RISE Marketing
You started a business, not a marketing department.
You're great at what you do. But marketing keeps landing on your plate after a full day, and the times you've handed it off, you got vague reports and a long contract.
RISE Marketing is a senior marketer working directly on your business. We learn who your best customers are, write and publish content in your voice where they already spend time, build websites that turn visitors into booked appointments, and report every month on what's turning into calls, bookings, and new customers. Month-to-month, no long contract.
If any of this sounds familiar, you're in the right place.
- "I'm doing marketing at 10pm, after everything else."
- "We post, and nothing happens."
- "I paid an agency once and got reports, not customers."
- "Referrals used to be enough. Now new patients are flat."
- "Our competitor is suddenly everywhere."
- "Why is this month so slow?"
You don't need more posts. You need a plan that turns the right attention into booked appointments.
Most marketing fails before the first post goes out.
Posting more won't fix it. Marketing that brings in customers comes down to three things, in this order.
-
1
Understand your ideal customer
We talk to your best customers, the ones you'd clone if you could. What was going wrong before they found you? What almost stopped them from buying? What words do they use to describe it? Then your website, posts, and offers say it back to them.
-
2
Reach them where they already are
Online and around town: Google, Facebook, local groups, community events, and referral partners your customers already trust. We focus on the few places that matter instead of trying to be everywhere.

Show up when they're ready to buy
Most people aren't buying today. We find the moments that make someone go looking for a business like yours, and make sure you're the one they think of then. Follow-up keeps you in front of the people who aren't ready yet.
Your website should book appointments, not just look nice.
Most of your marketing ends up on your website. If visitors can't quickly tell why you're the right choice and how to book, all that attention leaks away. Chris has helped many businesses build websites that turn visitors into customers.
Websites are an additional cost, separate from the monthly plans. Price depends on what you want, and we'll quote it on your call.
Talk through your website- Why you, in seconds. A clear headline in your customers' words, not a list of services.
- Easy to book. A call or booking button on every screen, especially on phones.
- Proof where people decide. Reviews, results, and real photos next to the decision points.
- Fast and found. Quick to load, mobile-friendly, and set up so people searching nearby can find you.
- You can see what works. Tracking that shows which visitors call, book, or fill out a form.
How we start
No pitch deck and no long contract. You see our thinking before you spend a dollar.
-
Conversation30 minutes, free
We talk through your goals, your best customers, and what's worked or failed before.
What you get: where your marketing is leaking, what to fix first, and which plan fits, if any.
-
TeardownFree, optional
Not ready to talk yet? Send your website or LinkedIn page and I'll reply with three specific things I'd change and why.
What you get: honest feedback you can use even if we never work together.
-
Month oneStrategy and quick wins
We interview your customers and build the plan: who to reach, what to say, where to show up, and when. Then we fix the obvious gaps first.
What you get: a written plan and visible work within the first month.
-
Every month afterExecution and reporting
We run the plan with you and report what's driving calls, bookings, and sales, in plain language.
What you get: marketing off your plate, and a plain answer every month on what's working and what isn't.
Burned by an agency before? That's exactly why we work this way.
Month-to-month
No long-term contract. If it isn't working, you can walk away.
You work with Chris directly
Not a junior account manager you'll never meet.
We measure customers, not likes
Every report ties back to calls, bookings, and revenue.
Chris's past results, in-house
- 500%+Social reach growth at multiple companies, which brought in more inquiries
- 50%More website traffic at its peak, with more of it turning into qualified sales calls
- $2M+In qualified sales leads in a quarter
These came from full-time roles inside established companies. Your market, budget, and starting point are different, so treat these as proof of how Chris works, not a forecast for your business.
Think about what a typical customer spends with you over time, not just on day one.

Why talk to Chris before you hire anyone
- You talk to the person doing the work. Not a salesperson handing you off to a junior account manager.
- You leave with something useful either way. Where your marketing is leaking and what to fix first, whether or not we work together.
- You get a straight answer on fit. If we're not the right partner, or you don't need the bigger plan, I'll say so.
- Waiting has a cost. Every month without a clear plan is a month your best customers hear from someone else first.
What we cover in 30 minutes
- Your best customers. Who they are, how they find you today, and what makes them buy.
- Where it's leaking. The gaps in your message, channels, or follow-up that cost you calls and bookings.
- What we'd do first. A clear next step, and which plan fits, if any.
Free. 30 minutes. No pitch deck.
Questions business owners ask first
Do you work with businesses like mine?
Mostly local businesses that serve consumers, like dental practices, orthodontists, chiropractors, med spas, and home service companies, that want a steadier flow of new patients and customers. We also work with B2B companies that need a stronger go-to-market plan. If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you on the first call.
Can you build or fix our website?
Yes. Chris has helped many businesses build websites that turn visitors into customers. Websites are an additional cost, separate from the monthly plans. Price depends on what you want, so we'll quote it on your call.
What's the difference between the plans?
Starter gets you found and trusted: your Google profile, reviews, and steady posts. Growth adds more posting, short videos, and replies to comments and messages. Partner adds ads management, an email newsletter, and small website updates each month. Every plan includes customer interviews, content in your voice, and a monthly report on calls, bookings, and new customers.
How much does it cost?
It depends on your business and which plan fits, so we share pricing on a free 30-minute call. Every plan is month-to-month, and prepaying 6+ months saves you money. If a smaller plan or the one-time Local Launch is enough, I'll tell you.
How soon will I see results?
You'll see a written plan and real work within the first 30 days. Growth in customers takes longer and depends on your market, so we'll set honest expectations on our first call instead of promising a number.
I've been burned by an agency before. Why is this different?
No long contract, you work with Chris directly, and every report is about customers and revenue, not impressions. You also see our thinking for free before you commit to anything.
How much of my time will this take?
A strategy call each month on Growth (quarterly on Starter, weekly on Partner), plus a short customer-interview kickoff and quick approvals on content. The point is to take marketing off your plate, not add to it.
Can I cancel?
Yes. Every plan is month-to-month. Payments already made aren't refunded, so cancel before your next billing date if you decide it's not for you.
Get marketing off your plate, and know what it's actually doing.
Start with a 30-minute call. You'll leave knowing where your marketing is leaking and what to fix first, whether or not we work together.
