Hi There. We're Glad You're Here.

We're Pretty Clever Marketing Co. — a mother-daughter marketing team with over 55 years of combined experience and a genuine passion for helping small businesses grow.

But before we're marketers, we're family.

We're a small-town family made up of a mom, a daughter, and four energetic little grandkids who keep life interesting, keep us laughing, and remind us every day why supporting local businesses matters so much.

Because local businesses aren't just businesses.

They're the coffee shops where friends catch up.
The stores where people find the perfect gift.
The contractors who help keep our homes running.
The restaurants where families celebrate life's milestones.

They're the heart of our communities.

And that's exactly why we love helping them succeed.

Between the two of us, we've spent more than 55 years working in marketing.

We've worked in agencies.
We've worked in corporate environments.
We've managed campaigns, budgets, creative projects, and strategies for businesses large and small.

And throughout all those years, we noticed something that never seemed to change.

Small business owners were often getting the short end of the stick.

Some were ignored because they didn't have massive marketing budgets.

Others were sold complicated strategies they didn't need.

And many were left feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, and unsure if their marketing was actually working.

We knew there had to be a better way.

So we created Pretty Clever Marketing Co.

A marketing company built specifically for local businesses that want practical guidance, honest advice, and marketing that helps bring in more customers.

The truth is, we love marketing.

We love strategy.
We love creativity.
We love figuring out what makes a business unique and helping the right people discover it.

But what we love most is seeing small business owners succeed.

There's something special about helping a local business owner gain confidence, attract new customers, and finally feel like their marketing is working for them instead of against them.

When your business grows, your family benefits.
Your employees benefit.
Your community benefits.

That's what motivates us every day.

What You Can Expect From Us

When you work with Pretty Clever Marketing Co., you'll never get confusing jargon, cookie-cutter strategies, or pressure-filled sales conversations.

What you will get is:

  • We're not interested in selling you services you don't need or convincing you that every new marketing trend is a must-have. Our job is to help you make smart decisions for your business, even if that means recommending a simpler solution. We'll always tell you what we genuinely believe will help you grow, because long-term relationships are built on trust, not sales pitches.

  • Marketing shouldn't feel complicated. We focus on strategies and action steps that make sense for your business, your budget, and your goals. Instead of overwhelming you with endless ideas and industry jargon, we'll help you prioritize the things that will have the biggest impact so you can move forward with confidence.

  • No two businesses are exactly alike, so your marketing shouldn't look like everyone else's. We take the time to understand what makes your business special and develop creative ideas that reflect your personality, connect with your customers, and help you stand out in a crowded marketplace. The goal isn't to be different just for the sake of being different—it's to be memorable for the right reasons.

  • You should never be left wondering what's happening with your marketing. We believe in keeping things simple, transparent, and easy to understand. We'll explain what we're doing, why we're doing it, and how it supports your goals. No confusing reports. No marketing buzzwords. Just honest conversations and clear communication every step of the way.

  • At the end of the day, marketing should help your business grow. Whether that means attracting new customers, increasing sales, generating leads, or building stronger relationships with the customers you already have, we keep our focus on the outcomes that matter most. Every recommendation we make is designed with one question in mind: how will this help your business move forward?

We believe marketing doesn't have to be complicated to be effective.

Sometimes the smartest solutions are also the simplest.
