(Straight from our flamilia's mouth)
Angela Franco
(FORMER) President & CEO, DC Chamber
“I’ve known Pam & Mari for over 10 years. We hired them to plan, design, and relaunch BizBeat, the DC Chamber’s newsletter, to help elevate communications with our members. They jumped in and coordinated with my team to pull a lot of moving pieces together. I admire the high-level of professionalism, creativity, and warmth they bring to everything they do and recommend them for your next marketing projects.״
Francisco Gomez
CEO, Factum Global
“From the start of our engagement, they immersed themselves in our company’s business and culture to create a marketing strategy that was personalized and practical. As a small and growing international business, Captiva understood our challenges and constraints, and developed an inclusive strategy that was feasible for us to implement. We recommend the team at Captiva for their expertise, detail-oriented, and creative thinking. They are truly a pleasure to work with.״
Rob Summers
President & CEO, Veranos Group
“Working with Captiva was the best decision I made when launching my new company. Their attention to detail helped me capture the essence of how I wanted my company to be recognized. I cannot thank them enough for creating a “WOW” factor for VERANOS.”
Margaret Fowler
Executive Director, TLC-MD
“I am so appreciative of Captiva and don’t know where we would be without them! They have been amazing, committed and dedicated to helping us build our brand and our website like it was their own company. Thank you for all you have done for TLC-MD.”
Frequently Asked Questions
A marketing agency can help increase brand awareness, drive traffic to your website, generate leads, improve audience engagement, and ultimately boost sales and conversions through targeted marketing strategies.
Our agency is structured with employees plus a vetted group of senior contractors and experts who specialize in branding, marketing, and design. This structure helps us offer high-touch service, stay nimble and scale quickly by hiring top talent, and offer competitive pricing.
Almost every brand has experienced brand trauma. We want to rid the world of poor branding. When we work with brands, we discover that they’ve either:
1) Had a bad experience with another agency
2) Have brand identity confusion because they lack a clear brand strategy
3) Outgrown their old brand and need to take it to the next level but don’t know how.
We start every engagement with our BAQ. It’s Captiva’s signature detailed questionnaire where we evaluate your brand, short and long-term goals, target audience, messaging, marketing efforts, and offerings. This is crucial for optimizing and guiding our entire creative process.
While we have experience across various industries, we specialize in:
- Healthcare
- Education
- Energy
- Real Estate Development
- Technology
- Professional Services
It’s like having part-time expert marketers who help drive awareness, engagement, and revenue for your organization without the full-time price tag. But unlike a traditional CMO, we can also lead your marketing efforts and implement your strategy.
Typically it takes between 1-2 months depending on the scope of the project and the speed of client approvals.
A small to medium-size website typically takes 3-4 months depending on the complexity of the website and the speed of client approvals.
We are very responsive and maintain regular communication with our clients through scheduled meetings, email, and text (if applicable).
Our pricing varies based on the scope of the project and the specific services required. We offer customized packages tailored to meet your unique needs. Here’s an example of some of our packages:
Monthly Retainer: Starts at $2,500
Brand Audit: Starts at $3,500
Website Design & Development (small up to 5 custom pages): Starts at $15,000
Brand and marketing packages are highly customized to each client and vary widely based on the scope of work. Contact us for pricing.
