The Screaming Fans Marketing Story
HOW WE GOT OUR START
When you think of a marketing or advertising agency, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? A big shiny office? Layers of employees? Contracts? Waiting for results? Huge surprise invoices? Some of those things may be necessary if you’re a multi-billion-dollar company, but they have no place in the world of small business. Slow starts, weighty contracts, and unexpected expenses could be crippling. That’s where Screaming Fans Marketing comes in.
Jen Leach began her marketing career in the telecommunications industry as it boomed in the early 90’s. She led the marketing efforts for a series of startups, and with the rest of the core team, launched companies from an idea on a napkin to $30+ million in annual revenue. Jen has continued to assist startup companies with strategy, brand creation, market analysis, and much more ever since.
Through this process, Jen worked with a host of advertising agencies and experienced all of the negative aspects mentioned above. She realized that startups and small business owners needed marketing help, but didn’t need the headaches or expense of an agency built for big business.
In 2014, Jen created Screaming Fans Marketing with the goal of becoming “the marketing agency built for small businesses.” She created a firm just for startups plus small and medium-sized companies and began delivering just what they needed: fast, effective, marketing that fit their budget.
At Screaming Fans, we pride ourselves on bringing our whole team of talent to each client and delivering world-class marketing with proven results!
