phase matters more than it looks. A Google Business Profile established 90 days before opening has 90 days to build local search authority before the first appointment is scheduled. One claimed on opening day starts at zero in the ranking algorithm while competitors - who have been established for years - are already ranking for every relevant local search. The infrastructure phase is not exciting. Missing it is expensive.

Once leadership determines whether the organization should operate as a House of Brands, Branded House, or Endorser Brand, the next—and often more difficult—question emerges: how should the actual brand transition happen? Beyond brand architecture: Choosing the right strategy during mergers & acquisitions Choosing the right brand architecture model is only half the equation. Once leadership determines whether the organization should operate as a House of Brands, Branded House, or Endorser Brand, the next—and often more difficult—question emerges: how should the actual brand transition happen? Should one company’s brand survive while the other sunsets? Should the organizations combine names and identities? Should leadership create something entirely new? These decisions are about more than aesthetics. They impact employee morale, customer confidence, investor perception, operational integration, and future scalability. And in many merger and acquisition scenarios, the brand strategy itself becomes just as important as the underlying brand architecture model. Here are some of the most common branding strategies organizations consider during mergers, acquisitions, and consolidation initiatives. Brand strategy #1: The legacy brand approach In this brand strategy, one company’s brand becomes the surviving identity for the newly combined organization. For example: Company A acquires Company B The Company A name, identity, and positioning remain intact Company B transitions into the parent brand over time This approach works best when: One brand has significantly stronger market equity One organization is materially larger than the other Customers already recognize one company as the market leader Leadership wants simplicity and speed This is one of the most common approaches in tuck-in acquisition environments and private equity roll-up strategies. The advantages: Clear market direction Simplified operations Easier long-term scalability Faster integration The risks: Customers of the acquired company may feel disconnected Employees may perceive the transition as a takeover Valuable legacy equity could be lost Success depends heavily on communication strategy and thoughtful integration planning. Brand strategy #2: Best of both worlds This brand strategy combines elements of both organizations into a shared identity. That may include:... - Published: 2026-06-14 - Modified: 2026-06-16 - URL: https://www.agencycreative.com/blog/brand-architecture-101-choosing-the-right-brand-model/ Growth creates opportunity.

A private equity platform rolls up multiple brands under one umbrella. Suddenly, leadership teams are faced with an important strategic question: What should the brand structure look like moving forward? Brand architecture 101: Choosing the right brand model during growth & acquisition Growth creates opportunity. But it also creates complexity. A company acquires several regional competitors. Two established organizations merge into a larger entity. A private equity platform rolls up multiple brands under one umbrella. Suddenly, leadership teams are faced with an important strategic question: What should the brand structure look like moving forward? Should acquired companies retain their existing identities? Should everything consolidate under a single master brand? Should there be a hybrid structure that balances independence with cohesion? These decisions fall under what’s known as brand architecture - the strategic framework that defines how brands within an organization relate to one another. And while these conversations often start with logos and naming discussions, they’re ultimately business strategy decisions. Brand architecture impacts customer trust, operational scalability, acquisition integration, internal culture, and long-term enterprise value. The right model creates clarity and momentum. The wrong one creates fragmentation and confusion. Here are the primary brand architecture models organizations should consider when navigating growth, mergers, acquisitions, or rebranding initiatives. Brand architecture model #1: House of brands In a House of Brands model, individual brands operate independently under a parent company. Think of Procter & Gamble - a corporation that owns Tide, Pampers, Gillette, and Crest, all with distinct identities and market positions. This model works best when: Individual companies have strong local or category equity Customer loyalty is tied directly to legacy brands
 Businesses serve different audiences
 Brand independence creates strategic value This approach is especially common in roll-up strategies involving smaller acquired companies. Maintaining trusted local identities can minimize customer disruption and preserve goodwill during integration. However, a House of Brands structure can become increasingly difficult to manage as organizations scale.

That timeline is not a soft assumption. It is a hard input in the IRR calculation. How the investment model prices a ramp timeline When a multi-site platform underwrites a new location, the investment model includes a ramp timeline - the projected months from opening to maturity-level EBITDA contribution. That timeline is not a soft assumption. It is a hard input in the IRR calculation. The model priced in a ramp timeline, and every month the actual ramp runs slower than modeled is a direct, calculable hit to portfolio IRR. Not because revenue is declining. Because it is not growing fast enough to satisfy the underwriting assumption. Most underwriting models acknowledge this risk in the abstract. Fewer build the pre-opening marketing investment required to mitigate it into the launch budget. That gap between modeling the ramp risk and funding the solution is where most De Novo underperformance originates. Running the numbers: what six months of ramp delay actually costs The calculation is straightforward. Consider a new location modeled to reach full EBITDA contribution of $200,000 annually by month 12, but that actually reaches it by month 18. The six-month gap represents $100,000 in below-model EBITDA contribution on that single location - capital that was priced into the IRR at full return but delivered at partial return for half a year. Scale that across a platform opening 10 new locations per year, all running six months behind their ramp models: $1 million in annual EBITDA shortfall, recurring every year as new locations open and underperform. At a 10x EBITDA multiple - conservative for PE-backed healthcare - that recurring shortfall represents $10 million in suppressed enterprise value. Why the investigation usually looks in the wrong place When a new location underperforms its ramp model, the investigation almost always starts with operations: staffing levels, scheduling efficiency, front-desk conversion rates, clinical capacity utilization. These are legitimate variables and worth examining.... - Published: 2026-06-09 - Modified: 2026-07-02 - URL: https://www.agencycreative.com/blog/how-to-compress-an-18-month-de-novo-ramp-to-12-months/ The typical De Novo location in a multi-site platform – whether a dental practice, an ophthalmology group, or a behavioral health clinic – follows a recognizable ramp pattern. The anatomy of a De Novo ramp in multi-site healthcare The typical De Novo location in a multi-site platform - whether a dental practice, an ophthalmology group, or a behavioral health clinic - follows a recognizable ramp pattern. Revenue is low in months one through three as the practice builds patient relationships and reputation from zero. Months four through nine are the critical window: growth accelerates as new patient volume builds and reappointment rates establish, but EBITDA contribution remains below maturity-level targets. Months 10 through 18 typically bring the location into the range of the investment thesis model. This 18-month arc is so common in multi-site platforms that it has become the default assumption in new location underwriting. The six-month problem The performance gap that most significantly impacts portfolio IRR is not the slow start in months one through three - that is expected. It is the underperformance in months four through nine that represents the largest concentration of trapped capital. This is the window in which most new locations are growing, but not as fast as they should. The most common cause is a patient acquisition pipeline that was not seeded before opening day, leaving new locations in reactive mode during the months when proactive demand generation would have the highest impact. Why marketing that starts on opening day starts too late By the time a new location opens, you have already missed the most valuable marketing window. The 90 days before opening are when awareness campaigns have the highest impact-to-cost ratio - because there is no competition from existing providers at that address, and local search audiences have not yet been saturated. A potential patient who sees awareness advertising for a new healthcare location 60 days before it opens is primed to schedule an appointment on or shortly... - Published: 2026-06-08 - Modified: 2026-06-26 - URL: https://www.agencycreative.com/blog/location-level-performance-benchmarking-how-to-find-your-same-site-underperformers/ In a 100-location healthcare platform, a same-site growth number of 6 percent sounds healthy. But that number might be concealing 20 locations growing at 15 percent and 20 locations that are flat or declining - with the remaining 60 somewhere in the middle. The average is real. The average is also misleading. The number your portfolio average is hiding In a 100-location healthcare platform, a same-site growth number of 6 percent sounds healthy. But that number might be masking 20 locations growing at 15 percent and 20 locations flat or declining, with the remaining 60 somewhere in the middle. The average is real. The average is also misleading. When operating partners and sponsors evaluate same-site performance, they are not just looking at the portfolio number. They are looking for evidence that you understand why the variance exists and have a plan to close the gap at the underperforming locations. A CMO who can only report the average is reporting on the symptom. The ones who survive scrutiny can explain the distribution. Four variables that drive same-site variance - and the one most often misread Not all location performance variation has the same cause, and treating it as if it does leads to generic solutions that don’t work. The variables that explain same-site underperformance generally fall into local market conditions, patient mix, service mix, and marketing execution, and most platforms stop at local market conditions because it’s the easiest explanation to accept. Of the four, local market characteristics are the ones CMOs most often cite to explain underperformance, even when marketing execution is actually the issue. “It’s a tough market” is a plausible explanation for one location. When it’s the explanation for six locations in six different geographies, it’s worth examining whether the market is the variable or the marketing is. Local market factors are largely fixed. Marketing execution quality is the most addressable lever in the set, making it the most important to isolate correctly.

