Who We Are

The Agency We Wished We Had.

We built this company after running businesses of our own and discovering that the marketing help available came in two flavors: strategists who could not execute, and executors who had no strategy. So we built the third option.

NEW NAME, SAME TEAM

The Agency Formerly Known As Avalaunch Media.

For more than 20 years we operated as Avalaunch Media, a Utah marketing agency serving brands from local startups to Salesforce, Experian, and Lendio. Today we are Ampleo Marketing, a division of Ampleo, alongside fractional finance, HR, sales tax, valuation, and turnaround leadership.

‍

The name on the door changed. The team, the clients, the case studies, and the grit did not.

WHY WE EXIST

We Started Here Because We Lived the Problem.

Our founders owned and operated multiple e-commerce businesses before starting an agency, which means the growth problem was ours before it was yours. We knew what it felt like to approve a marketing budget without real confidence in where it was going. The pattern we kept running into was always the same. Senior strategy was available, at consulting rates, with no one to build it out. Execution was available, at agency rates, with no one deciding what the priorities were. Both were expensive. Neither closed the gap.


‍

So we built a firm where experienced marketing leaders plug directly into your team, own the plan, and have a full agency standing behind them to make it real.

STRATEGY-LED, AGENCY-BACKED

One Partner for Both Thinking AND Building.

Executives, not account managers.

Your engagement is led by a fractional CMO who has carried a growth number, not a coordinator relaying notes.

Ten disciplines under one roof.

Search, paid media, creative, web, social, PR, email, analytics, research, and brand, staffed by people who have worked together for years.

Accountability to revenue.

We report against the metrics that matter to your business, using the objectives and key results framework, not a vanity dashboard.

Part of something larger.

As an Ampleo division, we can bring fractional CFOs, HR leaders, and valuation experts to the table when the problem turns out to be more than a marketing problem.

A record you can check.

4.9 stars across 84 Google reviews, six consecutive years on Utah Business Magazine's Top 25 Advertising Agencies list, and clients who have stayed with us five years and longer.

The people behind your file

David Mink

President, Marketing

David founded Avalaunch Media in 2012 and built it into one of the fastest-growing marketing agencies in the country: 50 people, 8 figures, clients like Red Bull, GoPro, and Microsoft. After working with hundreds of companies, he kept seeing the same pattern: businesses with a real marketing leader get results. Those without one waste time and money. That's why he built the first fractional CMO, agency-backed solution and why he joined Ampleo.
