take the time to learn a little more about his story.
I started Strategic Point Marketing (an advertising agency) in 2009 – 30 days before my wedding day. If you recall, in 2009 the ‘modern day depression’ was hurting all types of companies. The advertising agency that employed me for the previous 5 years was not immune to the market’s downturn.
As I got back to my apartment and my soon-to-be wife, I wasn’t sure what I was going to do. It was a tough conversation for the first 24 hrs.
I quickly realized that I had to either pick myself up and do something or just lie on my couch forever in pity. That is when it hit me. I was good at what I do!
In June of 2009 I started my advertising agency. Driving from city to city in a 1992 Toyota Celica that eventually blew the engine on the highway about 1 hr. south of Kansas City, I made my way across the country speaking at any event I could get into. I was teaching about marketing strategies – how to do it yourself, how to know who was taking advantage of you, and anything else I could think of to educate business owners.
In 2010, I drove to Chicago from Dallas. I didn’t have enough money to stay in a hotel, so I looked around everywhere and found one of those hotels that you can buy a half day rate (the-not-so-nice type). I checked in around 1am, slept for about 4 hours, took a shower and went to the conference where I was speaking that day. During the conference I was able to sign my first big account.
My whole life I have been the type of man that always did whatever I said. I understand and believe that my word is my bond. That is why I decided in 2014 not to do any more contracts. I felt like that is a dirty word and I realized that I didn’t want to keep anyone tied to my company if they were unhappy. This was a huge paradigm shift in my life and my company, but it has paid off in big ways!
There was a report published in 2018 which said the typical advertising agency keeps a client for an average of 18 months. I was blown away. I looked at my entire book of clients and realized at that moment that I was on the right track.
I started this company to give business owners an option to work without a long-term contract. I started doing engagement letters that only ask for a 45-day exit. I taught my team that we will ALWAYS do what we say we will do. I have refunded THOUSANDS of dollars to clients when my staff has not done what was promised. Then I saw the biggest shock that made me swell with pride in a sense of knowing all my hard work was paying off.
Businesses that engage Strategic Point Marketing stay with us for an average of 5 years or more!
The logic is simple. I believe that if we tell people what they need to do to be successful and they trust us with their marketing
we will complete that action and the clients’ business will reap the rewards.
The hardest thing to do as a business owner in your position is to trust ‘another marketing company.’ I get it. My hope is that through this website you will gain some knowledge as to what to look for when hiring a marketing company. Know what you should expect and then demand those expectations be met.
If you choose to engage ANY company that I own and you don’t feel like you are getting the service that you expect, you can call me, and I will do everything I can to ensure that you are taken care of!
