Hire a Marketing Leader

Inner Architect Media LLC is led by a team of marketing and sales executives with decades of experience in the science and psychology of marketing. We are celebrating our 15-year anniversary in business in 2023. We have worked with companies as big as the New York Times to solo entrepreneurs and first-time business owners. Inner Architect Media brings you smart, seasoned professionals without the costs of a large agency.

We bring a personalized approach to our clients. We recognize that every business is different, and that every business has different needs. We don’t operate from a rate card of services. Instead, we ask you questions, listen to your answers, and evaluate your goals. We identify elements already in place, and from there, we outline further strategies we can implement to positively impact your marketing program. Together we agree on the best plan to achieve your goals. Communication and transparency is key every step of the way.

Mission

Maximize the growth of each client’s business through best practices in management, smart strategies, and the use of data analysis for discovery and interpretation. By consistently performing at a high level and transparently sharing our work, we strive to bring peace of mind to each client. You are great at what you do; let us take the responsibility of growing your business. Generating new revenue for clients like you fosters the building of a strong, trust-based long-term client relationship.

Values

We strive to make a big impact with every client. We make a difference by delivering outstanding results produced by the highest quality work possible. We do this by incorporating unwavering best-practices standards and leading-edge marketing strategies. We began as early adopters who launched a social media agency we named Inner Architect in 2008. We were pioneers back then, a mindset that has never left us. We are always keeping an eye on the next generation of marketing opportunities and best practices.

Vision

We have seen our vision evolve since our beginning and that will continue. Our vision now is to help every client increase their revenue, enabling them to scale their talent base and ultimately grow their business. But that isn’t our vision in its entirety. Many of our clients’ work involves helping individuals and families, protecting people from wrongdoing, providing counsel, and securing financial security for those in need. Our clients’ work thus becomes our vision as well.

What We Do

We are a Google Partner Agency, meaning our PPC strategists are Google certified. While law firm marketing is a key specialty, we also serve clients in financial services, travel, medical, educational, and home improvement niches.

Our core services are PPC, SEO and content marketing. We recognize that our work is being impacted greatly by the advancement of artificial intelligence (AI), which we are incorporating into our work.

Transparency, it’s what we do. We keep our clients informed in every step of the marketing process. We want clients to fully understand how we work, and we want to provide clients, who so desire, the opportunity to learn about marketing strategies. Give a hungry man a fish, you feed him for a day, but if you teach him how to fish, you feed him for a lifetime. We are in this together!

How Will You Help My Business?

Our success is accomplished through a careful process that begins with you. Our first step is to sit down with you and identify your goals for your marketing program. Although this seems like a simple process, in many instances we’re able to uncover additional goals that should be considered of value. Once we discover all your company’s desired goals, together we begin to create a plan by:

Reviewing your history of marketing strategies to uncover what works and what does not work.
Identifying your budget and determining a comfortable level of investment.
Evaluating the process(s) that your company utilizes for all marketing efforts.
Identifying the processes that work and reconfiguring or eliminating processes that do not work.
Gaining an understanding of the data you gather from your marketing efforts.
Reviewing your customer relationship management (CRM) process to determine if you are leveraging marketing data to maximize your ROI.
Recommend the most effective strategies and processes to achieve your goals and stay within your budget.

Energize Your Business

We specialize in personalized strategies for our clients. We bring you smart people with decades of experience without the costs of a large agency. Our strength is generating new revenue for clients like you. We’re confident that we can help you grow your business.
