We Drive Growth and Deliver Impact with Custom Branding and Digital Marketing Solutions

Scaling Organizations Is Our Superpower

It’s no accident that most of our clients come to us when they’re experiencing growing pains. We’re expert in getting to the bottom of the real problem, and rolling up our sleeves to provide custom solutions for our client partners.

Metrics & Performance Driven

We believe that similar to words, numbers tell a story. Whether we’re helping with building a website solution that will reduce website bounce rates or crafting email campaigns that will increase open rates, we care about the numbers and that is how we measure our efficiency.

Creativity Baked into Everything We Do

Our projects are unique, and one of a kind. We are a creative bunch that can turn even the most mundane topics or concepts into eye-catching, captivating graphics, websites and written copy.

"Out of the box" is Not How We Roll

Majority of our websites are bespoke, meaning they are customized to the specifications of our clients. We only provide out-of-the-box web development services when specifically requested by a client.

Ready to grow?

With nearly 25 years of combined branding and web design experience on our team, we’re confident we can deliver results with an optimized website, a CRM, and automated follow up.

If you’re not sure where to start, how about you let us take a look under the hood first?

 

The team at CMC is fantastic! So patient with me as I’m learning new technology! A thousand thank yous for a great company. I LOVE my branding! Highly recommend!

How We Help Ambitious Small Businesses Grow Smarter

Our Customized Branding and Digital Marketing Solutions

Before spending thousands on advertising or sinking endless amounts of funds into search engine optimization, there are basics that you need to ensure are in place. That is where we come in. It is our desire to help you gain brand clarity so you can scale responsibly.

Brand Identity & Positioning

Whether you’re looking for help with naming your company, brand messaging, brand identity design or market research we offer customized brand-building solutions that will help you cement a strong foundation in your business. This is an essential process to ensure that future marketing efforts are not in vain.

Web Presence

One of the main issues you’re likely facing is the distance between who you say you are, and what people experience online. Put simply, you want to ensure brand continuity that makes it easier to establish brand trust. We partner with our clients to develop a consistent presence both on and offline.

Reputation Management

So many people make decisions now solely based on a company’s reviews and their website. They may only call in to ask specific questions after already doing preliminary research. If you’re not centering client reviews, you’re missing out on business. Simple. We help you leverage the good you’ve already done to gain new business.

Now, it's your turn.
Are you ready to get started?

We’ve worked very hard at fine tuning our client onboarding and delivery process at CMC.

Every step is intentional, and every step is filled with value. Even our discovery meetings.

So, don’t be overwhelmed, we’ve worked overtime to make your experience as simple, and as painless as possible.  

Check out the steps below to get a sense of what it’s like to work with us!

 

The Process.

We pride ourselves on being very intentional. That intentionality starts even before we sit down for a discovery meeting. 

Once you reach out to our team to schedule a discovery meeting, we will send a detailed prospective client survey for you to complete. 

We then take that information, and do our own digging. Our team literally gets in your business.

Our discovery meeting will most likely be at our offices, a creative shared working space in downtown Frisco. You’ll walk into a room with your company logo proudly presented on a television screen – that’s the presentation. 

Our discovery presentation typically has the following parts:

  • We ask you to tell your story
  • We ask more details about your current business goals and challenges
  • We talk about what we found and what our findings mean
  • We present a proposed solution to your current problems
  • Lastly, we give you a quick overview of our project flow and what to expect when working with us.

Following our meeting together, we’ll send a proposal to sign and an invoice to make your first payment. 

Once you’re officially a client, the fun officially starts. We’ll share a welcome packet and get you plugged into Slack, etc. 

Key step following your receipt of the welcome packet is the scheduling of your strategy session.

 

Your strategy session typically will last between 60-90 minutes. 

In preparation for your strategy session, we will send another questionnaire – this time with specific questions about your particular project. 

For branding clients, we create a Pinterest board with design inspirations that reflect conversations we’ve had up to this point. 

We will also start crafting your project brief. 

During the strategy session you will get:

  • A project brief (timelines may or may not need to be confirmed following the strategy session)
  • Design ideas 
  • Check list of things we need to complete your project 
  • Quick overview of how to use Slack 
  • Creative art direction for your project
  • Overarching strategy for your project

By the end of your strategy session you should know who is doing what, when, and (mostly) how. 

 

This is the fun part! While you get back to the business of doing business, we get busy on your project. 

We complete our projects in sprints, and your payments will be made when our team hits different milestones.

That way we continue a flow in the project, and each time you’re asked to pay, you get to see exactly what you’re paying for. It’s only fair. 

NOTE: Development does not begin without the receipt of all content to be included on the new site. We do this to ensure production integrity – we operate on a first come, first served basis. If you’re ready to go with your content, your site will be first in line and so on. 

 

We appreciate and prize collaboration with our clients, and nothing moves unless we’re in agreement.

Each milestone you’re not only asked for payment, we also want your feedback. That feedback is shared with our team and get right back at it to implement the requested changes.

 

It’s showtime!

Once we’ve gone through and checked all the boxes (we have a pre-launch check list that has tasks for both you and our team) it’s time to launch.

Your new branding design or website is ready for prime time.

 

We care deeply about the impact of the work we do, and that’s why we offer several in-house packages for support following the completion of our web design work.

If you’re just looking for hosting, we have you covered. If you want some edits or updates each month as part of that package, we can do that for you as well.

If you’d like to take your new site and use it as part of a full marketing effort – we have several services including email marketing that will help drive traffic back to key pages on your site.

For brand design projects, we have connections to phenomenal print houses, and sign companies that can help you use your new branding in exciting ways.

For websites, we have SEO partners we trust who can help you to leverage your new site for lead generation, etc.

Even after we’ve handed you the keys, we’re always here to help!
