The marketing agency that James Taylor has worked with for 16 years. CBS for 11. Hallmark for 10.
Since 2006, we’ve worked with dozens of brands in entertainment, tech, and publishing. Some for a year (specific launches). Others for 5, 10, or 16 years.
No 12-month lock-ins and no pressure – just clear marketing advice.
Let’s hop on a call and discuss. No pitch. Just an honest conversation about whether we can help.
BRANDS WE’VE WORKED WITH
What makes us different?
Most agencies tell you what they’re good at. We tell you what won’t work for your business… before you waste time and money finding out.
But here’s the thing: we respect your expertise. You know your business better than anyone, and we bring marketing knowledge and industry experience. Together, we figure out what actually works.
Here’s what that means:
- No 12-month contracts. We bill month-to-month. If we’re not delivering value, you shouldn’t be locked in.
- Honest budget conversations. We’ll tell you what you can realistically accomplish at each budget level, rather than upselling you on things you don’t need.
- Flexible as you grow. One client started with seasonal campaigns for one division. The results were strong, so they came back the next year. And the year after that. Now we’re in year three and they’re bringing us into another division for year-round partnership.
- Flexible when you hit a bump. Sometimes priorities shift, or an external event forces you to scale back (COVID, anyone?) We adapt with you.
- We’ll refer you elsewhere. If we don’t have expertise in your space, we’ll tell you… and connect you with someone who does.
We’re honest about results, too. Some clients work with us for 16 years and counting (hi, James Taylor). Others hire us for 6 months for a specific launch. Both are success stories: it just depends on what you need.
We become part of your team.
Not a vendor you manage or a consultant who drops off reports and disappears. We integrate like an in-house marketing department, without the overhead.
You work directly with the people doing your work.
No “account managers” who just pass messages. On your first call, you’ll meet Savannah (agency founder) and the actual people handling your account. Those are the same people you’ll talk to every week.
We learn your business inside and out.
We read your books, watch your shows, use your software, and study your competitors. Our clients describe us as “committed to our success from day one” and working “to integrate our principles and emulate our brand.”
Everyone on our team is senior.
15-30 years of experience each. No recent grads, and no junior executors learning on your dime. You get seasoned marketers who’ve seen everything.
We’ve been in your industry for years.
Publishing (10+ years plus published authors on staff). Entertainment (16 years). Tech (7+ years plus our founder began as a developer). You won’t waste time explaining your industry – we already get the nuances that make your vertical different.
Three moments when smart businesses call us.
You don’t hire an agency when everything’s fine, you hire an agency when something needs to change.
1. When Change Creates Urgency
You’re launching something that matters. New product. New brand. Major campaign. You need it done right, and your team doesn’t have the capacity.
A platform change broke what was working. iOS privacy updates. Algorithm changes. Your ads that crushed it last quarter don’t work anymore. Your traffic crashed 70% and you can’t figure out why.
Your marketing person just left. You’re between hires, or you can’t find someone senior enough. Or perhaps you just can’t face the hiring process right now. You need bridge support from someone who can hit the ground running.
You got funding. Your seed round or Series A just closed. Now you need to build out marketing, but you’re not sure where to start (and you need to start NOW!).
You have a major milestone. Acquisition. Rebrand. New market. New direction. Your marketing needs to reflect where you’re going, not where you’ve been.
2. When Internal Capacity Hits a Wall
Your team is drowning. Six platforms, daily posting, community management, paid ads… it’s not sustainable anymore. You’re doing everything “catch as catch can” and it shows.
You’re the founder doing everything. You’re handling marketing on top of running the business. Something has to give.
You need seasonal support. Annual product launches. Holiday campaigns. Big events. You don’t need year-round help, but when you need it, it has to be done right.
Someone’s stuck doing “pump and dump” content. Your marketing coordinator is juggling seven jobs, and your photographer handles social as a side task. The quality is suffering and everyone knows it.
You don’t have paid ad experience in-house. Your team does organic social fine, but paid advertising is a different game and you need someone who knows what they’re doing.
3. When Past Attempts Didn’t Work
You’ve tried agencies before and they failed. Three agencies in three years, and each one overpromised and underdelivered. You’re exhausted but ready to try one more time.
Sales are tanking and you don’t know why. E-commerce is down and website traffic is flat. Conversions are dropping. Something’s broken but you can’t figure out what.
You’ve hit a growth plateau. You used to grow steadily, but now you’re stuck. You don’t know if it’s strategy, tactics, or market conditions.
Your ads are spending money but not making money. You’re running campaigns but have no idea if they’re actually working, and you’re getting tons of leads but zero buyers. You need someone to tell you the truth.
Sound familiar?
What happens when you wait?
We’ve been doing this for 16 years. We’ve worked with clients who called us after trying three other agencies, or six different freelancers, or two years of doing it themselves.
Here’s what we see happen when businesses wait:
- The math gets worse. Traffic that dropped 70% doesn’t recover on its own and ads that stopped working don’t magically start again. Every month that you’re spending money and not seeing returns adds up.
- Your team burns out. That marketing coordinator juggling seven jobs? They’re going to quit. The founder doing everything is going to crack. “Catch as catch can” becomes “we gave up trying.”
- You fall further behind. Your competitors aren’t waiting. Platform changes happen weekly, and the gap between where you are and where you need to be gets wider every month.
- You waste more money on the wrong solution. Another cheap agency or another freelancer who ghosts. Another six months before you realize it’s not working. We’ve heard “you’re the sixth outlet we’ve tried” too many times.
- Your brand suffers. “Pump and dump” content doesn’t just fail to engage, it actively trains your audience to ignore you. Every mediocre post makes the next one harder.
We’re not saying you need to hire us today. But if any of this sounds familiar, the cost of waiting isn’t zero.

