About this business

Company Overview: This full-service marketing and creative agency was established in 2010 and serves clients across the Midwest and several other U.S. markets. The company supports organizations that need strategy, branding, design, web, video, digital marketing, hosting, and content support. It has built its name over many years by helping clients solve business and message problems before moving into creative work. The company is not remote today, but the business is relocatable. It also owns its real estate, which may be available under separate deal terms.

Product & Customer Base: The company’s largest service line is marketing strategy, branding, and messaging, followed by design and production, web design and development, video, digital ads and social media support, hosting, and writing. Clients often come through referrals, past relationships, partner channels, and online search. The firm has had the most success with clients in fields such as health care, education, and economic development. Revenue has some client concentration, with the top five accounts making up a meaningful share of sales, but client tenure is strong and many accounts stay for years.

Operations & Team: The business runs with a small team of about six people. The owners still work full time, but the company has spent years moving work out of the owners’ hands and into the team. Staff members manage client relationships, lead meetings, prepare estimates, and run projects from start to finish. This spreads client knowledge across the company and lowers owner dependence. The team can handle most core work in-house, including strategy, branding, design, web, video, print, and campaigns. Outside partners are used when needed for added skill or capacity. The firm does not need special licenses, though some team members have useful software and marketing tool training. A buyer should understand marketing, branding, messaging, design, and basic web delivery, or keep staff who do.

Growth: The company is profitable, growing, and has built a steady base through long client relationships and repeat work. Project revenue can move from month to month, but retainer and contracted work help smooth results, and that portion has grown over the last several years. The business has grown with care, not with a heavy sales push, which leaves room for a buyer to scale it further. Growth paths include adding more retainer work, expanding digital ad services, growing customer management tool services, using white-label web partners, building on strong industry niches, and serving more clients outside its home region.

Transition: The owners are selling as part of a planned retirement and succession process while the company is performing well. They believe a careful handoff is important because client trust is a key part of the business. Both owners are willing to stay involved after closing, make client introductions, support the team, and help the buyer learn the company’s work, accounts, and process. One owner is willing to assist for up to two years, and the other for up to three years, subject to final deal terms and pay for ongoing work.
