Trusted by Denver businesses since 2009

Social media marketing in Denver works when it's built on local data, not national templates. Social media marketing includes paid campaigns, organic content, community management, and performance measurement tied to leads and revenue. We've spent 16 years learning what actually moves the needle for Denver businesses, from Capitol Hill coffee shops to Tech Center B2B firms across Denver, Colorado. The playbook is different for each one. We serve businesses across Denver and the surrounding metro, including Lakewood, Littleton, Aurora, and Arvada.

We offer full-service marketing in Denver and plan, produce, and optimize social programs across Meta, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, and YouTube. We've managed $2.3M+ in social ad spend across 100+ campaigns since 2009.

What separates our approach: we run weekly creative tests, build audiences by Denver neighborhood, and give you a live dashboard with 24/7 access. No monthly PDFs. No guessing. You see what's working on Tuesday, not in a report 30 days later.
The Problem We Solve

Why Choose a Denver Social Media Marketing Agency?

Denver businesses that invest in local social media marketing with weekly testing and neighborhood-level targeting see faster results than those using national agencies with monthly review cycles.

A local retailer in SE Denver asked us a blunt question: “Can social actually move revenue?” We proved it could. Within 8 weeks, foot traffic was up 34% and the account was profit-positive by month 3.

That result didn’t come from a template. It came from pairing neighborhood-level audiences with smart creative and a weekly testing cadence. We swapped product shots for customer videos on day 21. Engagement tripled within the first test cycle. Cost per lead dropped by the end of month one.

This is what social media advertising in Denver looks like when someone actually manages it.

We work with SMB and mid-market teams across retail, restaurants, healthcare, professional services, home services, and B2B technology. Our clients run the full range, from single-location shops in Cherry Creek to multi-location operations across the Denver metro area.

How we produced these results:

  • Faster learning cycles through weekly creative tests
  • Lower CPL through creative sequencing and audience refinement
  • Clear handoffs to your sales team with clean UTM tracking
  • Live dashboards that everyone on your team can read

How We Work

How Social Media Marketing Works for Denver Businesses

Most agencies build one audience, run one set of ads, and review performance once a month. That’s why most social media programs fail.

We work differently. Here’s the actual process:

01

Week 1: Audience and Platform Mapping

We map your Denver audience by neighborhood and buying stage. A Capitol Hill consumer doesn’t see the same message as a DTC executive. We identify which platforms your buyers actually use and build a 90-day KPI framework tied to your revenue goals, not vanity metrics.

02

Week 2: Creative Launch

We produce your first round of ad creative and organic content. Every campaign launches with at least 3 creative variants so we have data from day one.

03

Weeks 3-4: First Test Cycle

We analyze the first two weeks of data and make our first creative swap. This is where most agencies are still in “setup mode.” We’re already optimizing.

04

Ongoing: Weekly Tests, Monthly Reports

Every week, we test a new variable: headline, image, audience segment, placement. You see results in your live dashboard. Monthly, we send a written summary with recommendations for the next 30 days.

Your SEO, PPC, and content marketing should connect to your social channels. We build social programs that feed your full funnel, not operate in a silo.

How social media marketing works in Denver: A local agency maps your audience by neighborhood and buying stage, launches creative with multiple variants, runs weekly tests to lower cost per lead, and reports results through a live dashboard. The best programs combine paid and organic social across 2-3 platforms matched to your industry.

  • We don’t send monthly PDFs and call it “reporting.” You get a live dashboard.

  • We don’t use national templates. Every campaign is built for Denver.
  • We don’t hand you off to a junior account manager. David Drewitz is your strategist.

Platform Strategy

Which Social Media Platforms Work for Denver Businesses?

Not every platform is right for every business. Here’s how we typically map platforms for Denver clients:

Meta (Facebook + Instagram)

Best for: Retail, restaurants, home services, healthcare. Strong for neighborhood-level geo-targeting and retargeting. Most Denver SMBs start here because the audience data is the richest.

