Most marketing doesn’t fail because of effort, it fails because of order. Teams jump into tactics before the foundation is clear. Or they build a brand, then struggle to keep marketing moving. We do both, just in the right sequence.
WHY MOST MARKETING FALLS SHORT
It’s not a marketing problem. It’s a foundation problem.
When positioning is unclear, messaging is inconsistent, and strategy is fuzzy, even good marketing struggles to perform. That’s when teams start: chasing tactics, juggling vendors, reworking the same things over and over. More activity doesn’t fix it. A better system does.
OUR APPROACH
Build the foundation.
Then build momentum.
Great marketing starts with clarity and grows with consistency. Our model is built around two phases that work together:
Goal:
Define who you are, how you win, and how your brand shows up.
What we do:
- Strategy + research
- Positioning + messaging
- Brand identity + design system
- Website + core assets
Outcome:
A clear, cohesive brand built to support real growth.
Goal:
Turn that foundation into consistent, coordinated marketing.
What we do:
- Campaign planning + execution
- Content + creative production
- Digital marketing + optimization
- Reporting + ongoing refinement
Outcome:
Marketing that runs, improves, and compounds over time.
Some clients start with the foundation. Others are ready to build momentum right away. Either way, we meet you where you are, and build from there.
WHY IT WORKS
A better alternative to patchwork marketing
After 30+ years in the trenches, we’ve seen just about every way marketing can go sideways.
- Too many vendors.
- No clear strategy.
- Great ideas that never get executed.
- Or constant activity with nothing really moving forward.
That’s exactly why we built our model the way we did. Not because it sounds good, but because it works.
Strategy, creative, and execution working together
One team, aligned to your goals
Consistent momentum instead of stop-and-start
Clear accountability and measurable progress
Less managing. More moving forward
Hot takes from happy clients
That’s what they said
When I stepped into the CEO role, I was inheriting three additional brands within our company that were honestly a little foreign to me. Each had different values, methods, and identities. We didn’t look or feel like one company, to our clients or to our employee-owners. We knew the inconsistent branding was costing us opportunities, but we didn’t fully grasp how big the problem was. What started as a project about logos on buildings, vans, hats, shirts, and sponsorship banners quickly became something much bigger.
Garret Travers
CEO, The Superior Group
I partnered with Outmark when my AI consulting firm, DigBI Consulting, needed a strategic rebrand. They invested the time to truly understand our business and delivered a smart, cohesive marketing strategy—including the tagline that now defines us: “Insights for all. Results for good.” Outmark helped reimagine our logo and website, and the entire experience was seamless. They truly brought our business to a new level that I could not have done by myself. The team was professional, creative, and genuinely FUN to work with—always communicative and excellent thought partners.
Lee Derks
CEO, DigBI Consulting
I couldn’t be more thrilled with the work. This will help take us to a whole new level.
Chris Massetti
President, Donwil
Working with Outmark is a blast. With fresh design, playful copy, and senior-level know-how, they’re always pushing the creative envelope to help us break through the noise and get noticed.
James Beale
Managing Partner, NGS Films and Graphics
Outsource Marketing helped take our credit union to a new level. They updated our branch to create a warm, inviting and quirky feel, modernized our website to reflect our fun personality, and has helped us find new ways to connect with our members and the community. They also help us create our annual marketing plan and keep us on track and on budget. We love them for that!
Brandy Fielding
CEO, White River Credit Union
Everybody at OM is great to work with. Patient, understanding and fun. I would adopt everyone if I could and if they did not eat so much.
Mark Jordan
Partner, Bracepoint Law
FUN! The whole process was a blast from start to finish. The team at Outmark does several things really well, but at their core they have the ability to take your input, digest it, and then bring back ideas that incorporate your thoughts with elements of design, strategy, timing, and efficiency (along with countless others). Their process lets the image you want to portray to your customers occupy a space that is unique to you, but at the same time is presented as polished, professional, and deliberate.
Rich Byers
Partner, Carlisle Byers + Casey
As a technology company, it’s difficult to differentiate. Outmark not only helped refine our messaging, they helped us define our company culture, and communicate it to our constituents in a way that drives the behavior we wanted. We couldn’t be happier with the results.
Jim Brull
Managing Partner, Centroid
This has been a worthwhile investment. We are thrilled with the results and could not have done it without Outmark’s talent.
Kindra Benavidez
President, Vivid Co.
When our 60-year old association was ready to change not only its look/logo, but also our focus from an American association to an international association, we turned to Outsource Marketing to guide us through the process. The team at Outsource Marketing dug deep, gathering insight from board members, association members, our staff, and the field at large to capture what we are all about and they nailed it! We are so pleased not only with the final product but the process, which was exciting and empowering.
Kari Sisson
President, ACRC
My favorite thing about working with Outmark is definitely the people! They are a group of fun and friendly professionals who are also organized and knowledgeable. Outmark helped us to track actionable data across multiple platforms, which we’d been struggling with for years. Outmark also helped us gain visibility into and make sense of that data. Now we have actionable data to know what’s working and what’s not, and strategies for how we can improve.
Wendy Wheeler
Chief Operating Officer, Floracopeia
Outsource Marketing saved us time and money. Period. I spent 18 months looking for the right Marketing Director; interviewing countless candidates. No one single person could handle our needs. And the reality is we didn’t need one person, we needed a whole team. Once we went through the onboarding process it became crystal clear the Outsource Marketing team was our perfect fit. Our brand has been elevated online and most importantly in our retail centers. Our franchise owners are loving our account manager and the creative and consistent designs of our new promotional material. With Outsource Marketing we finally found the solution I had spent many years looking for.
Aaron Culver
CEO, Thrive Community Fitness
As a start-up company, we were good at manufacturing but had no experience with building a front-end web business so we looked to Outmark for help. Their fantastic team of copywriters, graphic designers, and web designers helped build a website (and other associated other content) which elegantly represents who we are, what we do, and why we do it.
