A Digital Marketing Agency for Small Business Owners Who Are Done Winging It
You didn't start a business to become a full-time social media manager. You started it to build something that matters.
We're the marketing agency for small businesses that handles the digital side so you can focus on what you're actually good at.
Marketing Shouldn't Be Your Second Full-Time Job
Here's the reality: you're working 60-hour weeks running your business. Customer service, operations, finances, putting out fires—and somewhere in there, you're supposed to be posting on Instagram, optimizing your website, and figuring out why your Google ranking dropped.
Something's gotta give. And usually, it's marketing.
The result? Your competitors—the ones with actual marketing budgets—keep showing up while you stay invisible. Not because you're worse at what you do. Because they've got help and you're still trying to DIY everything.
That's where we come in. We're a digital marketing agency for small business owners who have figured out that their time is worth more than the hours they'd spend learning algorithms.
Why Small Businesses Choose Purple Wave Creative
We Actually Understand Small Business
We're not a big agency that treats small businesses as an afterthought. We work exclusively with businesses like yours—owners who are building something real without Fortune 500 budgets.
That means we know:
You can't wait six months to see results

You need a partner, not a vendor who disappears after the invoice
We Handle It So You Don't Have To
Our small business marketing services aren't about teaching you to fish. They're about fishing for you—consistently, professionally, while you run your actual business.
We Give a Damn About Your Success
This isn't transactional for us. When you win, we win. That's why we focus on results that matter—leads, customers, revenue—not vanity metrics that look good in reports but don't pay your bills.