What our clients are saying
Looking for a partner, a plan, or both?
Full-Service Partnership

You’ve got a business to run. You need someone who will handle strategy, execution, and optimization without constant hand-holding. That’s us.

We handle everything: planning, creative, execution, optimization.
Bi-weekly strategy meetings (we bring the data and recommendations)
Weekly status reports (so you always know what we’re working on)
Direct Slack access (no “submit a ticket” nonsense)
You get an entire senior team (strategist, copywriter, designer, community manager, ad specialist) for less than the cost of one full-time hire.
Best for: Teams who want to delegate and trust experts to lead
Strategic Guidance
We create the roadmap, your team drives.
You have an internal team, but they need expert direction. We build comprehensive strategies, monthly plans, and templates. Your team executes, we guide.

Template libraries (so your team doesn’t start from scratch)
On-call guidance (when they need a second opinion)

Hybrid Collaboration
We share the workload however makes sense for you.

What this looks like:
You tell us what’s overwhelming you.
We take those pieces off your plate.
Your team handles what they’re good at.
We collaborate on everything else.
Best for: Teams with some marketing capacity who need specific expertise or extra hands
WHAT WE ACTUALLY DO
We’ve worked in digital marketing since 2006. We’ve seen every platform launch, every algorithm change, every “next big thing.” Here’s how that experience helps you.

From strategy to execution across all platforms. We’ll tell you which channels actually matter for your business, and which ones to skip.

Advertising
Maximize ROI across Meta, Google Ads, LinkedIn, Reddit, and app stores.
We handle everything from creative to targeting, with flat fees (not % of spend) and honest reporting on what’s actually working.
Strategy
Clear direction when you need it most.
Standalone analysis of what’s working, what’s not, and where to go next. Perfect for launches, plateaus, or when you need an outside perspective.
SEO/SEM/AEO

FAQ
Our engagements typically range from $1,500/month (ads only or basic SEO) to $15,000+/month (full-service partnership). Most clients start somewhere in between.
Here’s what we recommend: tell us your goals and your budget ceiling. We’ll show you what’s realistic at different price points – no pressure to spend more than makes sense.
No surprises: everything is itemized. You see exactly what you’re paying for.
No. We bill month-to-month, and you can cancel with 30 days notice.
If we’re not delivering value, you shouldn’t be locked in. Our clients stay because it’s working, not because they’re trapped in a contract.
One thing to know: some campaigns need 60-90 days to show results (especially with paid ads). We’ll tell you upfront what timeline to expect.
We hear this constantly. Here’s what usually went wrong, and what we do differently:
They overpromised: “We’ll triple your revenue in 60 days!” We’re honest: “Here’s what’s realistic for your budget and timeline.“
They disappeared: “Haven’t heard from them in six weeks.” We over-communicate, with bi-weekly meetings, weekly status reports, monthly analytics, and Slack access.
You had no idea what we paid for: “They sent a report but it made no sense.” We explain everything: every metric and every decision, in plain English.
They didn’t understand your industry: “They treated us like every other client.” We’ve worked in publishing, entertainment, and tech for decades. And we work directly with you: you’ll meet our founder on your first call and talk to the actual people doing your work every week.
They gave you junior people: “The pitch was done by the founder but then we got handed off to someone with 6 months of experience.” Everyone on our team has 15-30 years of experience. No juniors, and no handoffs.
Honest answer: We’re a good fit if you want partnership, not just execution.
You’ll love working with us if:
- You want honest advice (even when it’s uncomfortable)
- You’re okay with honest input (if we think something won’t work we’ll explain why, but we respect that you know your business best)
- You value clear communication (we probably over-communicate)
- You’re ready to trust experts (we’ll explain our thinking, but you need to let us lead)
You won’t love working with us if:
- You want someone who just says yes to everything
- You’re not ready to invest in actually executing strategy
- You change direction every time you listen to a new podcast
Not sure? Let’s talk. We’ll know within 15 minutes if it makes sense.
Yes. Daxia Digital has specific experience helping newly funded startups build out their marketing from the ground up. We have supported companies immediately after seed and Series A closes, helping founders move from zero to a functioning marketing operation quickly.
Services include strategy development, paid advertising, social media, email marketing, SEO, and AEO. Engagements are month-to-month with no 12-month lock-ins, which suits the pace and uncertainty of early-stage growth.
Trampt, a designer toy marketplace, hired Daxia immediately after funding to serve as their de facto marketing department, resulting in nearly 3 million organic social impressions, 224% follower growth, and a 520% increase in email open rate.
Yes. Daxia Digital has extensive experience working at the division level within large organizations. One client began with seasonal campaigns for a single division, achieved strong results, and expanded the relationship to year-round work across a second division.
Daxia has worked inside complex multi-department environments with global partnerships (such as RCA/Technicolor and CBS/Paramount) and understands how to navigate internal stakeholders, brand standards, and approval processes without losing momentum.
Daxia functions as an embedded extension of the division’s marketing team, not as a vendor that has to be managed.
