Gregory Mosher

I would have left a review sooner, however, I’ve been so busy lately, thanks to Mike at Vandy Marketing, I hardly have time to get around to quoting people.

Reagan Mae Kuzyk

Weekly meetings helped me think about social media marketing in a whole different way, and it’s definitely to our benefit. 10/10, would recommend.

Kyle Peveril

We have been looking for a team to help with the marketing side of our business for years but couldn’t find a good fit. Vandy has filled that void and we couldn’t be happier.

Greg & Maureen Fownes

Working with Mike at Vandy Marketing has been fantastic. He is great to work with and has a wealth of knowledge to share with his clients. Highly recommend.

They take time to understand your business which was particularly important with our niche products. I would highly recommend Vandy Marketing.

Marc Sidhom

I have asked Vandy Marketing to assist with several projects over the past two years. They are now also very much integrating modern AI approaches.

Melissa Britez

Mike is extremely approachable and professional with his work. He designed our website with an amazing user-friendly approach and we love it.

They were very quick to implement additions I requested throughout the delivery of my website. Couldn’t think of a better team to help launch a new website.

We know what works

Skip the Guesswork and Get Access to Marketing Strategies that Work

Posting on social media won’t guarantee success on its own. You need a presence at every step of the buyer journey. From Google, where people go to make an informed decision, to your website, email, and everything in between.

We’re Local And We Show Up

Bring in a Marketing & AI Expert and Receive Reliable, Ongoing Support

When you work with us, you work directly with one dedicated contact. You’re never explaining things twice and have a direct line to marketing insights. In those all-too-critical moments it’s a relief knowing your expert is local and easy to reach.

YOU’RE IN GOOD COMPANY

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone, and you’re exactly who we built Vandy Marketing for.

We’ve worked with enough owners, managers, and teams to know where your marketing can break down. We help remove bottlenecks and recover sunken cost.

No RETURN ON ADS

“Google and Meta Ads don’t bring a clear return on investment.”

It’s frustrating when you put a marketing budget behind something, but have nothing to show for it.

FEELING BEHIND

“The digital space keeps changing. I don’t have time to stay ahead.”

You need a reliable expert who stays active in this space and tuned in to what’s actually working.

INCONSISTENT DEMAND

“Our lead flow is too inconsistent or still feels accidental.”

You want to keep your team busy and scale your business, but there’s not enough work to go around.

NO CONVERSIONS

“Our website looks good but visitors are not buying or reaching out.”

If your site converts at 2% but could be doing 5%, you’re leaving thousands on the table every month.

LOW QUALITY LEADS

“We’re spending time and money but not seeing real results.”

You’re putting effort into marketing, but leads aren’t coming in. When they do, they’re not the right ones.

NOTHING STICKS

“I feel like we’ve tried everything but nothing sticks.”

You’ve tested ads, social media, even tried your hand at SEO but nothing has turned into a steady lead flow.

website design that works

Most Websites Are Built to Look Nice. Ours Are Built to Drive Action.

At Vandy Marketing, we believe that every visual choice should move someone closer to buying, booking, or reaching out. Design should lead, not impress. After all, what’s the point of a great looking website if no one takes action on it? We combine a solid knowledge base, years of experience, and the results to back it all up. If you’d like to see for yourself, we’d be happy to show you what that looks like in action.
