MEET THE FOUNDERS
Matt & Jessica Drake
We've spent years helping businesses improve their marketing, operations, and customer experience.
Along the way, we noticed the same thing over and over again: most business owners don't need another tool or another marketing buzzword. They need practical systems and a partner they can actually trust.
That's exactly why we started Local Marketing Partner.

Strategy should come before tools
Clear communication builds trust
Growth should feel manageable

01 | We Start By Understanding Your Business
Before recommending services or strategies, we take time to understand how your business operates, what’s already working, and where you need support most.
02 | We Build Around Your Goals
Some businesses need websites, automation, and customer systems. Others simply need stronger branding, design, content, or marketing support.
Everything we create is built around your business, not a one size fits all package.

Whether you need ongoing creative work, marketing support, updated materials, or help expanding your systems later, we stay available as your business evolves.
