Denver Advertising Agency That Connects Campaigns to Revenue
Most advertising agencies sell you impressions. We sell you outcomes. Creative Options is a Denver advertising agency that has been building campaigns for Colorado businesses since 2009. We handle TV, radio, print, outdoor, digital, and direct mail, but we measure success by leads and revenue, not reach and frequency. If your current agency shows you media reports but can’t tell you how many customers those ads actually brought in, we should talk.
What We Do
TV & Radio Production
We produce broadcast spots that build brand and drive response. Scriptwriting, casting, production, and post, all handled in-house. We've produced campaigns for healthcare systems, tourism boards, and regional retailers across Colorado.
Media Planning & Buying
We negotiate rates, plan placements, and optimize spend across TV, radio, print, outdoor, and digital. You get transparent reporting on every dollar: where it went and what it generated. See Media Planning Services →
Outdoor & Billboard Advertising
Strategic placement in high-traffic Denver locations. We handle design, production, and placement negotiation. We know which boards perform in this market and which ones waste money.
Direct Mail
Targeted mail campaigns that complement your broadcast and digital efforts. We handle creative, list acquisition, printing, and fulfillment. Response tracking included so you know what's working.
Digital Advertising
Paid search, display, social, and video campaigns that work alongside your traditional media. Most clients need both. We integrate them into one strategy so every channel reinforces the others. See our full digital marketing services →
Customer Profiling & Research
Before we spend your media budget, we research who your best customers actually are. Demographics, psychographics, media consumption habits. The data that makes targeting work. This is where ModernMind 360° Analytics gives us an edge most Denver advertising agencies don't have. For a Colorado tourism client, ModernMind research showed that Denver metro families responded more to "drive time from Denver" messaging than "scenic beauty" messaging. That insight reshaped the entire broadcast campaign and drove a significant increase in summer bookings.
Integrated Campaigns
Most projects combine multiple channels. We build campaigns where TV drives awareness, digital captures intent, and direct mail closes the sale. Every piece works together toward a single business goal.
Trade Show & Event Marketing
Booth design, promotional materials, and pre/post-show campaigns that maximize your event ROI. We've helped Colorado companies stand out at industry events nationwide.
Why Most Advertising Fails
Most advertising doesn’t fail because the creative is bad. It fails because nobody tracks whether it worked. The ad runs, the invoice gets paid, and the business owner has no idea if those spots brought in a single customer.
We put call tracking numbers on broadcast. Unique URLs on print. Conversion pixels on digital. We show you exactly how many leads came from each channel, each week. If we can’t track it, we tell you upfront. That’s what separates a Denver advertising agency that measures results from one that just spends your budget.
Industries We Serve
We build advertising campaigns for Colorado businesses across these industries:
Multi-Unit Businesses (Franchises)
Consistent brand messaging across multiple locations with local market flexibility. Campaign frameworks that scale without losing local relevance.
Healthcare Providers
HIPAA-compliant patient acquisition campaigns. We've run advertising for hospital systems and specialty practices across Colorado, reaching patients when they're actively seeking care.
Tourism and Hospitality
Destination marketing for tourism boards, hotels, and attractions. We know how to reach travelers at the planning stage and convert interest into bookings
Transportation and Logistics
Targeted advertising that highlights reliability and efficiency. Campaigns built around the specific decision triggers for B2B logistics buyers.
Food and Beverage
Advertising for restaurants, chains, and food distributors. From grand opening campaigns to ongoing brand awareness across broadcast and digital.
Land Development and Home Building
Pre-sales and lease-up campaigns for developers and builders. We create advertising that generates qualified buyer and investor interest before and during construction.
Service-Oriented Businesses
Lead generation campaigns for service businesses that depend on phone calls and booked appointments. Advertising built to drive response, not just awareness.
HVAC Companies
Broadcast and direct mail campaigns that build trust and generate seasonal leads. We've helped Colorado HVAC companies scale from word-of-mouth to paid advertising with measurable ROI.
Small to Mid-Size Growth Businesses
Scalable advertising for businesses ready to grow beyond referrals. Budget-conscious media strategies, including remnant rate buying, that make professional advertising accessible.
Results
Colorado Healthcare System (Broadcast + Digital)
A regional hospital was losing market share to larger competitors with bigger ad budgets. They needed a campaign that positioned them as the preferred local alternative.
We developed a broadcast campaign focused on their key differentiator: shorter wait times and personalized care. TV spots ran during local news, supported by targeted digital ads reaching people searching for specific conditions.
Result: Significant increase in patient inquiries within 90 days. Cost per patient acquisition well below the client’s historical average.
Denver Home Services Company (TV + Direct Mail)
An HVAC company had relied on word-of-mouth for 15 years but needed to scale. They’d never run broadcast advertising and were skeptical about the investment.
We produced their first TV campaign, negotiated remnant rates to stretch the budget, and added direct mail to their highest-value zip codes.
Result: Strong call volume from TV in the first 60 days. Revenue from attributed leads significantly exceeded the media spend, delivering double-digit ROI.
Colorado Tourism Client (Regional Broadcast Campaign)
A mountain destination needed to drive summer bookings, traditionally their slow season. They were competing for attention against larger resort communities.
We created a regional TV and radio campaign targeting Denver metro, supported by digital video and retargeting. Creative focused on proximity and accessibility.
Result: Significant increase in summer bookings year-over-year. The campaign won recognition from the Colorado tourism industry.
Who Does the Work
You’ll work directly with senior strategists, not junior account managers.
David Drewitz (Founder) leads strategy and client relationships. He started Creative Options in 2009 after years on the agency and client side of advertising. He’s negotiated millions in media buys and knows which stations deliver and which ones don’t.
We’re a Denver advertising agency that’s small on purpose. That means you get our attention, not a handoff to whoever’s available.
Who This Isn't For
We’re not the right fit if you want the cheapest media rates with no strategy behind them.
We’re not the right fit if you need a huge agency with 50 people and a fancy downtown office.
We’re not the right fit if you want to run ads without tracking whether they actually work.
If you want a Denver advertising agency that treats your budget like their own money and shows you exactly what it produced, keep reading.

Questions We Get Asked
It depends on your goals and markets. A local TV campaign in Denver might start at $15,000-$25,000/month for meaningful frequency. Radio can be less. Direct mail depends on volume. We build custom plans based on your budget and goals, and we’ll tell you honestly what’s realistic for what you want to achieve.
We track everything we can. Call tracking numbers on broadcast, unique URLs on print, conversion pixels on digital. We show you exactly how many leads came from each channel. If we can’t track it, we’ll tell you upfront.
Broadcast advertising typically needs 8-12 weeks of consistent presence before you see meaningful lift. Some clients see phone calls in week one. It depends on your offer, your market, and your frequency. We set realistic expectations before we start.
We use remnant media buying: securing unsold airtime at 50-80% off rate card prices. Stations would rather sell inventory at a discount than let it go empty. We have relationships with Denver stations that give us first look at remnant inventory.
Yes. We integrate digital into most advertising campaigns. But we cover digital marketing in depth on a separate page.

Bigger agencies have more overhead, more layers, and more accounts per person. You might get a junior team learning on your budget. With us, you get direct access to the people doing the work. We’re selective about clients so we can give each one real attention.
Yes. If you have creative assets or a media plan from another agency, we can execute it. But we’ll also tell you if we think something could work better. We’re not yes-people.
