Stephen Parkhurst

Video Producer

I do my own stunts: Sitting in the same position for too long, staring at an edit until my eyes are bloodshot, making “just one more tweak” to a finished project. Do you also risk it all for perfection? Let’s be friends!

My Hot Take: Trains > Cars

Stephen has been shooting and editing video since high school way back in [redacted.] He’s created ads, series, docs and social videos for brands like Facebook, CNBC, Wired, Business Insider, Golf Digest, and others.

OUR APPROACH

Take a Marketing Shortcut

When you don’t have a big hammer, you need a sharper nail. Our tested true formula has helped brands of all sizes scale, from startups to Fortune 100 brands.  Ask about how we can apply this three-step marketing framework to your brand.

Step 1

Position Your Success

What is your story?

Your story is unique. Your products and services are distinct. But what good does it do if your customers don’t know about it?

We help you rise above the ordinary.

  • Who are you
  • What do you do
  • Why do you do it
  • How do you do it

Step 2

Find Your Aim

Who is your story for?

Many businesses waste ad dollars on the wrong customers. We help you give the right customers the right reason to buy.

  • Who are they
  • What makes them tick
  • Why should they care
  • How do they choose

Step 3

Accelerate Your Growth

How & when do you tell the story?

Your unfair advantage needs to come to life across every customer touchpoint.

Our well-thought-out strategic plan converts interest into customers and advocates.

  • Owned Marketing
  • Paid Marketing
  • Earned Marketing

Frequently Asked Questions

Finding the right agency is hard. We were in your shoes once too. 

We encourage all clients to ask these questions during the search for an agency. Find out what the agency is made of through this exercise. More importantly, this helps you to be honest with yourself what YOU want and what YOUR BUSINESS needs.

Our clients repeatedly told us how we made their lives insanely easy. We deliver what you asked for and what you didn’t know you needed. We tell you what to expect up front and we follow through. We keep everything efficient and accessible because your time is as important as ours. We are likely doing more than what the scope of work entails. We consider it an investment because our success is dependent on yours.

We can’t help you unless you let us. Prompt answers help us move faster to hit deadlines. Sharing trade knowledge gives us more insightful solutions. Trusting us to push you outside your comfort zone allows us to do the right thing. At the end of the day, it is still your business and we are only here to make it better.

Most growth agencies charge by a percentage of your ad spend. They are financially motivated to increase your ad spend. We designed our flex model to focus on your results, not your ad spend. We recommend a marketing strategy plan with most of our new clients so you can execute the plan with us, in-house, or with other agencies. 

We recommend that small to medium sized businesses spend 10-15% of total monthly revenue on marketing. If you are in a competitive industry or looking to outgrow your size, your marketing budget needs to be on the higher end. If you are looking to remain status quo, your spend can be on the lower end. If you have a product/service challenge, we don’t recommend you spend anything on marketing until that’s solved.

We consider AI just another tool, like PowerPoint and Photoshop. It boosts productivity and effectiveness when used correctly. We have an internal AI usage guideline that everyone follows and improves on a daily basis. AI can be the first step in our work flow, but it will never be the last step.