This number captures not just how busy a location is, but how financially productive that busyness is. Revenue per provider hour: what utilization reports don’t tell you The most revealing same-site financial metric is not revenue per location - it is revenue per provider hour. This number captures not just how busy a location is, but how financially productive that busyness is. Two locations can have identical provider utilization rates and very different EBITDA contributions if their service mix differs. A location where 70 percent of production comes from routine, lower-margin visits looks fundamentally different on a margin basis than one where a meaningful share of production comes from higher-margin elective, complex, or specialty services. The schedule is the same. Utilization is the same. The financial outcome is not. The difference is what's filling the chair and marketing is what determines that. What a routine-heavy production mix actually costs Routine visits are the foundation of any healthcare practice. They drive retention, build relationships, and create the patient base from which higher-value care grows. The problem is not routine care - it is a production mix so dominated by standard visits that higher-margin complex and elective work never reaches its potential volume. When that imbalance exists, the EBITDA math suffers in a way that doesn’t show up clearly in appointment volume or utilization reports. A location can look busy and be underperforming financially. The diagnostic question is not “are we full? ” It’s “what are we full of? ” High-margin services require a different kind of marketing Elective procedures, complex care pathways, specialty consultations, and premium service tiers represent the highest-margin production available to most multi-site platforms. They’re also the services most sensitive to marketing - because they require more from the patient before they say yes. A patient pursuing a routine annual visit needs a reminder and a convenient appointment. A patient considering a significant elective procedure... - Published: 2026-05-12 - Modified: 2026-06-26 - URL: https://www.agencycreative.com/blog/is-your-multi-site-healthcare-platform-leaving-ebitda-on-the-table/ Most multi-site platforms have greater revenue potential in their existing patient database than in their new patient pipeline. This post makes the financial case for patient reactivation as an EBITDA lever — with specific numbers The Math Most Healthcare Platforms Haven’t Done In a typical multi-site healthcare platform, between 20 and 35 percent of the patient database is lapsed, meaning those patients have not had an appointment in the past 12 months. At 50 locations, with an average of 1,500 active patients per location, that represents 15,000 to 26,000 lapsed patient relationships sitting idle in the system. Run the number one step further. If even 10 percent of those lapsed patients reactivate at an average appointment value of $300, that’s $450,000 to $780,000 in incremental revenue, from outreach to people who already know the practice, at a cost that runs a fraction of new patient acquisition. At 100 locations, double it. The aggregate revenue potential sitting dormant in a mid-size portfolio’s database is not an abstraction. It’s a specific number, and most platforms have never calculated it. The Cheapest Revenue You’re Not Chasing New patient acquisition requires generating awareness, consideration, and conversion from someone with no existing relationship with the practice. That process typically runs $200 to $600 per acquired patient across digital channels, depending on market and competition. Reactivating a lapsed patient costs a fraction of that, often under $40 per reactivated appointment in well-segmented programs, because the hardest part of acquisition is already done. The relationship exists. The trust baseline is established. The clinical history is in the system. The only barrier is re-engagement, and that’s a solvable marketing problem. The ROI comparison between new patient acquisition and reactivation is rarely close once the numbers are aligned. Why Segmentation is the Difference Between a Campaign and a System The most common mistake in reactivation is treating the lapsed-patient database as a single audience. Sending a generic “we miss you” message to every patient who hasn’t been in for a year produces response rates... - Published: 2026-04-17 - Modified: 2026-06-26 - URL: https://www.agencycreative.com/blog/why-flat-same-site-revenue-is-a-marketing-problem/ When mature locations plateau, the reflex is operational. This post reframes the diagnosis — and shows that the fastest path to same-site healthcare EBITDA growth runs through healthcare marketing strategy, not staffing or scheduling. Why do Multi-Site Healthcare Locations Stall in Revenue? At a predictable point in a mature healthcare location’s lifecycle, revenue growth flattens. New patient volume stabilizes. Provider utilization reaches a level that feels productive but not exceptional. Same-site production per day stops climbing. When this happens, the typical response is operational: extend hours, add a provider, adjust the front-desk script, change the scheduling system. These interventions aren’t wrong, but they address the symptoms without identifying the actual constraint. In most plateau situations, the constraint is not capacity; it is demand, and demand is a marketing problem. Why Adding Capacity to a Flat Location Usually Makes Things Worse Adding operational capacity to a location with flat revenue doesn’t create demand, it creates overhead. More providers, more rooms, and extended hours are only valuable if there’s volume to fill them. In most plateau situations, the capacity already exists. What’s missing is the marketing strategy to drive higher-margin patients into it. The comparison is worth making directly: scheduling optimization, when it works, tends to improve efficiency by a few percentage points. Marketing strategy that shifts the patient mix and reactivates the existing database, the kind of work we’ve done across behavioral health, ophthalmology, and dental platforms, has produced same-site EBITDA improvements in the 15-25 percent range. Those are not marketing metrics. They’re margin outcomes. The Cheapest Revenue in Your Portfolio Is Already in Your Database The revenue opportunity hiding in most mature healthcare locations falls into three places, and the most underutilized of the three is also the most accessible: lapsed patients. A lapsed patient, someone who hasn’t had an appointment in 12 months or more, already knows the practice, has already cleared the trust barrier, and has already been acquired once. Reactivation campaigns targeting this group typically convert at two to three times... - Published: 2026-04-16 - Modified: 2026-05-01 - URL: https://www.agencycreative.com/blog/why-strategic-planning-works-best-when-theres-chemistry/ After 25 years of building brands here in Dallas, we’ve learned something that doesn’t show up in most strategic plans: execution isn’t usually the problem, alignment is. After 25 years of building brands here in Dallas, we’ve learned something that doesn’t show up in most strategic plans: execution isn’t usually the problem, alignment is. For today’s CMOs, the pressure is quite different than it used to be. You’re not just launching campaigns; you’re being asked to justify spend, improve efficiency, and tie marketing directly to business outcomes. And in many cases, especially in private equity-backed or performance-driven organizations, those outcomes are very real: same-site growth, customer acquisition cost, and enterprise value. That reality fundamentally changes how strategy needs to work. Because strategy without real understanding isn’t strategy, it’s just assumption. That’s exactly why we built our Chemistry process: to get past surface-level planning and uncover what’s actually driving decisions, both internally and in the market. The Shift: From Planning to Understanding A lot of strategic plans look great when they’re presented. They’re polished, thoughtful, and well-organized. And then they sit, or worse, they get executed without ever being fully understood. We see this not infrequently: plans built in isolation, disconnected from how customers actually behave or how internal teams really operate. By the time they’re rolled out, they’re already out of sync with reality. So we approach it differently. Before we talk about positioning or messaging, we spend time inside the business, talking to leadership, digging into customer behavior, pressure-testing assumptions, and looking closely at the competitive landscape. The goal isn’t to create a plan for its own sake; it’s to uncover what’s actually true. From there, strategy becomes more grounded, more usable, and ultimately more effective. Clarity Is What Actually Drives Performance At its core, strategic planning should make decisions easier. When teams are aligned around what matters, and just as importantly, what doesn’t, everything starts to move faster. Through our Chemistry process, we help leadership... - Published: 2026-04-10 - Modified: 2026-06-01 - URL: https://www.agencycreative.com/blog/how-marketing-impacts-your-healthcare-platforms-value-multiple/ When a buyer performs due diligence on a multi-site healthcare platform, they look at marketing through a specific and fairly unforgiving lens: is this a repeatable, scalable system, or is it dependent on individual talent and one-off campaigns? What Buyers Actually Look for During Due Diligence When a buyer performs due diligence on a multi-site healthcare platform, they look at healthcare marketing through a specific and fairly unforgiving lens: is this a repeatable, scalable system, or is it dependent on individual talent and one-off campaigns? The answer to that question directly impacts how the business is priced. Platforms with documented attribution infrastructure, declining CAC trends, and predictable same-site revenue contribution from marketing are treated as having a proven organic growth engine and priced accordingly. Platforms where marketing effectiveness can’t be demonstrated are treated as unproven growth drivers. That uncertainty suppresses the multiple. Buyers don’t give credit for growth they can’t verify and can’t underwrite. Why Organic Growth Commands a Higher Multiple Than Acquisition Growth Not all growth is priced equally in multi-site healthcare transactions. Organic growth, same-site revenue increases driven by marketing, patient reactivation, and service mix improvement, commands a higher multiple than inorganic growth driven by acquisitions. The reason is straightforward: organic growth is scalable without a proportional increase in capital deployment. Acquisition-driven growth requires continued spending to sustain. When your marketing infrastructure demonstrably drives organic growth, you’re building something a buyer can underwrite and a lender can model. That’s a materially different asset than a revenue line that requires another acquisition to grow. What an Exit-Ready Healthcare Marketing Model Actually Looks Like The phrase “exit-ready marketing” gets used loosely. What it means in practice is that the marketing function has three qualities a buyer can verify in the data room: the strategy and methodology are documented and accessible, not living in a departing CMO’s head; performance is attributable at the location level, so marketing’s contribution to financial outcomes can be shown specifically rather than claimed generally; and results are consistent across markets, demonstrating that the model... - Published: 2026-04-08 - Modified: 2026-06-26 - URL: https://www.agencycreative.com/blog/4-financial-metrics-every-multi-site-cmo-should-report/ Most CMOs report on marketing metrics. The ones who thrive in PE environments report on financial metrics. This blog gives you a practical framework for transforming a healthcare marketing dashboard into a board-ready financial document. Why Healthcare Marketing Dashboards Undermine CMO Credibility The standard healthcare marketing dashboard, clicks, impressions, leads, and cost per lead, is designed for marketing teams. It is not designed for boardrooms that want to see financial metrics. When a CMO presents these marketing metrics to an operating partner or sponsor, the implicit message is that healthcare marketing is a creative and tactical function, not a financial one. That framing costs CMOs budget, influence, and ultimately their position. The solution is not better creative metrics; it is entirely different financial metrics. This is true whether you run a behavioral health network, an ophthalmology platform, a dermatology group, an urgent care chain, a dental or DSO platform, a veterinary company, an OB/GYN practice management platform, an orthopedic group, an autism treatment platform, a fertility network, a physical therapy chain, or a plastic surgery network. Financial Metric 1: Cost Per Profitable Patient Cost per lead is a media metric. Cost per profitable patient is a financial metric. The distinction matters enormously. A routine wellness visit and a high-value elective procedure may have identical acquisition costs, but their contribution to EBITDA is radically different. When you measure and report on cost per profitable patient, segmented by service category and location, you give operating partners the information they need to have a financial conversation about healthcare marketing. This single metric shift changes how sponsors perceive the marketing function, regardless of specialty. Financial Metric 2: Marketing's Contribution to Same-Site EBITDA Growth This is the metric most CMOs aspire to, but few can actually calculate. It requires attribution infrastructure that connects campaign activity to production outcomes at the location level. When built correctly, it allows you to show, specifically, how much of the same-site revenue increase in a given quarter was driven by reactivation campaigns, how much by... - Published: 2026-04-03 - Modified: 2026-06-26 - URL: https://www.agencycreative.com/blog/multi-site-healthcare-marketing-strategy-for-an-operating-partner/ CMOs often assume PE sponsors want aggressive growth at any cost. This blog reframes what sophisticated sponsors actually value: predictability, attribution, and margin contribution — which changes everything about how a healthcare marketing strategy should be run What Your Operating Partner Actually Wants From a Multi-Site Healthcare Marketing Strategy (It's Not What You Think) Growth-Stage vs. Maturity-Stage: A Critical Distinction Not all operating partners want the same thing from a healthcare marketing strategy. Growth-stage sponsors — those in the first two to three years of a platform investment — are focused on market capture, new location velocity, and building the foundation for scale. This is true whether the platform is adding behavioral health clinics, ophthalmology practices, dermatology centers, urgent care sites, dental practices, veterinary clinics, OB/GYN practices, orthopedic groups, autism treatment centers, fertility clinics, physical therapy chains, or plastic surgery centers. Maturity-stage sponsors — those preparing for a recap or platform sale — want margin expansion, predictable same-site performance, and marketing infrastructure that a future buyer will pay a premium for. Understanding which stage your sponsors are in changes what success looks like for your healthcare marketing strategy. Why Predictability Is More Valuable Than Peaks Most operating partners prize predictability. A multi-site marketing platform that consistently delivers 8% same-site revenue growth every quarter commands a higher multiple than one that delivers 15% in two quarters and 2% in the others — even if the average is higher. Marketing's job is not to create performance peaks. It is to build the systems that produce consistent, forecastable results. When your healthcare marketing strategy makes same-site performance predictable, you are not just making marketing more effective; you are directly contributing to how buyers will value the platform. The 'Marketing as a Repeatable System' Mindset The most sophisticated CMOs think about marketing less like a creative function and more like a production system. The inputs are media investment, content, and campaign infrastructure. The outputs are patient acquisition, service mix improvement, and same-site revenue growth — all of which are measurable and... - Published: 2026-04-01 - Modified: 2026-06-26 - URL: https://www.agencycreative.com/blog/the-multi-site-healthcare-marketing-approach/ Every CMO at a PE-backed multi-site healthcare platform has sat across the table from an operating partner who questions the healthcare marketing budget. This blog gives you the exact argument to win that meeting — in PE language, with financial framing. Why Some Firms Default to Viewing Healthcare Marketing as Overhead Some firms are trained to find and eliminate inefficiency. When they look at a marketing budget without a clear financial model connecting spend to returns, their instinct is rational: cut it. The problem is not that your operating partners are wrong to ask the question. The problem is that most multi-site healthcare marketing functions have not built the infrastructure to answer it compellingly. Whether you are running a behavioral health platform, an ophthalmology network, an urgent care platform, a dental or DSO platform, a dermatology group, a veterinary company, an OB/GYN practice management company, an orthopedic group, an autism treatment center, a fertility clinic, a physical therapy company or a plastic surgery platform, the dynamic is the same. Until marketing can show its contribution in EBITDA terms, it will always be vulnerable to the next budget cycle. The Three Metrics Your Operating Partners Actually Care About Forget impressions, clicks, and engagement rates. The metrics that move conversations are same-site revenue growth, de novo ramp speed, and cost of patient acquisition relative to contribution margin. These are the financial levers your sponsors track in every board meeting. Healthcare marketing that cannot demonstrate its contribution to these three areas is, from a business perspective, discretionary spend. Marketing that can demonstrate that contribution becomes a capital allocation priority. Translating Healthcare Marketing Spend Into EBITDA Language The shift from marketing language to financial language is simpler than most CMOs think, but it requires building a different reporting infrastructure. Instead of reporting on campaign performance, you report on revenue outcomes. Instead of measuring cost per lead, you measure cost per profitable patient. Instead of presenting impressions, you present same-site revenue contribution by location. When you make this shift, the budget conversation changes fundamentally — because... - Published: 2026-03-23 - Modified: 2026-06-01 - URL: https://www.agencycreative.com/blog/marketing-for-pe-backed-healthcare-platforms-driving-growth-and-ebitda/ Celebrating 25 years of storytelling and strategy here in Dallas, Agency Creative understands that for a CMO or VP of Growth in the private equity-backed healthcare space, the pressure is different. How healthcare CMOs and growth leaders are aligning marketing strategy with private equity performance expectations. Celebrating 25 years of storytelling and strategy here in Dallas, Agency Creative understands that for a CMO or VP of Growth in the private equity-backed healthcare space, the pressure is different. You’re not just managing a brand. You’re answering to a sponsor focused on performance. Whether you're scaling a Dental Service Organization (DSO) or expanding a behavioral health platform, marketing leaders today are expected to deliver measurable growth—growth that supports both patient care and enterprise value. Our role is to help you speak the language of EBITDA while protecting what matters most in healthcare: the patient experience. The New Landscape: Hyper-Local and Internet-Proof Recent reporting in The Economist highlights what many operators already see happening: private equity continues to consolidate fragmented service industries. Today, 85% of PE investments are in firms with fewer than 500 employees. From car washes to dental clinics, the strategy is similar: invest in local services that technology can’t easily replace. As Scott Romanoff of Franchise Equity Partners puts it: “Amazon can’t work out for you, and they can’t deliver your coffee. ” Healthcare fits squarely within that thesis. Private equity investment continues to move deeper into sectors like: Specialized Outpatient Care — Urgent Care and Ambulatory Surgery Centers High-Margin Physician Specialties — Dermatology, Ophthalmology, GI, Orthopedics Behavioral Health — ABA therapy, substance use treatment, and mental health services These sectors offer strong opportunities for growth, but scaling them requires discipline across operations, patient experience, and marketing. Navigating the Sponsor: Marketing as a Strategic Ally Inside PE-backed healthcare platforms, marketing leaders operate with a clear mandate: deliver results that support the investment thesis. Agency Creative works alongside growth leaders as boots-on-the-ground partners, helping execute against four areas that consistently matter to... - Published: 2026-02-26 - Modified: 2026-05-01 - URL: https://www.agencycreative.com/blog/why-data-first-is-the-only-way-to-fly/ At Agency Creative, we believe that while human ingenuity provides the spark, data provides the fuel.