LinkedIn

Best for: B2B, professional services, SaaS, recruiting. We run campaigns using different LinkedIn advertising formats for Tech Center firms targeting decision-makers by job title, company size, and industry. LinkedIn’s cost per click is higher, but for many B2B teams the leads convert at a higher rate than Meta.

TikTok

Best for: Restaurants, retail, events, brands targeting under-40 audiences. TikTok’s algorithm rewards creative that feels native to the platform, not repurposed Instagram content. We produce platform-specific video for TikTok.

YouTube

Best for: Education-heavy sales cycles, brand awareness, retargeting. We use YouTube for mid-funnel content that supports conversion, not as a standalone lead gen channel.

Pinterest

Best for: Home services, interior design, wedding vendors, food and beverage. Lower competition than Meta, and users on Pinterest tend to be closer to a buying decision.

We manage all five and recommend the right mix based on your audience, budget, and goals.

Pricing

How Much Does Social Media Marketing Cost in Denver?

Most Denver SMBs invest $3,500-$6,000/month for full-service social media marketing. That includes strategy, content creation, paid media management, and reporting. Ad spend is separate and paid directly to the platform.

Enterprise and multi-location programs are available at custom rates. Every program is built to your specific goals and budget.

Typical social media marketing cost in Denver: Full-service social media marketing for Denver SMBs runs $3,500-$6,000/month, covering strategy, content, paid management, and reporting. Ad spend is additional. Cost varies by platform count, creative needs, and campaign scope.

Choose us if you want a Denver agency that tests weekly, reports in real time, and works month-to-month. Not a fit if you want a set-it-and-forget-it agency or need someone to just schedule posts without strategy. If your budget is under $750/month for management, we’re probably not the right fit.

If you’re not sure how much to spend on marketing overall, that’s a conversation we can have during the evaluation. We’ll tell you where social fits into your total budget.

Common Questions

FAQs: Denver Business Owners Ask About Social Media Marketing

Most Denver SMBs invest $3,500-$6,000/month for full-service social media marketing. That covers strategy, content creation, paid social management, and live reporting. Ad spend is separate and paid directly to the platform. Your actual cost depends on the number of platforms, ad spend level, and creative needs. We’ll give you a specific quote during your free evaluation.
We handle everything from strategy and audience research to content creation, ad management, community engagement, and performance reporting. You get a 30-day content calendar, weekly creative tests, paid campaign optimization, and a live dashboard showing your CPL and conversion rates. Your team focuses on running the business while we run the social program.
Expect early signals within 2-4 weeks: engagement changes, audience response patterns, and initial cost per lead data. Clear trend lines typically form by 6-8 weeks. Profit-positive results for most clients come by month 3, depending on your industry and starting point.
Most winning programs combine both. Organic builds your brand and keeps your audience engaged. Paid puts your offer in front of people who don’t follow you yet. We typically recommend starting with paid to generate quick data, then layering in organic content as your calendar builds. According to HubSpot’s 2025 Social Media Marketing Report, the highest-performing programs use paid and organic together. Your SEO services for Denver businesses should support both channels.
It depends on your audience and industry. Meta works for most local businesses. LinkedIn is the go-to for B2B and professional services in the Tech Center. TikTok performs well for restaurants, retail, and brands targeting under-40 audiences. We’ll recommend the right mix during your evaluation, and we won’t push platforms that don’t fit.
UTMs, conversion pixels, GA4 event tracking, and direct attribution through your CRM. Every lead is tagged so you can trace it back to the specific campaign, creative, and audience segment that generated it. You see all of this in your live dashboard, not in a summary 30 days later.
Most failed social programs share three problems: poor targeting, generic creative, and no testing cadence. We fix all three in the first week. You’ll see what’s working and what’s not in your live dashboard from day one. If your previous agency was sending monthly PDFs and running the same ads for months, that’s likely why it didn’t work.
