A New Chapter for Amplēo Marketing: Strategy Meet Execution
Today marks an exciting milestone in Amplēo’s journey. I’m thrilled to officially announce the acquisition of Stage Marketing, a full-service digital transformation agency. As the managing partner of Amplēo, I’m excited to share this news and what it means for our clients.
The addition of Stage Marketing aligns with our vision to bridge the experience gap that often exists in small and medium businesses by providing flexible, fractional marketing teams. The measurable result is stronger brand presence, lower acquisition costs, and accelerated growth. The intangible result is confidence for founders and operators as they scale.
Let’s dive into the details of what this new stage will look like for Amplēo and our clients.
The Power of Synergy
We’ve always believed in the criticality of experienced leadership in driving efficient business growth. Our model of providing fractional CFO, CMO, and HR services has empowered countless businesses to access this strategic leadership without the commitment of full-time hires. Now, with the addition of Stage Marketing to our suite of services, we’re taking that commitment to growth to a new level of execution.
When we first connected with Stage Marketing, it felt like finding the missing piece of the puzzle. Stage Marketing seamlessly complements Amplēo’s strategic approach by adding unparalleled execution capabilities in content creation, digital strategy, public relations, web development, SEO, and design. Its proven track record of delivering thousands of successful projects across various industries aligns perfectly with our mission.
We’ve redefined what it means to deliver marketing solutions by combining strategy and execution into what we’re calling “marketing as a managed service.” Fractional CMOs are the drivers steering the marketing vehicle, and Stage Marketing is the engine propelling it forward.
Enhancing Our Service Offerings
This acquisition represents more than a business transaction: It’s a strategic move that will enhance our ability to serve our clients better. By integrating Stage Marketing’s capabilities with our existing marketing services, we’re creating a powerhouse of solutions that blend strategy with execution.
Our clients will now have access to a skilled team to deliver the following:
- Content development
- Creative, video, and design
- Website development and optimization
- Paid media
- Lifecycle marketing
Imagine having an integrated marketing team that understands your business at a tactical level led by providing the flexibility of fractional leadership.
A Shared Vision for Growth
When I first connected with the Stage Marketing team, I knew we were onto something special. Their passion? Infectious. Their skills? Razor-sharp. What excites me most about this partnership is the shared vision we have for our clients.
Lathum Nelson, director of practice at Stage Marketing, echoed this sentiment when he said, “Partnering with Amplēo is a game-changer for Stage Marketing and the clients we serve. By combining Amplēo’s big-picture strategy with our get-it-done execution, we will be able to deliver impactful campaigns that help clients scale and drive real revenue growth.”
By combining Amplēo’s strategic leadership with Stage Marketing’s executional excellence, we’ve created an innovative model that provides not just high-level marketing strategy but also a fully integrated marketing team capable of crafting brands, developing campaigns, and delivering results—all with flexibility, scalability, and efficiency.
I’ve been in the business long enough to know that numbers matter, but people matter more. This acquisition is about more than spreadsheets and synergies (though we’ve got those, too). It’s about bringing together two teams with a shared fundamental belief in empowering businesses and creating lasting impact.
Looking Ahead
As we move forward, I’m confident that this acquisition will allow us to offer even more value to our clients. With the introduction of marketing as a managed service, we’re empowering organizations to access both strategic executive leadership and a highly skilled marketing team—delivering a seamless blend of vision, strategy, and execution.
Together, Amplēo and Stage Marketing allow growth companies to rethink how businesses approach growth. Stage Marketing isn’t just joining Amplēo: We’re creating something bigger than ourselves. As a managing partner, I’m not only excited but also deeply committed to this transformation. This isn’t about checking a box: This is a bold step toward reshaping how companies approach growth, marketing, and strategic development.
