We’re a full-service marketing agency focused on commercial real estate. Based in Kansas City, we offer everything from performance marketing, social media management, and SEO to event planning, videography, and photography. Our clients include developers, subcontractors, architects, engineers—anyone who touches the CRE space. We tailor our strategies to help them grow their visibility and impact.
What sets us apart is our niche focus and our commitment to real, on-site content. In an era of AI-generated graphics, we believe real people, real projects, and real storytelling are more powerful than ever. We don’t sit back behind a screen—we’re out on job sites capturing what makes our clients unique. That authenticity builds trust, and trust drives results.
Accelerent has opened doors I wouldn’t have found anywhere else. From introductions that led to key partnerships to strategic advice from more seasoned business leaders, the network has become a real resource. I’ve learned a ton—not just about growing our business, but about how to lead better, handle challenges, and build long-term relationships. It’s helped me grow professionally just as much as it’s helped the company grow.
I’ve referred an estimated $5 to $10 million in opportunity to other partners. That includes large development introductions, multi-million-dollar bid referrals, and connections that opened doors with developers, city leaders, and major regional firms. Whether it was Luke Draily, Travis Wilson, NCRI, or Watchmen Security—I’ve seen those introductions create real traction.
We’ve earned close to $200,000 in revenue since joining Accelerent a year and a half ago. That includes a mix of one-off projects and recurring work, with $10,000 to $15,000 in monthly recurring revenue today.
If you’re going to join Accelerent, lean in all the way. The more you give, the more you get—so show up, build relationships, and be a resource. Especially for younger business owners like me, Accelerent is more than a referral platform. It’s a community where you can ask questions, get advice, and build trust with people who’ve been where you’re trying to go. And one more thing: don’t show up just to sell Accelerent partners. That never comes across well. Lead with value, and the results will follow.
This only works if you commit. Accelerent has been a major driver of our growth, but it’s because we’ve treated it as a system—not a side hustle. You have to show up, follow through, and be part of the community. That’s how you build trust—and trust is what makes everything else possible.
