Digital Marketing for growing Businesses

Marketing Tailored to Your Business

For the past decade, I have assisted small and mid-sized businesses in optimizing their digital marketing efforts without the hassle of agency bureaucracy or a one-size-fits-all approach. My experience spans strategy development, Google and Meta Ads, email marketing, copywriting, and just about everything in between.

Having worked with 30+ businesses and helped scale a small software startup, I understand the complexities of managing growing operations and teams. I have also begun building my own small team of versatile marketers here at AJKreates, offering a one-stop, personalized resource that can operate as an extension of your business. Our goal is to grow along side you.

Let’s build something great together.

Core Services

Digital Strategy

Most businesses we encounter have fragmented marketing efforts, wasted ad spend due to improper conversion tracking, no clear marketing plan, and/or simply don’t know where to start. We’ll help you narrow your focus, identify where your core customers are online, define a clear strategy, and launch on a firm, scalable foundation.

Google & Meta Ads

Google & Meta Ads are still two of the most effective ways to capture end-of-funnel sales and leads, but the landscape has changed in recent years. Automated campaigns & bid strategies have placed most of the control in these platforms’ hands, so our role is to ensure we’re feeding them the best data possible and providing high-quality assets to deliver more personalized ad experiences for your target audience.

Conversion tracking is also now more critical than ever in order to compete, but also to protect your budget from wasted spend. To help you get the most out of these platforms, we audit your website, competitors and audience data, then handle everything from strategy, account setup, ad copywriting, reporting, and ongoing optimization.

Email Marketing

Often, the easiest place to grow your revenue in the short-term is by investing in your existing customers and email lists. Through value-based newsletters and promotions, We help you stay in front of the people who already know you and keep them coming back over and over.

For targeting audiences who don’t yet know you, cold email outreach is still a great way to make a personable first impression right in someone’s inbox. We help you build out multi-step email flows that convert and grow your customer base.

Copywriting

Our small team has vast experience across many copywriting channels, including print media for magazines & newspapers, large scale automated email flows for marketing agencies, full website copy rewrites for scaling companies, contract & proposal writing for mobile app prototyping, social media, blogs and beyond.

The skills we’ve learned from these experiences allow us to better help our customers tell their stories, regardless of which medium we are writing for. As marketers, our end goal is always to improve your bottom line, but we believe this starts with honest storytelling and clear & effective communication. When done correctly, the rest usually follows.

how we work

1. Discovery

We start by getting to know you, your business, your customers and understand your existing marketing efforts. This will help us define how we can best support you, what story we are going to tell, and where we are going to target your customers online.

2. Strategy Development

Once we can see the full picture of your business, we then work together to select which handful of digital channels we are going to focus on first. This includes defining target CPAs, setting budgets for each platform, and outlining KPIs that we can measure against to determine what a successful campaign will look like for you.

Get Started

3. Launch & Optimize

Clicking “publish” is typically just the beginning for us. After your campaigns are live or your content is displayed for all to see, we then start digging into the data to find what is and isn’t working. We do this by delivering monthly reports, continually monitoring KPIs, and ongoing optimization to increase ROI and reduce CPAs.