If you had described today’s online world to someone ten years ago, I’m not sure they would’ve believed you. The ease of access to quality online content is astonishing. Google’s objective, like that of other search engines, is to provide the most accurate and relevant content based on the user's search. At the click of a button, consumers are empowered by lightning access to meaningful content. So the potential of developing a revenue-producing website is more than realistic – as long as you understand the ground rules. Doing so requires much more than buying an online template. It depends on how astute your marketing or digital partner is in understanding the dynamics of online marketing. Specifically, I’m referring to understanding online user habits. Knowing how and when to introduce content to them, how to properly set up navigation, and how to design the pages for ease of flow and use. It is also based on understanding the category’s revenue-generating keywords and then applying appropriate keyword inclusion on the website – known in the industry as search engine optimization (SEO). Online marketing also relates to off-page SEO. This effort requires promoting a website on related third-party sites, which then provides credibility and traffic to your site. Here is a list of solid practices to begin making your website a revenue-producing website: • Understanding your prospect • Quality branding and messaging • Ease of navigation • Proper site building techniques • Speed of website loads • Relevant keyword inclusion • Strong call-to-actions • Effective off-site link building • Responsive design (mobile, tablet, desktop)   Of course, this is just a short list.

Read to learn more about: The Future of Healthcare Marketing | Agency Creative Service Line Growth Through Precision Campaigns: The Future of Healthcare Marketing Let's be honest—hospital CEOs don't lose sleep over vague marketing metrics. They're laser-focused on what really moves the needle: driving growth in those high-margin, strategic service lines like cardiology, orthopedics, and oncology. And frankly, who can blame them? Enter precision campaigns—the marketing world's answer to "spray and pray" advertising. Picture them as a laser-focused beam in a landscape filled with broad strokes. Beyond the Marketing Megaphone Gone are the days when healthcare marketing meant shouting into the void and hoping someone with the right insurance heard you. Precision campaigns use real-time data to identify and engage high-value patients based on medical risk, age, behavior, and lifestyle. Picture this: instead of plastering "Joint Replacement Surgery! " ads everywhere (and inadvertently targeting marathon runners in their twenties), a smart campaign zeroes in on active adults over 50 who've recently searched for mobility aids or arthritis care. It's like having a conversation instead of delivering a lecture to an empty auditorium. This privacy-forward targeting doesn't just improve efficiency and ROI—it actually gets people the right care at the right time. And yes, we're a little proud that we've perfected this approach at Agency Creative, working hand-in-hand with our strategic DSP partner, Cadent, through their predictive healthcare audience building process. Data Is Great, But Context Is King Here's the thing though—data without strategy is just expensive spreadsheets. The real magic happens with robust consumer segmentation. We're talking about understanding people as, well, people. Not just "Female, 45-54, Lives in Zip Code 12345. " When you categorize individuals based on their health status, care preferences, and digital behaviors, suddenly you can craft messaging that actually resonates.

Here’s why... Why we recommend rich media advertising As your advertising agency, we strongly recommend incorporating rich media ads into your marketing mix. Here's why: Engagement Powerhouse: Rich media throws out the static ad rulebook, replacing it with interactive experiences that captivate users. Videos, animations, games – these elements skyrocket engagement rates compared to standard banners. Studies show a 267% to 1000% increase in click-through rates (CTRs) and a staggering 7. 44 times higher engagement rate globally. Rich Media Ads for Maximum ROI, Publift; Rich Media and Video Benchmarks, American Association of Advertising Agencies. Memorable Impact: Rich media isn't just about clicks; it's about creating a lasting impression. Interactive experiences become mini-narratives or entertaining diversions, fostering brand recall far exceeding a passive banner. Multi-Faceted Approach: Rich media complements your overall media strategy. It injects dynamism into your ad campaign, grabbing attention while other tactics, like social media or search ads, nurture leads further down the funnel. 4 way swipe rich media ad https://www. agencycreative. com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Eco-Rich-Media-Ad-V2. mp4 Beyond the Rich: A Complementary MixRich media is a powerful tool, but it's most effective as part of a well-rounded campaign.

Trust is invaluable. Has Google squandered it? Trust A firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of someone or something. Recently, an anonymous source shared thousands of leaked Google Search API documents with Rand Fishkin, CEO of Sparktoro and former CEO and co-founder of Moz. Fishkin is an industry icon and a well-respected expert on all things search. In an email, the anonymous leaker claimed that the leaked documents were confirmed as authentic by ex-Google employees and that those ex-employees and others had shared additional private information about Google’s search operations. It is important to note that many of their claims directly contradict public statements made by Googlers over the years. ("Googlers" is the fondly-given name to long-term Google employees, a name they may keep even after leaving the company. ) In particular, the company has repeatedly denied that click-centric user signals are employed, denied that subdomains are considered separately in rankings, denied the existence of a sandbox for newer websites, and denied that a domain’s age is collected or considered, and more. Much more. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. And while some of these overlap with information revealed during the Google/DOJ case, many are novel and suggest insider knowledge. SEO experts have combed through the details, and I am here to tell you, these leaks look authentic. You’ve heard the term “they speak with a forked tongue. ” This certainly applies to what the Googlers have been doing.

This will have a negative effect on your company’s website ranking and site visitors. Have I gotten your attention yet? What is Google SGE? How can it impact your business? On May 14, 2024, Google launched Search Generative Experience (SGE). This will negatively affect your company’s website ranking and visitor numbers. Have I gotten your attention yet? You are most likely asking yourself, “What is SGE? ” Let me explain. Google SGE is a new form of AI-driven search. Instead of Google delivering a list of websites that address the user’s needs, the AI answers the search request on its own. It’s a two-way communication – much like ChatGPT. SGE delivers a summation as a response combining input from several sources. So, if the user is satisfied with Google’s AI response, he or she won’t search any further or visit any websites for real subject-matter experts. In other words, the search ends before the user can dive any deeper. Are you getting the point now? This means most websites’ rankings will drop – possibly even drastically drop. Additionally, Google has admitted that its AI can make mistakes. Here are just a few: It may misinterpret its findings due to language differences, resulting in an inaccurate answer. In Google’s attempt to provide high-quality data, the AI may offer a narrow response that can appear biased. Yes, it will provide you with content that the AI deems more accurate based on its analysis of online sources. But based on whose opinion? It seems it wants to do the thinking for you. Another problem is that Google’s SGE may appear to contradict other search results. Instead of you seeing individual responses, the AI consolidates information from many sources and gives a summation of those combined responses. Again, this does not allow the searcher to draw their own conclusion. So how will online users find your website? You will have to pay.

Here's what we've learned about competitive intelligence at Agency Creative. Competitive Intelligence: What You Need to Know Every marketer knows that understanding what your competitors are up to is essential, but not every marketer has the best tips and techniques at their disposal. Here are several ideas to ensure you’ve secured the competitive intelligence to come out ahead: 1. Choose more than one competitor. This is important because it allows you to get a more complete picture of the competitive landscape. You should also choose competitors that are both similar to and different from your company. This will help you to identify both your strengths and weaknesses. 2. Ask different departments and senior management within your organization for competitor names. This is a great way to get a variety of perspectives on your competitors. Different departments will have different needs and priorities, so they will be looking for different information. For example, the marketing department may be interested in competitor marketing campaigns, while the HR department may be interested in competitor employee benefit plans and major moves affecting the workforce such as acquisitions/mergers or layoffs. FACT - 20% of employees voluntarily leave a company following a merger. 3. Perform keyword research and monitor Google search ranking. This will help you to understand how your competitors are performing online. You can use tools like Google Keyword Planner and SEMrush to track your competitors' search ranking and traffic. 4. Follow industry news or staying up to date with industry trends. This will help you to identify new opportunities and threats. You can subscribe to industry publications and follow industry leaders on social media. 5. Monitoring news or blog posts for competitor mentions. This will help you to keep track of what your competitors are doing and saying. These tools can track your competitors' website traffic, social media activity, and even product launches.... - Published: 2023-09-21 - Modified: 2026-07-02 - URL: https://www.agencycreative.com/blog/our-wings-your-anywhere-manext-has-arrived/ Agency Creative is excited to announce a recent website created for Million Air Dallas, launched under the newly developed MAnext brand.

AI for Healthcare is Disrupting Healthcare Marketing. “The digital age of advertising has only been around since the mid ‘90s. When I graduated from college in the mid ‘80s, we didn’t even use computers. But in 1994 digital marketing began when the first online ad was posted to a website. Then in 1996 the first social networking site was launched, followed by the birth of social media advertising in 2004. ” says Mark Wyatt, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Agency Creative. Over the last few years precision targeting has evolved due to data collected on each one of us. However, in the healthcare industry, the unique challenges of regulations and HIPAA has limited our ability to leverage many advanced advertising methods. But now, the game has changed. A new machine learning platform designed specifically for the healthcare industry has fundamentally changed how healthcare marketers target patients and providers. It uses contextual and other privacy-friendly signals to identify connections between devices and locations. It targets the right people with the right message at the right time. This HIPAA-compliant privacy-first platform has created a digital media solution that is a true game-changer for healthcare marketers. Customized machine learning predictive models inform all media buying decisions, driving performance throughout the patient journey and leveraging upper-funnel campaign data to drive lower-funnel results. This AI for healthcare marketing extends beyond endemic health properties to reach new audiences at scale using streaming tv, rich media, digital display ads, and more. Once a campaign launches, it evaluates patterns in seconds to accurately deliver advertising only to the audience sets that show the highest probability of interest at any given time.

This is why most successful companies engage the services of an outside marketing group. 10 Compelling Reasons to Outsource Marketing If you are a small to mid-sized company, you know effective marketing is essential to your brand’s long-term success. This is why most successful companies engage the services of an outside marketing group. If this is something you are considering, Agency Creative would like to point out 10 key advantages to outsource marketing for our company's needs. 1. Greater Efficiency Outsourcing your marketing saves you time and allows you to focus on your product’s quality, customer satisfaction, profitability, distribution, and a thousand other daily headaches. Want to shorten that lengthy to-do list? Want to get more hours in your day? Outsource your marketing to an expert. That’s what Ferrini Boots did. The results? 15% increase in sales. 2. Improved Speed Want to speed up your success? Let an outside marketing agency take the wheel. They offer you the advantage of being more in touch with relevant trends, state-of-the-art technologies, and changing customer attitudes. This insight and expertise enables them to quickly implement an action plan, improve brand awareness, and provide greater ROI. 3. Cost Reductions Staffing a business is pricey. Plus, it can take weeks or even months to fill that open position. And the time to train an employee could take a couple weeks or even 1-2 months depending on the nature of the position. Little wonder that smaller to mid-sized businesses see significant cost savings by going with an outside marketing agency. 4. Fresh Eyes When a business outsources their marketing, they get a fresh perspective on their brand, the competition, the evolving marketplace, as well as an awareness of unforeseen opportunities.

