So, What’s It Like to Work With Beacon?
We get this question all the time — and honestly? It’s one of our favorites.
Imagine a marketing agency where ideas bounce between time zones, strategy decks come with emojis, and brainstorms happen over Zoom with pets occasionally crashing the call. We’re not gathered around a whiteboard; we’re collaborating from home offices, coffee shops, and cozy corners across the country. And somehow, it just works.
From the first day I joined Beacon, one thing stood out: the energy. It’s collaborative, fast-moving, and refreshingly human. Working with Beacon Media + Marketing isn’t a stiff, templated experience. It’s a dynamic, energizing partnership powered by curiosity, collaboration, and results that matter. We ask a lot of questions, dream big with you, and keep it real — always.
So if you’re wondering what it’s really like to work with us, grab your coffee (ours is already brewing) and take a peek at what’s on desktop.
What Happens Right After You Say Hello?
You might be wondering, “What actually happens after I hit ‘submit’ on that contact form?” Short answer: We get excited. You fill out a form, and boom — within a business day, you’ve got a real person on the line.
Our discovery calls are where the fun begins. We don’t show up with a pre-cooked pitch. We show up ready to listen. We want to know what’s lighting you up right now and what’s keeping you up at night. Is your brand voice falling flat? Ads not converting? Feeling overwhelmed with all the things?
Whatever it is, we’ll dig in.
Expect us to get a little too excited about your niche (we’re marketers — we can’t help ourselves), ask thoughtful questions, and start imagining possibilities from the very first conversation.
Let’s have a peek at what’s on our Web & Paid Ads Lead’s desktop:
How Do We Kick Off a Project?
Once we know we’re a good fit (mutual excitement is key!), we’ll kick things off with a deep strategic evaluation — not just to see where you’re at, but to figure out what’s actually working and what’s not. No surface-level assumptions here. We go deep from the start, looking for fresh opportunities, hidden strengths, and smart pivots that will move the needle.
Then, we build a roadmap together. Whether you’re launching paid ads, boosting SEO, or rolling out a full rebrand, we align on the goals that matter to you and make sure the path forward is clear.
You’ll meet your dream team (seriously, they’re the best), get access to your custom campaign plan, and start seeing traction faster than you might expect.
What to Expect:
- A clear strategy, not guesswork: We assess what’s working, what’s lagging, and where your best opportunities lie.
- A dedicated team: You’ll meet the creatives and strategists behind your campaign — and get to know them by name.
- Simple, effective communication: No complicated platforms — just real humans who show up, check in, and keep things moving.
Now we should check in with our CMM Lead:
What’s It Like to Collaborate With the Beacon Team?
In a word? Purposeful.
But also: fun, real, inspiring, and maybe a little chaotic in the best way.
We’ve built a culture that thrives on creative momentum and solid processes. You’ll get weekly or biweekly check-ins, clear expectations, and campaign updates you don’t need a translator to understand.
Something I’ve noticed since day one is how intentional we are about communication. Whether it’s a Slack ping, a brainstorm session, or a check-in call, there’s always a sense of momentum. We move fast, but never without purpose.
The Energy:
- Brainstorm sessions feel like lightning in a bottle.
- Slack messages are full of ideas, encouragement, and the occasional GIF-off.
- We’re strategic, but never robotic. Structured, but never stiff.
A Few Beacon-isms You Might Hear:
- “Let’s run a fast test and iterate.”
- “Would this headline stop you mid-scroll?”
- “If this were your money, would you spend it here?”
- “Can we infuse more YOU into this?”
Because that’s the thing, we don’t want to just hit benchmarks. We want to create something meaningful with you.
Our Social & Video Lead always has something happening:
What Do Results Look Like (And How Do You See Them)?
Marketing should never feel like a mystery. With us, it doesn’t.
I’m a content nerd through and through — and thanks to my alma mater’s “learn by doing” motto, I’ve always believed in rolling up my sleeves and getting to the root of the problem through investigative work. That’s why I love how we approach reporting at Beacon: it’s rooted in strategy and real data, not gut feelings or guesswork.
We kick off every campaign with measurable KPIs, and we track performance consistently. But numbers alone don’t always tell the full story — and that’s where the magic happens. Our reporting isn’t just a PDF full of graphs and open rates. It’s strategy: clearly explained, thoughtfully presented, and tied directly to your goals.
Clients often ask, “How will I know it’s working?” And the truth is, we show you. Through real-time dashboards, context-rich updates, and plain language (no marketing lingo required), you’ll always understand what’s performing, what’s not, and what we’re doing about it.
Expect dashboards you’ll actually want to click into, calls where we talk through wins and next steps, and full transparency around how your investment is performing, not just this month, but in the long run.
Examples:
- If you’re a therapy practice, we’ll show how many new patients came from specific ads, and which ones are converting best.
- If you’re an e-commerce brand, we’ll break down cost-per-acquisition and ROAS with clarity, not jargon.
And when things work? We celebrate — every single week. From Slack confetti to client shout-outs, we make space to call out the wins on our Thursday celebration calls, where team members share what went well and who made magic happen. It’s part of how we stay connected, stay motivated, and keep that “let’s do this again!” momentum going strong.
Our Content & SEO Lead always has an interesting desktop:
What Makes Working With Beacon Feel Different?
We’ve had clients tell us, “You’re not like any agency we’ve worked with before.” And honestly? That’s the best compliment we could ask for. We care about your brand, your team, your vision, and the people you serve. This isn’t just marketing for us. Its impact.
No one on our team is “just clocking in.” We bring curiosity, creativity, and care into every interaction. We’ll never push you into strategies that don’t feel aligned. We’ll never ghost you mid-project. We’ll never make you feel like you’re just one of many on a long client list.
What you get is a team that’s ready to dig deep, go all in, and show up for your brand like it’s our own.
Getting to tell our clients’ stories and be part of their growth is honestly one of my favorite parts of what I do here.
How Clients Describe It:
- “Every step of the way was more successful than I had anticipated.”
- “Their authentic generosity and enthusiasm for their clients will help supply you with added energy to focus on what you do best.”
- “Very thoughtful strategy, precise execution, and easy to follow reporting and analysis.”
