About Us

About Us

Full disclosure: I was fired twice for refusing to sell small business owners marketing that didn't work — so I built the agency I wish I'd had.

ORIGIN

I hired the same kind of “digital marketing company” you probably have now, got burned by broken promises, and taught myself SEO and Google Ads to save my own business.

MISSION

In 2019 I built the only personal digital marketing agency of record made exclusively for small business owners— not another Vivial, Thryv, or Hibu.

MOMENTUM

What started as 8 clients during a global shutdown has grown into a roster of small business owners across the country who finally have a real partner.

DON'T STEP ON THE SAME LANDMINES I DID WHEN I WAS WITH VIVIAL / THRYV

A Few Case Studies

  1. ART EVANS & SONS PAINTERS: ex-Vivial customer

    A former Vivial client since 2022 with a neglected website and no real online presence, we built their USP and positioned them as the leading painters in Oxford, Ohio. Today they’re the exclusive painting contractor for Miami University. [CLICK IMAGE TO VIEW LIVE SITE]

  2. HENSLEY LAW OFFICE: ex-Thryv client

    A Thryv customer whose account had been mismanaged for years, we moved the needle immediately after taking over. Jeff now trusts us enough to have hired Mader Marketing again — this time for AI Search Optimization for his law practice. [CLICK IMAGE TO VIEW LIVE SITE]

  3. OBERER CONSTRUCTION COMPANY: ex-Vivial customer

    A longtime, reputable family-owned masonry contractor in Cincinnati, burned for years by the Yellow Pages and Vivial. It took time to earn their trust — today they’re one of our closest and best client relationships. [CLICK IMAGE TO VIEW LIVE SITE]

  4. ROCKY FORD DISCOUNT TIRES: ex-Thryv customer

    A Thryv rescue in Rocky Ford, Colorado, whose strong local story had been ignored and mismanaged for years. We changed that — and they’ve since brought us on for AI Search Optimization as well. [CLICK IMAGE TO VIEW LIVE SITE]

  5. PRIORITY CRANE RENTALS: ex-Vivial customer

    A neglected Vivial client with an outdated website and image, until his life changed in an instant — Mitchel and his wife were in the crowd in Butler, PA, when a gunman attempted to assassinate President Trump, and his crane was the one that lifted the flag afterward. We rebuilt his website and brand to match the story now following him.  [CLICK IMAGE TO VIEW LIVE SITE]

  6. CENTRAL FLORIDA AWNINGS- ex-Thryv client

    Rescued from Vivial in 2022, we helped the owner drop the lead-generation program he was locked into with a large awning manufacturer. Within a year he was 100% independent on marketing and closed 2023 with $680,000 in gross profit. This client has led to us being the premier marketing vendor for SunPro Awnings and their new dealers.