Start by making your business proposition crystal clear. What exactly is your audience signing up for? Give them a good reason to hand over their email or contact information to your company. The key benefit of your product or service should be front and center as well as easily digestible. More than offers. Lead “magnets. ” Now it’s time to come up with an offer that they can’t refuse. A discount code, free trial, newsletter, webinar – there are many options here. By offering your audience exclusive, downloadable content, you have a better than average chance of reeling them in. You’re giving them a chance to participate in a way that is both meaningful and valuable. Landing pages. Where suspects become prospects. This is where the magic happens. A/B test your landing pages to maximize your lead acquisitions. Hook your prospects with an effective lead generation form that is prominently displayed. And keep it short and sweet if possible – name, company, email address. A few taps. A lot of leads. Keep mobile in mind when designing your forms. These days, over 85% of Facebook interactions take place on a smartphone. Consequently, Facebook now offers Facebook Lead Ads to make filling out forms a breeze. Customers can simply tap your ad and a pre-populated form pops up ready to go.

Starting a Podcast. Mining Your Niche. Interested in starting a podcast for your brand? These days there are all sorts of ways to market your brand, but one of the most underappreciated and underutilized platforms is the podcast. Listeners are on the rise for the various podcast channels (iTunes, Spotify, etc. ) It is estimated that more than 115 million people listen to one or more podcasts on a weekly basis. Boost your SEO Want to improve your website’s page rankings? Consider podcasts. According to Forbes magazine, iTunes is a “rank one” website. Which means any founder who is featured on a particular podcast that has a written show note description contributes to SEO ratings of the brand. Extend your Reach Podcasts are more than a marketing tool. They are also an effective means of extending your brand’s reach. Despite the growing popularity of podcasts, there is still relatively low competition. This allows you to stand out as an expert in your field with minimal effort. Nurture Brand Loyalty Podcasts not only help divert traffic to other social channels, but they also produce more loyal followers. You educate and connect with customers at a deeper level, while helping to grow a loyal listening community. Create Community If you have struggled to expand your social following, a podcast is one way to efficiently create community and improve your engagement. People want to “belong” to something that is meaningful, so give them a good reason. Inform your Listeners The average podcast listener is looking to learn something. So why not tell them about what your business does? A good podcast informs. It engages. It educates. Teach people something new, and your brand will ultimately benefit from it.

And if you’re a restaurant marketer during this time of year, what better time to pour yourself a frosty mug of green beer and learn from the big man himself. St. Patty’s Day is here. If you’re a restaurant marketer during this time of year, what better time to pour yourself a frosty mug of green beer and learn from the big man himself. St. Patrick's marketing skills were remarkable and underappreciated. Despite what we might think, St. Patrick was not the patron saint of day drinking. He was, in fact, the patron saint of Ireland. And possibly one of marketing’s first true Ad Men. Patrick was an innovative fellow who can still teach us a lot about reaching an audience, developing single-minded propositions, and successfully converting prospects to a brand. Here are just a couple of the ways: Shamrocks. The first social media memes. Long before Facebook, Instagram or Tik Tok, St. Patrick launched the world’s first social media meme with a simple three-leaf shamrock. With it he taught the pagan Irish all about the Christian God. One God in three persons. Get it? Today, single-minded memes are still used as quick, simple ways to increase brand awareness, store traffic and social engagement. Thanks, Patrick. Crazy high conversion rates Over those years, he successfully converted the rough and tumble Irish heathen to Christianity. Patrick no doubt understood that a sales funnel is only as good as the shoe leather you put against it. Today, the same principle of nurturing your prospects down the funnel applies... particularly in such a competitive space as restaurants. But now, let’s look at the day itself. More green in the till Looking at the restaurant industry today, it is estimated more than half of the US will celebrate St. Patrick’s Day at a local pub or eatery. Here are a few St. Patty’s marketing ideas that will have you seeing more green. To stimulate higher bar tabs, create engaging, in-person experiences.

It has many features and capabilities that allow you to manage, maintain and scale your business. Getting all those things done, however, can be a bit overwhelming. That's why many businesses struggle to get their full value from marketing automation platforms (MAPs). Most clients we work with underestimate the amount of time it takes to fully train on all the available features. This is why finding a partner makes sense. They do all the heavy lifting, and they know the questions to ask, guiding you through the learning curve to discover how best to leverage the platform. The HubSpot CRM is one of the most powerful marketing automation platforms available on the market today. It allows you to nurture your prospects from a free trial to becoming a customer and an advocate promoting your business for you. Don't be penny-wise and pound-foolish. Find a HubSpot partner like Agency Creative and start winning new customers in days rather than months. - Published: 2023-02-16 - Modified: 2026-04-23 - URL: https://www.agencycreative.com/blog/best-lake-experience-close-to-home/ Agency Creative is excited to announce our new client Texoma Destinations.

Best Lake Experience Close to Home Agency Creative is excited to announce our new client Texoma Destinations. They are the largest provider of lake lodging, boating and exciting experiences within Texas and the four surrounding states. Agency Creative will be developing a new brand positioning and powerful advertising campaign to increase awareness and year-round bookings for this one-of-a-kind destination within a broad regional area. “Texoma Destinations has so many fun things to do that are close to home. It’s the perfect destination for young couples, families and large groups who want to have a diverse lake experience,” said Mike Scannell, President at Agency Creative. “We’re excited about launching their new brand that’s all about lakeside activities and making great memories. ” “As soon as we met the folks at Agency Creative we knew that they possessed both the passion and business acumen that can help us create a meaningful brand strategy and outstanding creative that we need to accomplish our growth plans,” said Michael Tucker, general manager of Texoma Destinations. “We are very much looking forward to seeing our brand come to life in new and exciting ways. ” Needless to say, we’re looking forward to telling their story in a powerful way such that more people can have enjoyable lakeside experiences so close to home. - Published: 2023-02-14 - Modified: 2026-04-23 - URL: https://www.agencycreative.com/blog/6-loveable-marketing-ideas-for-valentines/ Ever since St Valentine literally lost his head for secretly marrying folks against the emperor’s decree, folks have been losing their heads over this romance-saturated holiday. 6 Loveable Marketing Ideas for Valentine’s Ever since St. Valentine literally lost his head for secretly marrying folks against the emperor’s decree, folks have been losing their heads over this romance-saturated holiday. In this year alone, Americans are projected to spend more than $24 billion dollars on Valentine’s cards, candy, dining, travel, lingerie, and other assorted merchandise. So how does a retail business like yours cash in on this love bug? Agency Creative shares six marketing ideas for Valentine's. 1) User-generated Love Stories Back in the day, young lovers would scissor out paper hearts to demonstrate their undying affection. That took talent! Today, we have social media platforms to promote user-generated love notes. Consider a Valentine Love Challenge where your subscribers describe their sexiest Valentine’s dinner. Invite your Instagram followers to submit videos of their sexiest ballroom dance moves. Or what about photos of the most elaborate marriage proposal? Last year, a brand called MeUndies launched an Instagram campaign asking couples to share photos of themselves wearing matching underwear with the hash tag #MatchMeUndies. That gave them a lot of exposure. 2) Dollars to Donuts, Any Business Can make a V-DAY Event You don’t have to be a greeting card or lingerie brand to leverage Valentine’s. Dunkin’ Donuts utilized their social platforms to invite customers to compete in a “Dunkin’ Love” Instagram contest, streaming on Facebook Live, and having Snapchat Geofilters. Sold a lot of cruellers. 3) What’s love got to do with it? You don’t have to be Irish to drink green beer on St Paddy’s Day. So who says Valentine’s Day has to be focused on couples? Consider spreading the V-Day net a bit wider. Design a promotion that transcends romance. Think Bromance, dudes! Or heck, what about a Galentine’s Day Sale, ladies?

Staying On Brand Staying on brand is more than utilizing the correct font for your PowerPoint. It’s more than making sure the logo isn’t stretched. It is more than keeping the Brand Standards deck in your top drawer. Staying on brand is about making sure that every member of your organization from the CEO to the receptionist can articulate your business’s mission. It means that every junior executive can identify your brand’s personality. It’s about protecting the brand. All staff should be brand ambassadors for your company. Brand recognition There are plenty of ways to have a great logo. Whether it is the never-shifting nostalgic cursive on the Coca-Cola logo or the wordless bullseye on the Target building. Your brand’s logo may not be a household word or the ubiquitous golden arches on the Big Mac box. But it will never be those things if it is not protected. Brand recognition is directly linked to brand consistency. If brands are constantly changing their logo, color scheme, or anything else that is recognizable as a branding element, consumers will get confused. This is damaging in both short-term sales and long-term customer loyalty. Brand recall Maintaining a consistent brand image is one of the best ways to promote your business. After all, having a consistent look makes it easier for potential customers to remember you. It makes you more recognizable in your industry. It helps differentiate you from your competition. Create a style guide The most practical way to stay on brand is to have a style guide. It is the document whose sole purpose is to keep you from coloring outside the lines. It helps new employees to learn the company’s branding and ensures that everyone uses the same terminology.

Although we don’t claim to be Nostradamus, Agency Creative would like to dip our toe into 2023 and make a few forecasts on what the year holds for your brand. 1. Video Marketing Content Will Increase Just a few years ago a brand video required a pricey digital camera rig, lighting package, boom mic, videographer, sound man, and an editor with a sleeve full of tattoos to produce a video. Now we can do most of this with our smart phone (although, lights and a microphone are still advised. ) Little wonder that 2023 is forecasted to increase the amount of video content on platforms like YouTube, Instagram, Tik Tok, and Vimeo. Why? Statistics tell the story: brands utilizing video content get 66% more qualified leads each year. Plus, they achieve a 54% increase in brand awareness. What sort of things can you post? Tutorials, product demos, live webinars, user reviews, vlogs, animated explainers, and more. If you aren’t utilizing video content to promote your brand, 2023 is the year to begin. 2. User-Generated Content Will Overcome Customer Cynicism User-generated content is essentially word-of-mouth advertising you can Google—it creates a connection and tells a story through personal recommendations. We predict social media will continue to reshape our news consumption, politics, and marketing. Brands that once relied on traditional media like radio, television, and magazines for their marketing needs are increasingly leveraging user-generated reviews, podcasts, and video unboxings to raise audience engagement. A lot of customers simply don’t trust advertisers, marketers, or businesses. But volunteer reviewers on Facebook, YouTube, and other venues are esteemed to be relatively trustworthy. 3. New Targeting and Re-Targeting Solutions Will Expand Broadcast TV commercials perform well for brands wanting to cast a wide net and we predict this will continue in 2023.

The Fútbol vs soccer debate goes on. The United States is the only place in the world where ‘football’ means something else. Instead, for the rest of the world, “football” refers to what we in the United States call Soccer. And while the USA still struggles to accept Fútbol as passionately as the rest of the world, the FIFA World Cup came to an end. We watched 32 teams play 64 games. Argentina beat France to become a three-time champion. This was the first World Cup held in the Arab world and Muslim world, the first time that it’s not played during the summer, the first time beer was not sold in stadiums. All in all, it was a World Cup with much controversy. TV ratings were broken as Argentina and France squared off and the two fútbol superpowers played the final game, confirming that it is THE most popular sport in the world. When comparing TV viewership we are talking about billions against millions. The US team qualified to go to Qatar and played a decent first round, but were eliminated in the second phase. If the team could have done better, it would have helped to bring more people into the game. The fact that the USA has never won may explain why the sport still struggles to gain traction here in the states. For America, soccer is probably more a kids sports activity, and despite the growth of the professional soccer league, the sport itself and the FIFA World Cup remains a foreign passion Americans don’t fully grasp.

