Two-week iterations, not 12-month commits
Engagements are scoped in two-week sprints with clear deliverables. You can pause or pivot without breaking a contract.
Iowa City is a market where reputation moves first and search rankings catch up later. Our Paid Social programs for Iowa City businesses are built to do both at once — earn the trust signals, then convert them into pipeline you can measure.
Paid social only works when the creative is right and the measurement is honest. We run Meta, TikTok, and LinkedIn programs with first-party server-side tracking (CAPI / Events API) so iOS 14+ doesn't blind your reporting, and we ship 4-8 creative variations per month so the algorithm has something to optimize toward.

The strategist on your kickoff call is the strategist who runs your account. We don't do bait-and-switch staffing.
Every monthly report ties our work back to leads, bookings, or revenue — not just impressions and rankings.
Based in the Elkhart, Indiana area and active across the Midwest and Great Lakes — same time zone as your team, on-site visits when the project warrants it.
Iowa City is a UNESCO City of Literature and one of the Midwest's great college towns — anchored by the University of Iowa and the University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics, the state's largest employer and a major academic medical center. ACT is headquartered here too. A young, educated, brand-aware market with healthcare and higher education driving the economy.

Iowa City sits at the center of a region we know well — Johnson County and the surrounding Iowa corridor where many of our Paid Social clients are based.

Meta still has the broadest reach for most Iowa City-area businesses, especially with retargeting. TikTok is strong for restaurant, retail, and entertainment verticals. LinkedIn fits B2B services. We pick based on where your customers actually spend time.
We can do either. Most clients let us produce static and short-form video creative in our monthly sprint; some have an internal team and just want strategy and media buying.
Usually 7-10 business days from kickoff: pixel and CAPI setup, creative production, campaign build, and approvals.
Server-side conversion APIs (CAPI for Meta, Events API for TikTok), CRM-matched conversions, and incrementality testing where the budget supports it. We don't rely on platform-modeled conversions alone.
Most engagements kick off within 2 weeks of a signed scope. The 14 days are spent on access provisioning, baseline measurement, and stakeholder interviews so the work that follows isn't blind.
