Marketing and Growth Services For Your Local Business

Let's Build Your Dream Business

Running a business should make your life better, not harder.

I help business owners align their marketing, operations, and technology. Not just to grow, but to get their time, margins and peace of mind back.

Success isn’t just leads or sales. It’s profit. It’s nights off. It’s a team you trust and a life you actually enjoy.

My role is simple: to be a reliable resource to you. To help you design a business that delivers the life you set out to build in the first place.

About Me

Focused on growth and purpose

I'm John Strong, and I’m passionate about helping owners grow businesses they actually enjoy running. I love setting clear goals, solving real problems, and seeing a solid plan come to life.

Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, time at the lake, and reading - mostly business, leadership, spirituality, and philosophy. I’m also a musician. I don’t play as much as I used to, but music has always been a big part of who I am.

Self-employment gives me the freedom to build a meaningful life, one that makes space for justice work and the people I care about. I enjoy being a part of others' stories of finding meaning and freedom in their business.

FAQS

What kinds of businesses do you typically work with?

I specialize in helping service-based businesses - especially in the trades - grow sustainably. If you're a local operator looking to improve your marketing, streamline operations, or improve your technology, we might be a great fit.

How are you different from a traditional marketing agency or coach?

I’m not here to sell cookie-cutter packages, and I don't offer out of the box packages. I act as a strategic partner - someone who understands your goals, helps you build a business you actually want to run, and works with you to make that happen, one clear step at a time.

Do you guarantee results?

I don’t guarantee quick wins or viral growth - I do commit to ensuring my clients are as educated as possible prior to making any investment whether money or time.

Can I keep working with my current marketing company?

Yes! If you're happy with your current provider, you can continue to utilize their services in line with the growth roadmap we define.

Do you work with startup businesses?

Yes! I help startup service businesses launch. This sometimes looks like a short term coaching engagement while the business matures to the point that my primary service offerings are helpful.

How much does it cost to work with you?

Every business is different, and I tailor my services to my clients specific needs. Pricing depends heavily on my client's scale and goals. Once a project is defined, a written and itemized proposal will be provided.