Batching this content for future publication is both a challenge and an artform. Creating relevant, high-performing social content is always a challenge. Batching this content for future publication is both a challenge and an art form. Through disciplined strategic content batching, you can efficiently channel your team’s creative energy and schedule social content weeks in advance. The result? Fresh, stress-free content that is on the shelf, ready to go. Here are a few basic tips: STEP ONE: Determine your content pillars. Sound intimidating? Not in the least. A content pillar is nothing more than a clearly defined topic category (for example, eBooks, vegetarian recipes, automotive accessories, housewares, etc. ) Make your list. STEP TWO: Access your recent posts. What have you already covered? What more can be said? What can you repurpose? STEP THREE: Brain power–use it. It is amazing how putting your head together for a few minutes can blow out the cobwebs and help generate a long list of trend-worthy topics. STEP FOUR: What’s the hook? Develop a brief, pithy captions, and hashtags that are both intriguing and keyword rich. STEP FIVE: What’s the visual? Stunning images, witty memes, and short, punchy videos are essential in grabbing your audience’s attention. Happy hunting. STEP SIX: Trim the fat. Make sure your content is short, sweet, and rewarding. STEP SEVEN: Set your schedule. Draw up your calendar and schedule your postings. There are all sorts of helpful tools that can expedite this process. Plann, SocialPilot, Loomly, SocialBee, Sendible, Hootsuite, Planoly, and others are all at your disposal. STEP EIGHT: Override autopilot, when needed. If a meteorite falls on Cleveland, an earthquake swallows up Vermont or a Kardashian gets a DWI, you might need to pull a post or at least, tweak it. Stay alert. Content batching is a great technique for staying ahead during the busy holiday season.

A Picture-Perfect Thanksgiving Feast You know the drill: Mama slaving over a hot stove, sleep-deprived Uncle Dave putting the final touches on his deep-fried turkey, Grandma Evans baking her famous pecan pies, and Cousin Kevin showing up late with the cranberry sauce in the shape of a can. Way to go, Kevin. But before you ask your favorite Baptist granddad to say another longwinded blessing, let’s document this beauty. Grab your camera that doubles as a cell phone and Instagram this moment. A few tips: Let the window be your light source. Natural window light produces the best food photography results compared to overhead lighting. Pose the food. Food looks best when backlit. Position your dish near a window and aim at the food, not the light source. Find a simple plate. Avoid busy patterns or paper plates. Solid white or dark plates make food stand out. Use a linen napkin and fork for styling. Place a folded napkin under the plate and rest a fork nearby for composition. Consider a charger plate if shooting from above, but ensure it doesn’t overwhelm the food itself. Style the food intentionally. Arrange slices, fluff sides, drizzle sauces, and add visual texture where possible. Add color contrast. Turkey and dressing can look neutral, so include greens, reds, oranges, and browns to make the plate more vibrant. Use portrait mode on your smartphone to blur the background and isolate the subject. For the ambitious: If you want to photograph the full Thanksgiving table, think in motion. Use video mode and pan across the spread — the turkey, sides, and pies. Take a few passes and have fun with it. - Published: 2022-11-09 - Modified: 2026-06-23 - URL: https://www.agencycreative.com/blog/giving-tuesday-its-a-thing/ We’ve all heard of Thanksgiving Thursday.

It’s an all-American tradition that seamlessly combines gratitude, televised parades, overeating, and football. But did you know that a couple of days later is something known as Giving Tuesday? It’s a global movement focused not on what we receive, but on how much we can give. This movement is designed to encourage radical generosity. It began in 2012 and has since grown into a global initiative impacting hundreds of thousands of people around the world. People helping people. How does it work? Simple. On Tuesday, November 29th, you take time to do something kind—smile at a stranger, donate to a charity, volunteer, support a local business, or pay for someone’s coffee in line. Or take it further. Commit to being more selfless every Tuesday of the year—or even every day. You can even encourage your company to adopt the idea as part of its culture. Participating in Giving Tuesday not only helps others—it can also help make you a better person. Now there’s a thought. - Published: 2022-10-25 - Modified: 2026-06-23 - URL: https://www.agencycreative.com/blog/give-customers-a-reason-to-support-your-brand-this-holiday-season-heres-how/ As the holiday season is fast approaching, it’s crucial that your business makes a splash. It seems nearly everyone has a product or service for sale once December comes along! That’s precisely why transforming your brand is more important than ever. As the holiday season approaches, it’s crucial that your business makes a splash. Nearly everyone has a product or service for sale in December, which makes standing out more important than ever. Here’s how you can do it: Don’t be afraid to get creative. Harness your creative energy and channel it into marketing efforts. Design special holiday edition packaging and gift wrap for online orders, or create a fun and quick email campaign for repeat customers. That extra creative step can make a significant impact on customers who are overwhelmed with choices. Let’s not forget why the holidays are special. The spirit of giving and generosity is something people actively look to participate in. Make it easy for your customers by offering ways to give back. This could include donating a portion of purchases to charity or introducing a “round-up” program where the difference goes to a cause. Customers appreciate meaningful options, especially during the holiday season. Social media is about storytelling. Too often, holiday advertising becomes repetitive or uninspiring. The holiday season is the perfect opportunity to tell your story in a more engaging way. Show how your product is made, share what inspired your brand, or highlight your team in action. People are more receptive during this time of year, so focus on authentic, heartfelt storytelling that connects emotionally. Make this holiday season the one where your brand stands out. - Published: 2022-09-07 - Modified: 2026-04-23 - URL: https://www.agencycreative.com/blog/quality-not-qauntity/ Want to make your marketing dollars go farther?

But you can create and increase brand awareness even without a big budget. Here are some ideas to start the process. Every product or service has advertising or marketing budget restrictions. But you can create and increase brand awareness even without a big budget. Here are some ideas to start the process. Increase your SEO. Make it easy for prospects and customers to find you online. Keywords are king. Make your site easier to find by determining which keywords work best. The search words getting the most traffic and conversions are a great place to start. Long-tail keywords (those used when a consumer is close to purchasing or using voice search) can be even more productive here. Utilize link-building. Find relevant websites that have a natural link to your product or service. While some choose to pay for acquiring new links, there can be a big penalty from Google for doing so. Optimize content. Make sure your content is written so that it reaches the largest possible audience. Use social media. Facebook and Instagram are still the rulers here, but Twitter is also important and Tik-Tok is beginning to play a larger role. Facebook allows direct interaction with the community, and Instagram’s use of images can be a very powerful motivator. Twitter is text-heavy and allows you to interact with customers already talking about your business. Tik-Tok provides a quick video visual medium that can be very compelling. Identify possibilities for free media coverage. Find the outlets that make the most sense for your product or service: online, TV, radio, print, podcasts. HARO (Help A Reporter Out) can be a good source for this, as can media booths at trade shows. Be sure to familiarize yourself with the outlet before you make the pitch. All this takes time and effort but will pay off in the long run, in terms of increased exposure and budget efficiency. - Published: 2022-06-23 - Modified: 2026-04-23 - URL: https://www.agencycreative.com/blog/kylitos-salsa-will-get-you-confessing/ We’re thrilled to launch our new social media campaign for Kylito’s Salsa.

We’re thrilled to launch our new social media campaign for Kylito’s Salsa. Through their new campaign, the truth about this homemade tasting goodness is getting out! In such a cluttered category, with little product differentiation, Agency Creative dug deeper into the brand to find a unique selling proposition. This new campaign calls for people to come forth and tell the truth. To be honest to goodness, to admit what they’re hiding, and to share the good news. Enough of hiding the Kylito’s jar, it’s time for the truth to come out. Through this direction, a slew of spin-off ideas came along with it, allowing us to create a campaign with many legs. All sorts of funny “little white lies” are being germinated – from lying to in-laws, colleagues, neighbors, and friends everyone is finding something to reveal. This campaign has induced a new sense of pride, and Kylito’s lovers are now starting to open up to share their truth – “Behind every great salsa, there’s Kylito’s. ” “We even created an anonymous landing page for people to tell us their stories. It’s crowdsourcing at its best. We wanted everyone who has ever served Kylito’s and claimed it as their own to share their story. We absolutely love them and their stories,” said Creative Director, Max Lefeld.     This month some of the shared confessions will make it out as ads themselves. “This is not some marketing gimmick taking the traditional advertising route and just claiming that their salsa is delicious. These are actual users. Kylito’s loyal fan base is finding a safe haven to tell their stories,” added Scott Schindele, Vice President of Client Services.

When consumers think of your brand, what is that image? Whether your product or service is aimed at consumers or other businesses, how you are positioned in their minds is key to success. When consumers think of your brand, what is that image? Where does your brand fit? Looking at the strengths and weaknesses of your product or service, along with opportunities and threats, is a good place to start. First, who’s your target market? Who are those potential customers who are likely to buy your product, and is that group a big enough base to generate a profit? Here’s where good market research, in addition to information from your sales or marketing team, can help. What makes your brand unique? Is it different from/better than the competition? Is there a clear benefit to the customer? How does it solve a problem or fulfill a goal? What does the present and future offer in terms of opportunities and competition? Decide how to compete: is it price, is it quality, is it convenience? There are a number of ways to position for success. Positioning can be based on: 1. Product characteristics For example, Apple (Macintosh) originally owned design and cachet in the computer arena. Whole Foods bases its positioning on healthy and organic. 2. Price Is it cheaper or the cheapest? Generic brands are a good example. 3. Quality or luxury Quality or prestige can win over price. BMW and Mercedes are examples in this category. 4. Product use or application Examples are prepared meals or ready-to-cook deliveries that offer convenience, filling a consumer need. 5. Competition This is the differentiation that makes it unique in the marketplace. Take all of these into consideration and find where your brand fits. Good positioning=success.

As more consumers spend time online, the way they purchase items becomes less linear and direct. They are more digitally influenced, and ads that can be tracked, tested, and revised in real time are more likely to produce results. Programmatic buying on media is an automated method that can be specifically targeted, tested, and revised in real time. This results in fewer buyers being shown ads that are wasted, and more ads targeted to the right people at the right time. This kind of programmatic buying involves four kinds of advertising deals that advertisers can use to buy or sell: Open Auction or Real-Time Bidding Many buyers compete for the deal in real time. Private Marketplace These are usually invitation only with a negotiated minimum price and non-guaranteed volumes. Preferred Deals One-to-one deals with non-guaranteed volumes at a fixed price. Programmatic Guaranteed One-to-one deals with guaranteed volumes at a fixed price. These automated methods allow advertisers to place ads on social media, connected TV, digital audio and out-of-home advertising using a process that guarantees speed and efficiency. Programmatic advertising buying methods offer speed and efficiency not usually experienced with traditional media buying methods. As consumers move more and more into digital, programmatic buying will become more common. Contact Agency Creative today.

The advertisers paid a lot to get them in front of Super Bowl viewers. How did it get there, and who made the decision? Some of us watch the Super Bowl for the game, and some of us watch for the commercials. The advertisers paid a lot to get them in front of Super Bowl viewers. How did it get there, and who made the decision? A media buyer no doubt analyzed who the target audience should be for the brand, then determined the budget and placement. In this instance, the message is placed in front of hundreds of millions of viewers so the visibility and reflected glamor of the environment are part of the package. Media buying utilizes paid advertising on broadcast, print, and digital channels to reach the right consumers with the right message. Planning a media buy involves strategy, and doing the actual buying often involves negotiation skills. The first step is to know your goal. Is it awareness? Increased sales? Social engagement? The second step is to determine your target audience. Who is most likely to be interested in your brand, and where can you find them? Are they spending their time online, are they your current customers, are they prospective customers visiting relevant websites? Do they work in certain locations you can target? . When should you reach them? Is there an optimal time of day, for example, when they are leaving for lunch for a food-related client, or leaving work? The next step is to know your budget. Skilled media buyers purchase ad space for the least amount of money possible to achieve the goal of reaching the right target audience at the right time. A media buyer can often negotiate value-added extras that are included at no additional cost. Advertising can also be bought using programmatic buys, technology that automates media buys.

