Strategy first, never guesswork
Every engagement opens with research, intent mapping, and a 90-day plan you can actually read. If we can't explain why we're doing something, we don't do it.
About us
The agency we wished existed, so we built it.
Elevative Creative exists because too many service businesses have been burned by marketing: locked into contracts, held hostage by agencies that own their website, and buried in dashboards instead of results. We run things differently — on purpose.
(01) What we believe
Three rules we don't bend.
Custom work, not templates
No recycled themes, no boilerplate funnels, no account manager reading from a script. Everything is built around your services, your service area, and your customers.
You own everything
Your website, domain, ad accounts, content, and data live in your name from day one. We work month-to-month and earn the renewal — a partner, never a hostage situation.
(02) Who we are
Owner-led, built in-house.
Elevative Creative was founded by Mike Wallerich and is headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, with clients across the country. We're deliberately not a mega-agency: when you call, you talk to the people doing the work — not a coordinator three layers away from your campaigns. And because the work is search data, ad accounts, and websites, it travels perfectly — we serve home-service businesses in all 50 states.
We work with home-service businesses — roofing, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and their neighbors — because that's where we can win: trades where local visibility, reviews, and a converting website directly decide who gets the job. While the big consolidators absorb each other and spread their account managers thinner, we'd rather stay close to the work and close to our clients.
(03) Working together
What an engagement looks like.
A real conversation
We start with a strategy call about your business, your market, and what growth you actually want — no pitch deck, no pressure.
A plan in writing
You get a clear 90-day plan: what we'll do, why, and how we'll measure it. If we're not the right fit, we'll say so and point you somewhere better.
Work you can verify
Month-to-month engagement, transparent reporting in plain English, and assets accumulating in your name. We keep the work; you keep everything else.
