Services

What we actually do · Redding, CA

We used to sell eleven services. Eleven was a mistake.

We trimmed an eleven-service menu down to four. The other things (print, podcast production, fractional CMO work, the occasional radio buy) are still on the table when you ask. They just don’t need to live in our nav.

01Strategy + paid media

Ads that learn faster than your competitors.

Most agencies pick channels based on what they can bill the most for. We pick the ones your customers actually live on, then run them tight: daily checks, weekly tweaks, monthly pivots when the data says so.

Channel audit + benchmark

A real look at what’s working, what’s wasting, and what your last agency wouldn’t admit.

Build + launch in 14 days

Pixels, conversions, audiences, creative and tracking, wired before you can say “first-click attribution.”

Weekly optimization

We watch daily, but the meaningful changes happen weekly so the algorithm has time to learn.

Monthly strategy review

Real numbers, plain language. What to do next and why, even if it means spending less.

Custom WordPress builds on Bricks that load fast, rank well, and don’t fall apart when your nephew updates the homepage. Plus the AI workflows that automate the parts of your business that shouldn’t need a human.

Design + build

A site that looks like it’s from this decade. Fast, accessible, and yours to edit without paying us by the hour.

SEO + search experience

Keywords still matter, but so does showing up in AI overviews. We optimize for both, because the search box keeps changing.

AI agents + workflows

Lead routing, intake forms, customer research, internal docs: automated with tools you can actually maintain.

Care + speed plans

Monthly maintenance, security, backups, and the small fixes that pile up when nobody’s watching the site.

Local, state and national candidate campaigns that respect both the disclosure rules and your voters’ intelligence. Creative that actually persuades, targeting down to the precinct, filings kept clean.

Campaign launch package

Brand, web, ads and tracking ready before the first donor email goes out. Tight timelines are our normal.

Persuasion + GOTV creative

Video, static and text-message creative that sounds like a person. Not a focus group with a thesaurus.

Geo + precinct targeting

We match voter files to digital audiences so your dollars hit the people who actually vote in your race.

Disclosure + compliance

Paid-for disclaimers, ad library reporting, and itemized expense reports built to survive a treasurer audit.

Exactly what happens, so nobody acts surprised.

Every engagement, whether it’s a logo or a statewide launch, moves through the same five stages. Same team, same checkpoints, same clarity on what happens next.

01
Week 0 · no cost

Discovery call

Thirty minutes, not a sales pitch. What you’re building, what’s working, what isn’t. If we’re not the fit, we tell you who is.

02
Week 1

Audit + proposal

We dig into your accounts, analytics, site and competition. Written proposal with scope, timeline and price inside five business days.

03
Weeks 2–4

Build + launch

Heads-down work with weekly check-ins and a shared workspace where every asset, draft and decision lives.

04
Month 2 onward

Optimize + iterate

Launch isn’t done, it’s legible. We test creative, ship updates and report on what moved. Monthly calls, no consultant-speak.

05
Every 90 days

Review + reset

Are we still doing the right work? If a channel stopped performing we kill it. If something new is working, we double down.

Three ways in. No lock-in, ever.

Fixed prices for projects, month-to-month for retainers, custom for campaigns with a hard end date. Quoted before we start, every time.

Questions we get before signing, including the blunt ones.

Don’t see yours? Email tyler@creativeshiftmarketing.com. A real person reads it, usually the same day.

Do you require long-term contracts?

No. Retainers are month-to-month with 30 days’ notice. Project work is fixed scope, fixed price. We’ve never had to sue a client to leave us. We’d rather you stay because the work is good.

What’s your minimum ad spend?

For paid media management we recommend at least $3,000 a month in media so the platforms have enough volume to optimize. Below that you’re better off self-managing, and we’ll happily set you up to do exactly that.

Do you work with clients outside California?

Yes. Active work in 14 states and counting. Most of the team is in Redding, but the work is fully remote-ready. We travel for major shoots and launches when it makes sense.

Who actually does the work?

Us. No white-labeling, no overseas account teams, no junior exec running your account while a senior person collects the invoice. The people on your kickoff call are the people doing the work.

Will I own everything you build?

Always. Code, accounts, creative files, raw footage. Yours from day one. If you ever leave, you walk out with everything. We hand off cleanly because we’d rather you choose to stay than be trapped into it.

Are you using AI on my account?

Yes, where it makes the work better or faster: drafting, research, image variations, ad copy testing, support flows. Never to replace human judgment on strategy or creative direction, and we’ll tell you exactly where it shows up in your work.

Tell us what you’re building.

We’ll tell you whether we’re the right people for it, and if we’re not, who is. No pitch deck, no NDA gymnastics, just a real conversation.