Brand architecture is an elegant term that defines exactly what you would think: the structure for your brand that serves as the foundation everything else builds upon. There are many marketing buzzwords bandied about without fully defining what they mean. Brand architecture is an elegant term that defines exactly what you would think: the structure for your brand that serves as the foundation everything else builds upon. It’s a road map, an overarching idea that determines brand identity, naming, design; a master organizing strategy that simplifies business for internal audiences while also engaging with consumers. Don’t have a brand architecture strategy in place? You’re not alone. Many businesses create this structure after they have been operating for a while. Let’s look at what brand architecture really means for your business. Think of it as a tree trunk with branches that represent the products and services you offer. But it’s not just one type of tree. One type of brand architecture is a large tree that produces a master brand, with all the branches (products and services) underneath reflecting that master brand. Think Apple or Google. You can understand their other products just by relating to one, because it’s a unifying master brand. Another type of brand architecture tree allows more freedom to the products and services operating beneath it. Think of it as a tree with multiple smaller trees sprouting from its roots, each one a bit different. Procter and Gamble is a good example of this type of brand architecture, with distinct brands like Tide, Folgers, and Pampers operating underneath. A third type of brand architecture tree is a hybrid: there’s been some grafting done but the products and services are still related and growing together. Think of Coca-Cola and its products, which are related to each other but still distinct. Whatever type of brand architecture is right for your business, it should be easy to understand, logical and support your business goals.

Often, when you look at a product, the first thing that catches your eye is the branding. Consumers often have brands they are loyal to because of reputable branding. Brand recognition is what often encourages a purchase without hesitation. The average shopper wants complex thinking done beforehand to minimize wasted time. Building a brand is more than just a logo. Branding expands into the consumer experience in terms of how it makes one feel. Investing in brand development can help ensure that your target consumer is leaving with a positive association with not only your product, but your company as well. Consider branded empires like Apple and Starbucks. These companies surpass selling a product. They have emphasized the importance of brand building and the power of recognition. All over the world, people know these brands and buy-in without hesitation. Their brands convey an experience that transcends a good product and moves into the association of what having their goods means. They have become synonymous with quality and esteem. Branding also helps give shape to your company. It is the direct roadmap to your consumer. Understanding what makes your company different from competitors is critical. Building a foundation on the key characteristics of what your company stands for helps you focus on your desired audience. Creating targeted content that your consumer then responds to allows for increased opportunities of repeat business. Investing in your company’s brand development is investing in yourself. It results in the direct cultivation of increased revenue. When you can focus your branding efforts on a specific cause, you reduce the waste of marketing efforts. Having a stronger brand helps you apply only relevant marketing tactics while reducing waste.

The B2B marketing cycle is longer and more complicated than B2C, but one thing is true for both: your target audience is still a person. B2B purchasers are also consumers and they’re accustomed to a simpler, more streamlined buying experience. There may be multiple decision-makers but make the purchase easier and you’ve got an advantage. Below are 10 simple ways to improve your B2B marketing strategy. Connect personally. Be human. There are real people involved in your brand and they should be a part of your storytelling. Use AI and research to find out what your target audience wants and needs. Buyers’ needs are constantly changing and it’s vital to keep up. Create content specific to your accounts. Research what the people behind these accounts are looking for and post content aimed specifically at them. Create multiple videos at different lengths. People want shorter videos unless they’re deeply engaged, and then they’ll watch longer. Live videos are watched more and there are many more comments. As more hybrid live/virtual events take place, there are opportunities to answer questions from the virtual audience as well. C-suite execs like videos, while end users may want more in-depth information in longer content. Upgrade website retargeting. AI can help identify onsite behavior and serve personalized content to those being retargeted. Use chatbots and texting. Giving people multiple ways to engage with your business makes the purchasing process easier for any group. Make website visits easy for everyone. No more gated content or confusing menus. Your website should be easy to view on any device and easy to navigate. Find your leads on social media. Facebook and Linkedin offer specific industry groups where you can post comments, ask questions, and connect with likeminded industry individuals. Attend trade shows.

Marketing trends embrace these adaptations. Trend 1: Everyone is online more Focus on ongoing advertising and not just one-time promotions. Make sure your website is mobile-friendly. Create a good experience for every part of the consumer search. Include ecommerce as a part of every strategy.

Livestreaming on social media, which can also include a link to purchase. Video call that allows for easier access anywhere.

Utilize influencers who have built their own loyal audience. Ask customers to video their experiences and post online. Trend 5: Embrace new virtual and interactive experiences. Virtual or augmented reality can enhance customer experiences. An example would be, allowing customers to see how eyeglasses look on their face, or placing items virtually into real living spaces can promote purchases. Trend 6: Personalized experience. If you’re a global company, let the parent company provide the technology while the local company manages communications locally. Consumers want less clutter in their inboxes and more valuable local information. Trend 7: Voice search optimization. Consumers don’t want to scroll through irrelevant paid ads and information.

Agency Creative is excited to announce our new business win of Kylito’s Salsa, a Texas-based packaged goods company that markets a family of salsa products to discerning consumers who desire a homemade style salsa in a variety of flavors. The story of Kylito’s started over a decade ago in a small house in Lubbock TX. Kyle Lancaster, one of the company principals, began fiddling with recipes for a salsa that he would sell or give away during sales calls for his regular daytime job. When he randomly saw one of his jars in someone’s home during a sales call, he realized he had built a cult following and decided to tap into it. Partnering with his brother Kraig, Kyle formally launched Kylito’s Salsa and the company hasn’t looked back since. Today, Kylito’s has experienced double-digit growth in national sales, with a distribution base of approximately 4,000 retailers in 26 states. The company’s immediate goal is to penetrate deeper into geographic areas where the company already has significant distribution. “Kylito’s has a powerful brand story to tell, given the simplicity of their ingredients and unique cooking process that delivers a consistently homemade taste,” said Scott Schindele, VP Client Services of Agency Creative. “We’re excited about taking their brand in new directions and expanding their footprint. ” Agency Creative is developing a go-to-market strategy and a new brand campaign for Kylito’s, including digital, social, in-store and other mediums. “It was evident that Agency Creative possessed the kind of packaged good expertise that we needed to deepen our penetration into our existing markets, grow our online footprint, and attract new consumers,” said Kylito’s principal Kyle Lancaster. “We’re very much looking forward to seeing our brand come to life in in 2022. ” Needless to say, we’re looking forward to telling Kylito’s brand story... - Published: 2021-10-27 - Modified: 2026-04-23 - URL: https://www.agencycreative.com/blog/navitrans-arrives-at-agency-creative/ Agency Creative is excited to announce our recent new account win of Navitrans.

But did you know it can actually save lives too? Yes. I’m serious. It happened with an advertising campaign we created for the YMCA. We launched a new membership campaign for the YMCA associations within Dallas/Fort Worth. Given all of the major fitness centers run advertising in early January, to stand out, we took a different approach of using kids to convince their parents to join the Y. Of course the kids were cute, but they also informed parents of all the great benefits of joining the Y from their perspective. The advertising campaign consisted of television, radio, outdoor, digital ads and landing pages. Audiences were asked to find their nearest YMCA branch and book an appointment to take a tour. One day, an EMT in uniform was taking a tour at one of the Arlington branches. As they were walking by the racquetball courts, a senior citizen YMCA member playing racquetball dropped to the floor from cardiac arrest. The visiting EMT then jumped into action and performed CPR on the member and was successful in getting the person breathing again. After the ambulance took the member to the hospital, a YMCA employee asked the EMT what had brought him in that day. And he responded, “the kids! ” So there you have it. Not only was the advertising campaign successful in generating 5,522 new members, but it actually saved a life. We haven’t been able to replicate it, but we haven’t given up. - Published: 2021-07-15 - Modified: 2026-04-23 - URL: https://www.agencycreative.com/blog/caregility-connected-with-agency-creative-to-grow-virtual-care/ Caregility, headquartered in New Jersey, has hired Agency Creative to grow awareness of their innovative telehealth technologies, including their award-winning virtual care platform and iObserver, a virtual patient observation and telesitting solution.

We thought we’d make that part easier by streamlining a few key considerations: Modernize your strategy A modern marketing strategy today is made up of many integrated solutions beyond just traditional advertising: programmatic advertising (connected TV & high-impact digital), display advertising, mobile marketing, online paid advertising, social advertising, digital geo-fencing, email marketing, content creation & development, and more. It can be tough to develop and implement a strategy by yourself. Enlisting the help of an expert marketing firm might be just what you need to make sure you have a well-thought-out strategic plan that will be properly executed. An experienced agency knows how to generate qualified leads which translate to sales. Optimize Your Time It often can be over-optimistic in believing it can all be done in-house. With a great marketing partner, you will accomplish even more. If you are an entrepreneur or a chief marketing officer, taking critical time out of your day to plan and implement all aspects of your marketing program can negatively impact your day-to-day business. That is where a partnership with an ad agency becomes essential. While you are busy with your daily operations, your expert advertising team will be working hard on a tailored marketing strategy and keeping you updated on performance once in market. No Employee Training Required When you hire an advertising agency you may eliminate the need to employ and train new employees who aren’t versed in your industry. Additionally, they may not be experts in all facets of marketing required. A seasoned agency will be ready to jump on your marketing strategy from the get-go while a new employee may... - Published: 2021-06-17 - Modified: 2026-04-23 - URL: https://www.agencycreative.com/blog/how-to-choose-an-advertising-agency/ Are you thinking about adding new services to your existing business, launching a new product, or considering a brand refresh? Maybe your business has outgrown your in-house marketing abilities and you need a helping hand to move your team forward? Are you thinking about adding new services to your existing business, launching a new product, or considering a brand refresh? Maybe your business has outgrown your in-house marketing abilities and you need a helping hand to move your team forward? There is no doubt that the reasons vary, but the decision to choose an advertising agency that's right for your company is vitally important. For starters, think of it like this, the ad agency you choose will work as an extension of your team. Your relationship and communication should be effortless, and they will have your best interests in mind during their decision-making process. Here are a few things to mull over when you are ready to choose an advertising agency: Industry Knowledge & Experience: There are two avenues to consider when you are surveying the knowledge and experience that an ad agency has with your industry. If you are looking for deep categorical knowledge, it’s important to find an agency that has experience in your industry. They will be familiar with your industries’ specific nooks and crannies – the tried and true, nitty gritty if you will. However, you may be looking for a fresh perspective that doesn’t come with any industry bias or limiting creative belief, which may be born from an agency who is a little greener in your particular market. This is when establishing good communication comes into play. Schedule a phone call or meeting to work out the specifics and determine if this is the team that will help move you forward. Agency Culture: Is the ad agency you are considering collaborative? Are they quick to jump on a project and think outside of the box? It’s been said that when you hire an ad agency you are forming a relationship. Making sure that the... - Published: 2021-06-04 - Modified: 2026-04-23 - URL: https://www.agencycreative.com/blog/agency-creative-elevates-bauhaus-with-new-ecommerce-website/ Agency Creative is excited to announce they are partnering with Bauhaus Interiors to develop strategic brand messaging and a new ecommerce website.

Agency Creative is excited to announce they are partnering with Bauhaus Interiors to develop strategic brand messaging and a new ecommerce website. Bauhaus Interiors specializes in furniture management and design, but what sets them apart is their digital construction platform, FalkBuilt, and their research arm, Doris. As more of the market shifts to offering online options, Bauhaus saw an opportunity for growth and reached out to Agency Creative. Agency Creative is working with Bauhaus Interiors to develop a messaging platform that differentiates them in the industry and sets up their new ecommerce website for success. “Whenever we get the opportunity to work with other creative people, it’s exciting,” said Mark Wyatt, Founder & CEO of Agency Creative. “We’re really looking forward to seeing how we can push our thinking outside the box and elevate the Bauhaus brand. ” Agency Creative has completed the brand immersion session and the brand positioning with Bauhaus, giving a solid foundation to begin developing the creative concepts for the new website. “We needed a company that was strong creatively but could also deliver on the technical side of a website build,” said Beth Wimmer, President of Bauhaus Interiors. “We’ve seen the work Agency Creative puts out, and we knew they were the ones who could deliver what we are looking for. ” The new ecommerce website will go live this summer, and we’re looking forward to seeing how we can help Bauhaus Interiors grow! - Published: 2021-04-22 - Modified: 2026-04-23 - URL: https://www.agencycreative.com/blog/how-much-does-it-cost-to-hire-an-ad-agency/ Are you feeling like you need a helping hand when it comes to strategic advertising? Jonesing for an optimization boost when it comes to creating and managing a thriving business plan? Hiring a dynamic and full-service advertising agency might be just the ticket. Are you feeling like you need a helping hand when it comes to strategic advertising? Jonesing for an optimization boost when it comes to creating and managing a thriving business plan? Hiring a dynamic and full-service advertising agency might be just the ticket. But first thing is first, how much will the services cost? Boiled down the answer is simple: it depends on your brand’s specific and individualized needs. There are a few important factors to consider before cost can be calculated. For example, are you looking for significant growth in a local market or are you expanding more moderately? Is your business offering its services to a new demographic or delving into a more complex and competitive geography? All of these unique specifications will impact the cost and final budget that the agency will present. All in all, this is why you will most likely never find an exact cost breakdown on an agency website; we need to know more about you in order to determine the specifics. It’s also important to note that when you reach out to an agency all aspects of your current business strategy will be considered, as well as all of the resources that you already have available to you in-house. For example, if you already have a thriving and optimized website, our efforts would most likely be focused on another area of improvement. Agency Creative believes that effective marketing is born from strong communication with each of our clients and a thorough discovery of their business’ needs.

