amplify your brand

and get creative with a full-service digital agency

where am i?

greetings. salutations. welcome to shplum.

Is it a planet? Is it a shoe made of plums? Is it both? Well, probably, but it’s also a full-service digital agency bringing together the best of a creative agency and a marketing agency. We specialize in web design, social media marketing, content creation, SEO, pay-per-click advertising, and all the fun stuff in between. But also, Shplum isn’t just a marketing agency (or a fruit, or a weird rock in space that defies the laws of quantum physics…) It’s an identity. It’s you. It’s me. It’s us. It’s an exciting journey that will take your brand to new heights.
Wow! The cars look like ants from up here.

but for real, here’s what we’re all about

creativity

We’re here to disrupt people’s doom scrolling with some content that gives their brains a nice little massage. Think outside the box? We don’t even have a box. We tossed that dreary, rectangular prison out of the window and wandered into the world of the delightfully unconventional.
Come with us, won’t you?!

customization

Like snowflakes, no two Shplums are alike – and in our minds, the same goes for businesses. That’s why we take a customized approach to marketing. We’ll work closely with you to understand your business, your goals, and your audience, and we’ll create a marketing plan that’s tailored to your needs (yes, even the financial ones).

results

At Shplum, we’re all about results. We’re not just here to create pretty websites and social media posts – we’re here to drive sales and help your business grow. You wanna know the truth? If you don’t grow, neither do we. It’s like a marriage of sorts.
Speaking of marriage…

relationships

We go to great lengths to forge connections that transcend the ordinary and lead to extraordinary results. Because we love you! Too much? Look, you can think of us as your trusted confidants, navigating all the ebbs and flows alongside you in the vast and ever-changing world of marketing. And speaking of change…

expertise

Everything’s changing so fast!!! AHHH!!!! Luckily, our team of marketing experts is always up-to-date with the latest trends and best practices. So you’re not just being tossed around aimlessly in a chaotic marketing purgatory. Instead, you’ll be soaring. Zip past those competitors. Let’s go.
In 2013, our founder unleashed an unbridled creative force that boosted a small business’ revenue by 10x in one single year. How? By producing and airing a zombified commercial during the number one rated show: The Walking Dead. The approach paid off big time, setting the stage for a wild ride of innovative marketing campaigns-

because small businesses don’t need to play it safe all the time. The more fun and creative the idea, the better.

which is why, a few years later, we did this:

Our favorite bagel shop wanted to showcase their absurdly massive menu, so we wrote this commercial, worked with our video production partners to film it, threw some jazz at it, and then released it on their Facebook, where it received over 30k views in one week, got people talking, and increased their customer base. It even landed us a gig with the salon next door. From bagels to beauty… we’ve got it covered.

and then this…

Our client was really obsessed with Property Brothers, so we took that and ran with it. And then we won 3 Telly Awards. In conjunction with a brand new website designed by yours truly (wait, who’s writing this?), we created an HGTV-inspired 4-part series that takes viewers through the journey of building a beach home with Harbaugh Custom Homes. We then built a robust social media campaign around the series, which brought an overwhelming response from prospective clients, accumulated 200,000+ views across social channels, and won 3 Telly Awards. Did we say that already?

and then our dreams came true…

…and we got real weird with it. The podcast Nobody Listens to Paula Poundstone has a loyal and loving audience, but Paula’s team wanted more engagement and a wider audience, so we put our heads together and made a plan. We started with a new website independent from Paula’s main website. A magical little world where visitors can find episodes, submit their cat to be the cat of the week, search for a missing survivalist, meet a worm named Catherine, donate a kidney, become a nobody, the possibilities are endless. Are you confused yet? Maybe you should visit the website and learn more. Maybe while you’re at it, check out the merch store we built and fulfilled with our in-house screenprinting and embroidery team.

how does one get shplummed?

discovery

Shplums are all about forming solid, long-term relationships - no flings here. Our team does extensive research to understand your business, your online presence, what your competition’s up to, what you’re crazy good at, and where you might want to step up the game. But also, we really listen to you. We ask you a lot of questions because we care about what makes your heart happy. After all, we’re all humans here (wink wink), and we all have souls. So let’s dream together! Maybe over some pancakes. Or virtual meatloaf. Whatever you prefer.

strategy

After the discovery phase, we brainstorm. We toss ideas around based on a combination of your immediate needs, your wildest dreams, what’s trending, and how we can throw some Shplums at what’s trending (because Shplums always have to be one step ahead). Maybe you need a fresh website, or maybe an SEO audit with a new strategy. Or you might just need some new content that pleasantly surprises your audience. Our ultimate goal is to get people pumped about your brand, to the point where they’ll wear your logo on their heads (we can make that happen too). We’ll package our ideas into a brand-focused pitch deck that speaks your language and lays out a plan of attack that makes sense for your timeline and your budget. We’ll answer your questions, listen to your feedback, and adjust accordingly.

And remember, at Shplum Creative, we’re all about collaboration, inclusion, and transparency. Our clients are in the loop through every step of the process to make sure we’re aligned and everyone’s happy as a clam Shplum.

execution

We’ve done the research, the brainstorming, our strategy is in place, the caffeine is flowing, and our team is a little too excited to piece this big beautiful puzzle together. We’ll be crafting captivating content and blasting our message to the masses through websites, social media, PPC ads, email, maybe even carrier pigeons if we’re feeling extra nostalgic… We’ll be tracking our progress, pivoting when necessary, but we won’t be high-fiving each other because Shplums hate high fives. We prefer dancing. ‘Cause your competitors don’t dance and if they don’t dance, well, they’re no Shplums of mine.

evaluation

Well, folks. We threw all the Shplums out there and now it’s time to see how they landed. Did we hit our goals? Is your audience talking? Did your social media posts generate enough buzz to power a small country? Are the right people clicking through your website? And why is that one lady from Tulsa always visiting your site at 3 am??? (go to bed, lady!) We’ll be celebrating our wins, improving where we can, and putting our best foot forward. Because we want to be your biggest cheerleaders. In fact, Shplums have been cheerleading since 1924. We’re very flexible.