Agency Creative is now developing an integrated product marketing campaign, including digital, social, trade show, and other media. “It was evident that Agency Creative possessed the kind of strategic thinking that we needed to effectively penetrate the US market, grow our online footprint, and attract new customers,” said Hauschild SpeedMixer owner Mareike Boccola. “We’re very much looking forward to seeing our brand come to life in new and ‘precise’ ways in 2021. ” Precisely!

Being a first-generation U. S. -born Latina comes with its own unique set of challenges. I had to teach myself a lot about the culture here – especially since I decided to take the route of going to college after high school – something that was very unconventional to me and my immigrant parents’ culture. I chose to study advertising because I have always loved anything that lets me be strategically creative. I also knew I wanted to include my heritage in whatever I did in life, so I also chose to receive a Spanish minor. Making that decision wasn’t about assimilating, but adding representation. I always knew my experience would never fully be traditional, and 2020 proved to be far from it. Post-grad life is the best example of it: graduating over Zoom because the world had shut down due to a pandemic, never really leaving the house, and staying six feet away from anyone not in my household. The most untraditional of circumstances, to say the least, but I remained hopeful. I hit the ground running in my job search, mostly because I knew I had to work twice as hard given the many economic changes that were oversaturating the market with job seekers. I was determined, but it also gave me peace of mind knowing I wasn’t alone. Thousands of recent grads, and I, were patiently waiting for the opportunity to get our foot in the door at the dream company we worked so hard for during unprecedented times. The interview process was stressful – there were so many qualified candidates, but I persevered. I knew I deserved this opportunity, and I was going to get it.

Agency Creative partnered with Stratus, formerly the Alliance Family of Companies, to develop and launch a new brand and a new neurology marketing plan for the company. Stratus is the nation’s leading provider of ambulatory in-home video EEG and has served more than 60,000 patients across the U. S. The company offers technology, services, and proprietary software solutions to help neurologists accurately and quickly diagnose their patients with epilepsy and other seizure-like disorders. Stratus also provides mobile cardiac telemetry to support the diagnostic testing needs of the neurology community. In gearing up for the neurology marketing launch, one of the company’s primary goals for marketing themselves as Stratus was to simplify the name and their brand look to help create more clarity for physicians and patients, as the company had grown and changed considerably since it began in sleep testing more than a decade ago. As part of the new brand launch, Agency Creative dove deep in developing a strong brand strategy and then created everything from a logo, website, brochure, videos to digital marketing. The new Stratus brand better represents who the company is today and supports their growth in cloud-based solutions, artificial intelligence and machine learning that benefits physicians as well as patients. Agency Creative felt this was a great opportunity to work with the Stratus Neuro team in promoting the company’s services to their various audience segments. “It has been an amazing experience for us to immerse ourselves in the powerful proposition that Stratus delivers,” said Scott Schindele, Account Director for Agency Creative. “We are very pleased with the new brand and are looking forward to seeing impactful results in 2021. ”   VISIT THE NEW STRATUS WEBSITE - Published: 2021-03-11 - Modified: 2026-04-23 - URL: https://www.agencycreative.com/blog/deadly-duo-covid-and-the-arctic-blast/ This will certainly be the winter we’ll never forget.

This will certainly be the winter we’ll never forget. Just when things were slightly improving with COVID-19, the arctic blast brought record low temperatures, major destruction, frightening automobile wrecks, water/power outages, residential fires, more closings and deaths. We all are asking ourselves, “how bad can it get? ” Our economy has been hit hard - affecting every Texan. Can marketing help in these troubling times? Yes. But the best way to get your name out there is by providing goodwill to others. Many of our citizens are experiencing very difficult times. Ask your employees how you can help those in need. Then allow them time off to volunteer in your local communities. There are so many needs - food, water, housing, blankets, heaters, home clean-up, diapers and more. Another option – does your business have products or services that can be donated to improve their lives right now? Doing some form of goodwill can bring joy to both your employees and those in need. We all need to express more love among others. To even show more support, consider producing custom t-shirts (long-sleeve of course) printed for your employees. This will bring more comradery among them. Back to marketing. How can you improve your company’s revenue? First, clearly identify your target audience and then break it down by gender, ethnicity, income, geography, etc. Once you better understand each sub-group of your target audience, brainstorm on ways your marketing can cost-effectively cross their paths. But you may first ask yourself, “what should my marketing budget be? ” There are a few ways to help determine a realistic marketing budget. One way is identifying a percentage of your company’s gross revenue. A good benchmark would be 5%. B2B companies may spend closer to 4%, while B2C companies may spend up to 10%... - Published: 2021-03-03 - Modified: 2026-04-23 - URL: https://www.agencycreative.com/blog/mccarty-weight-loss-brings-on-new-doctor-and-new-agency/ As a leading bariatric surgery and weight loss practice in Dallas, McCarty Weight Loss Center provides innovative procedures for patients from all over the world.

McCarty Weight Loss reached out to Agency Creative to enhance their website and develop digital marketing campaigns. “We were excited to hear from McCarty Weight Loss Center,” said Mike Scannell, Chief Digital Officer of Agency Creative. “With our experience in the bariatric industry, we knew we could help them grow their digital marketing while also pivoting quickly to update their website. ” Developing and managing the digital bariatric marketing campaigns and continuing to grow the practice is where the Agency Creative team comes in. “We knew we needed an agency with experience in the industry, in addition to helping improve our brand awareness” said Crystal McCarty, Practice Manager of McCarty Weight Loss Center. “Agency Creative has been very flexible with our needs, and I’m excited to see where this partnership takes us going forward” We’re looking forward to jumping back into the bariatric industry and developing this new partnership. - Published: 2021-01-26 - Modified: 2026-07-02 - URL: https://www.agencycreative.com/blog/grumpy-old-men-and-newer-technology/ How Did this Happen? I am the father of three and have a degree in Computer Science from the University of Texas at Austin. I have worked on telephony systems, relational database technologies, built integrated telemarketing systems and been responsible for multimillion dollar businesses information technology platforms. Yet, I am baffled by things today that are acceptable to the average computer user. For example, maybe it’s a generation thing, but I would never let my computer store my password in a keychain. I just wouldn’t do it. When I would work on large systems, the simple pieces were always given to the new guys and the fun, more complex pieces we kept for ourselves. Specifically, the login and password concepts were given to the guys right out of school. It didn’t mean we didn’t care about them; we just didn’t care about them a lot. So, we would roast the new guys for their bugs and give ourselves a small amount of leeway. Now, I get roasted by my kids for not saving my passwords on the computer so they can login to the food delivery services and order food whenever they want! I hear, “Dad, why isn’t you credit card stored in DoorDash? ” Because if it was, you would spend $100/day on food. Not to mention if DoorDash gets hacked, my credit card information would then be available to the highest bidder on this famous “dark web” we are hearing so much about. This usually gets responded to with an eyeroll and a delivery driver ringing my doorbell 15 minutes later. I know if I’m so worried about exposure to the dark web, I can join a service that will spend up to $100,000 on attorneys to help me get out from underneath a major hack.

In the past, the top Google searches have been “educational”, in a sense, but for entertainment purposes. 2019 saw a lot of searches in sports for the Women’s World Cup and Copa America. There were searches for celebrities in music and movies, the latest fashion trends, and “farmhouse style” homes. People wanted to know where they should go for vacation, but specifically, where is Area 51? The top news searches of 2019 were tracking Hurricane Dorian, how to make donations to the Notre Dame Cathedral, and, seriously, when was the Area 51 raid happening (and were they going to stream it? ) 2020 was the year of “why”, according to the Google’s Year in Search video. People were trying to understand what the Corona virus was and why it was affecting the stock of toilet paper at every store. The top searched celebrity was Tom Hanks because people were concerned about his well-being when he announced he tested positive for COVID-19. Instead of the normal beauty trend searches, people needed to know how to cut hair at home and even how to properly wash their hands. Gone are the vanity searches about surface level information, and in is finding ways to help others. Everything from virtual field trips, to unemployment resources, and how to donate blood, the way people are searching, and what they’re searching for, has officially changed. How relevant are these trends to marketing? Enter: blogs. Blogs are often strategically used as a way to bridge two items: what people find interesting (trends, relevant news, lifestyle) and how a business’s product or service can relate to that.

Colgin is well known for their line of flavorful liquid smoke products as well as Chigarid, a consumer product with medication that stops itching and pain associated with chigger and other insect bites. Colgin tasked Agency Creative with building their Liquid Smoke and Chigarid brands and driving consumers to shop for their products online. Ensuring that these brands stand out in the “sea of sameness” in their respective categories is job one. “The most exciting thing about partnering with Colgin is that their brands have a true point of difference in their formulation,” said Mark Wyatt, Founder & CEO of Agency Creative. “It will be our job to effectively tell those brand stories to our consumer audiences. ” Since the partnership began, we’ve already put the Colgin team through our Chemistry process and we are currently developing the brand positioning.

Pruett’s Food is an independent grocery in Oklahoma with 10 stores. In less than a year we launched an online-shopping campaign and now have launched a full branding campaign for the brand. The new campaign humorously features Pruett's Food as the food geeks that they are: fresh food experts and their “ProFreshional” staff. The campaign consists of a series of 12 Connected TV spots that will run over the next 12 months – with digital tactics to support the campaigns consisting of display ads, social media ads, and emails that all point to unique landing pages. These campaigns play on all the factors that make Pruett’s Food a local favorite. The TV spots are geo-targeted around each store location with a layer of behavioral targeting that hones in on the desired Pruett’s Food shopper. This ensured we maximized the ad spend. Since launching the initial online shopping campaign, we have seen website traffic increase by 386% (January 2020 – July 2020), and since the launch of the initial TV campaign in November, we have seen over 6,000 visits to the Rockin’ Holiday Ham recipe page, with an equivalent number of visitors to the shop online pages. Check out these first two spots of the campaign: The campaigns will continue to rotate every 4-6 weeks.

This pandemic will forever change the way healthcare is administered to patients, and more. Consumers are trying to get back to their pre-COVID lives. Their consumption of advertising has increased. Companies also have slowly attempted to get back to marketing and branding their products and services. The longer businesses continue to be “in the dark” with their advertising, the more their top-of-mind consumer awareness will erode. Then trying to rebuild that awareness will require a much larger effort and budget. We are also seeing companies are more cautious with their marketing budgets. With smaller budgets, they are needing to be much smarter and more agile to identify solutions in generating new customers. Your marketing partner will also need to do the same. Digital marketing is the fastest and most cost-effective way to get back out into the market. Here are a few ways to keep your brand top-of-mind. Email marketing: If you have an email database, use this to update patients of your COVID-19 safety measures in addition to your services. To track effectiveness, consider providing a CTA (call-to-action) directing them to a landing page. Social media advertising: Using Facebook and Instagram, perform targeted consumer advertising to maintain awareness of your company. Design animated ads to draw their attention. Digital marketing: The two most important forms of digital marketing are geo-targeted display ads in addition to retargeting display ads. The retargeting ads are used to remind the user of your brand following their visit to your website. Advanced TV: This is a very cost-effective form of advertising on streaming TV, subscription video on-demand and over-the-top devices. The ads are served via smart TV apps, gaming consoles such as Apple TV, Roku and Amazon Fire TV. Video on-demand programs include Hulu,... ## Job Openings - Published: 2026-05-21 - Modified: 2026-05-21 - URL: https://www.agencycreative.com/careers/summer-art-director-intern/ We believe the Summer Art Director Intern will bring fresh creative perspectives designed to resonate with audiences while learning practical industry skills.

What it didn’t have was a brand presence as strong as the experience itself. In a category dominated by national chains with massive budgets, Liberty Burger wasn’t losing on quality. It was losing on clarity. The client initially came to us with a specific goal: build and launch a “Burger Journey” promotion designed to drive traffic through limited-time burger features. The instinct was right. But the order was wrong. Before launching a promotional campaign, Liberty Burger needed something more fundamental—a clearly defined brand positioning and a codified voice that could carry that promotion with consistency and impact. Our subsequent mission was to properly define the Liberty Burger brand. Sharply, confidently, and in a way that could compete, connect, and convert. Without that foundation, any promotion would simply add noise. With it, the Burger Journey could become something much bigger than a discount strategy—it could become a brand-building growth platform. Strategy We started by uncovering what made Liberty Burger unmistakably Liberty Burger. Through brand immersion and strategic development, we defined a voice that was witty, confident, and effortlessly likable—the “Ryan Reynolds” of burger joints. This wasn’t manufactured personality. It was already there. It just needed to be unleashed. Initially, we brought that personality to life through a unified brand campaign that balanced craftsmanship, humor, and local pride. Launched through social, in-store and OOH, we amplified Liberty Burger’s brand voice in an undeniably powerful manner. This critical step paved the way for the next phase: the creation of a six month “Burger Journey” promotion designed to highlight unique burger masterpieces, one burger at a time. This Journey literally put Liberty Burger on the map in consumer’s minds, while simultaneously creating a scalable framework for ongoing... - Published: 2026-03-06 - Modified: 2026-05-18 - URL: https://www.agencycreative.com/creative-marketing-agency/ideal-dental/ Opportunity Ideal Dental had the scale many PE-backed healthcare platforms target - 161 locations nationwide with strong density in high-growth markets like Dallas/Fort Worth - but that scale introduced complexity.

The challenge wasn’t just increasing booked appointments. It was doing so efficiently and consistently, improving capacity utilization, maximizing provider output, and driving EBITDA expansion across the portfolio. Baseline performance made the opportunity clear: high blended CAC, wide location-level variance, and limited insight into which channels, markets, and patient segments were driving value. Ideal Dental didn’t need more marketing. It needed a connected, scalable system that could align acquisition with capacity, improve unit economics, and turn growth into a predictable driver of EBITDA and enterprise value. Strategy We built a centralized strategy with localized execution - designed to function as a capital allocation engine across the portfolio. At the core was the measurement infrastructure: a unified attribution model that connected media spend to appointments, care plan acceptance, and contribution margin. This created visibility into CAC by location and channel, and enabled disciplined budget allocation. Around that time, we deployed a coordinated multi-channel mix, including Paid Social, Programmatic Display, SEM, SEO, SMS, email, direct mail, and localized media, engaging patients across the full funnel. Campaigns were continuously optimized by reallocating spend toward the highest-performing channels and markets, refining SEM efficiency, expanding remarketing efforts, and aligning investment with demand cycles. Importantly, optimization focused on value - not just volume - shifting demand toward higher-margin services and improving care plan acceptance to increase revenue per patient. In parallel, we developed a repeatable De Novo playbook - combining pre-opening demand generation, hyper-local targeting, and... - Published: 2026-03-06 - Modified: 2026-05-18 - URL: https://www.agencycreative.com/creative-marketing-agency/aeg-vision/ Opportunity AEG Vision had the scale most PE-backed healthcare platforms aspire to - 500+ locations across 200+ markets and 125 independent brands - but that scale introduced a capital allocation challenge. Each practice operated with its own identity, local market dynamics, and patient base, making portfolio-level performance visibility nearly impossible. The challenge wasn’t just driving new patient acquisition. It was doing so consistently, at a defensible cost per profitable patient, across hundreds of unique market environments - and proving the return to operating partners. Marketing efforts across markets lacked attribution infrastructure, measurement consistency, and the portfolio-level visibility required to diagnose CAC variance by location. Some locations were generating strong patient yield; others were absorbing media budget without producing commensurate EBITDA contribution - with no unified system to identify or correct the gap. AEG didn’t need more marketing spend. It needed a connected, scalable infrastructure that could connect every media dollar to location-level production outcomes - balancing portfolio-level CAC efficiency with the local market nuance that drives patient acquisition in a 200+ market footprint. Strategy We built a centralized strategy combined with a localized execution model designed to perform at PE-backed platform scale — where marketing must function as a capital allocation decision, not just a campaign calendar. At the core was a unified framework for planning, measurement, and optimization — ensuring that every dollar of media spend was connected to location-level patient-acquisition outcomes. Around that time, we deployed a full-funnel media mix, including CTV, Programmatic Display, Social, and Google Performance Max, reaching patients at every stage of the decision journey and building the attribution infrastructure to demonstrate what was working. Campaigns were optimized at the market and practice level based on demand signals, competitive density, and capacity utilization — with budget reallocated in real time toward the highest-yield locations. Creative... - Published: 2026-03-06 - Modified: 2026-05-18 - URL: https://www.agencycreative.com/creative-marketing-agency/argent/ Opportunity Argent Financial Group had the fundamentals every strong platform company needs - deep expertise, high client retention, and a differentiated service model rooted in trust. But much of that value was under-leveraged from a growth perspective. New business was driven primarily through attorney referrals, yet brand awareness in key markets remained limited. Outside of existing relationships, Argent lacked consistent visibility at the moments that influence referral decisions. The challenge wasn’t demand generation in the traditional sense. It was creating a repeatable, scalable way to influence the right audience - while maintaining the firm’s high-touch, relationship-driven model. Argent didn’t need more activity. It needed a disciplined growth strategy that could improve market visibility, drive efficiency, and scale performance across markets. Strategy We built a targeted, awareness-first growth strategy centered on Argent’s highest-value audience: attorneys. At the foundation was a clear positioning platform - Ingenuity Rooted in Genuine Partnership - designed to differentiate Argent while aligning with how the business actually delivers value. From there, we implemented a scalable, data-driven media framework leveraging programmatic display, native, and social retargeting - ensuring consistent, high-frequency exposure within defined attorney audiences across markets. Campaign execution was built for repeatability and optimization, with a centralized strategy guiding performance and market-level execution driving relevance. Creative and landing experiences were designed to reinforce credibility and trust, supporting long-term consideration rather than short-term conversion. The result was a system where targeting precision, message consistency, and ongoing optimization worked together to drive efficient, scalable growth. Impact The result was a scalable marketing engine that improved visibility, efficiency, and performance across targeted markets. Delivered 35+ million impressions and reached 1. 5+ million targeted individuals, establishing consistent exposure among high-value referral audiences Generated 200,000+ clicks with a 0. 57% CTR, significantly outperforming financial services benchmarks Achieved 140,000+ landing page visits at... - Published: 2026-03-06 - Modified: 2026-05-18 - URL: https://www.agencycreative.com/creative-marketing-agency/cain-watters/ Opportunity Cain Watters & Associates (CWA) had something most financial firms don’t: unmatched visibility into the performance of thousands of dental practices. Through its annual "How Does Your Practice Compare? " report, along with specialty-specific Orthodontic and Pediatric reports, CWA delivers in-depth financial benchmarks across collections, overhead, staffing, and profitability. But the scale of data didn’t automatically translate to impact. While the reports were valuable, engagement trends had shown declining downloads, signaling that the way the story was being told wasn’t keeping pace with audience expectations. At the same time, the inclusion of multiple specialty reports added complexity. Each audience had distinct needs, but CPA marketing efforts needed to remain cohesive, efficient, and scalable. CWA didn’t need more content. It needed a unified approach to turn complex financial data into clear, compelling insights, driving engagement across multiple audiences. Strategy We built a scalable Financial Planner and CPA marketing campaign framework that unified three distinct reports under a single, insight-driven approach - while tailoring execution to each audience. 
 At the core was a shift from report-centric marketing to insight-led storytelling. Instead of leading with explanations, campaigns surfaced clear, “hard-hitting” data points and questions that immediately resonated with practice owners. For the flagship "How Does Your Practice Compare? " report, messaging positioned benchmarking as a diagnostic tool - helping dentists quickly identify gaps in performance and opportunities to improve. For the specialty campaigns, we extended this framework with audience-specific positioning: Orthodontic Campaign: Adapted messaging to reflect the unique financial dynamics and performance drivers of orthodontic practices, ensuring insights felt directly relevant to that specialty. Pediatric Campaign: Tailored the approach to align with the operational and growth considerations specific to pediatric practices, making the data more relatable and actionable for that audience. Across all campaigns, we built a unified system for communicating... - Published: 2026-03-06 - Modified: 2026-05-18 - URL: https://www.agencycreative.com/creative-marketing-agency/dfw-hospital-council-foundation/ Opportunity Clostridium difficile (C-diff) is a serious and often preventable infection linked to more than 20,000 deaths annually in the U. S. When the DFW Hospital Council Foundation secured a federal contract to address the issue, the mandate was clear: educate North Texas consumers, physicians, and healthcare workers on prevention. But awareness alone wasn’t the barrier. The real challenge was behavior. Preventing the spread of C-diff depended on consistent, everyday actions—yet public health messaging around infection control is often complex, clinical, and easy to ignore. Reaching a broad, mixed audience with varying levels of medical knowledge required more than education. It required clarity, simplicity, and immediate relevance. The goal wasn’t just to inform—it was to drive widespread, measurable behavior change across the community. Strategy We built a campaign around a single, high-impact behavior: washing hands with soap after using the bathroom. Rather than overwhelming audiences with multiple prevention tactics, we distilled the message down to its most essential and actionable form. This clarity became the foundation of a fully integrated awareness campaign designed for scale and consistency. A unified message was deployed across channels to ensure repetition, recognition, and recall—reaching consumers, healthcare professionals, and community stakeholders alike. Creative execution focused on making the behavior simple, memorable, and easy to adopt in everyday life. By aligning message, media, and audience around one clear action, the campaign removed friction and made participation intuitive—turning a complex health issue into something anyone could help prevent. Impact The campaign delivered measurable awareness and behavior change across the DFW community: 60% increase in C-diff awareness 76% of campaign viewers reported changing their behavior, specifically washing hands with soap after using the bathroom Nearly 8 million impressions generated in just two months Most importantly, the campaign successfully translated awareness into action—demonstrating that large-scale public health initiatives can... - Published: 2026-03-06 - Modified: 2026-05-18 - URL: https://www.agencycreative.com/creative-marketing-agency/amax/ Opportunity A-MAX Auto Insurance had built meaningful scale - expanding rapidly across Texas with a clear mandate to increase revenue, grow its location footprint, and prepare for expansion into new markets. But as the platform grew, marketing performance became increasingly difficult to manage at scale. Each market operated with different competitive dynamics, customer profiles, and revenue potential. The core audience - primarily Hispanic and African American, working-class, credit-challenged consumers - required a highly localized, trust-based approach that traditional mass marketing couldn’t deliver effectively. At the same time, marketing lacked the infrastructure required to operate as a true growth lever. Investment decisions were made at the channel level rather than the market level, attribution was limited by third-party systems, and there was no clear visibility into which locations were driving value versus absorbing capital. A-MAX didn’t need more campaigns. It needed a scalable system - one that could connect marketing investment to customer acquisition, improve efficiency, and support disciplined growth across the entire platform. Strategy We built a performance-driven marketing system designed to function as a true business unit - aligning acquisition strategy with financial outcomes. At the foundation was a full-funnel acquisition model spanning paid search, programmatic display, paid social, SEO, and localized traditional channels - ensuring coverage across both high-intent demand and awareness-building touchpoints. Digital channels were optimized around intent, conversion, and efficiency - leveraging in-market targeting, geo-fencing, retargeting, and CRO to improve acquisition quality and reduce wasted spend. In parallel, we deployed hyper-local execution strategies tailored to each market - activating media in neighborhood environments and delivering culturally relevant, Spanish-language messaging to strengthen trust and conversion within core communities. To elevate marketing from activity to accountability, we implemented foundational capabilities aligned with corporate expectations: Measurement infrastructure to track performance across channels and locations Portfolio-level strategy to guide capital...
