No sales deck. Just the first three moves we would make.

02 β€” Why us

A new kind of agency. One that builds.

We don't just buy ads β€” we build the systems that make the ads smarter, and the operations they feed back into.

  • 01

    See your real ROI β€” not vanity metrics

    A live client dashboard that tracks every dollar through the entire pipeline β€” ad click to call to closed sale. Not impressions and clicks. Actual revenue against actual spend, updated automatically.

  • 02

    One team β€” strategy, build, execution

    Your ads team, your dev team, your AI team, and your reporting team are the same team. No β€œwe’ll need to loop in another vendor.”

  • 03

    AI-native, not AI-bolted-on

    We built our own AI agents to run our own operations. Then we deploy them for you β€” tuned to your inventory, your leads, your workflows.

  • 04

    Everything we build, compounds

    Every project leaves behind a working tool. The inventory feed we built for one client now powers their weekly deals, their vehicle ads, and their dashboards. Next quarter it'll power one more thing.

03 β€” Featured work

Client programs, not campaigns.

Every engagement runs on the same marketing + technology pattern β€” ads that fill the pipeline, and systems that make the whole operation faster.

04 β€” What we do

Marketing + technology, under one roof.

Most agencies stop at β€œwe'll run your ads.” We start there and keep going β€” until your business has tools that outlive any one campaign.

    Mandeville-based, US-based

    Direct line to the people doing the work. Real accountability. No offshore handoff.

09 β€” How we work

How a retained partnership with Blue Oak works.

We're not a project shop and we're not a productized subscription. You retain our team on a predictable monthly retainer; we keep the strategy, the build, and the execution running.

  1. 01Week 1

    Discovery

    20-min intro call, then a working session. Ad accounts, analytics, CMS, CRM, current vendors β€” full picture.

  2. 02Week 2

    Audit + plan

    Findings doc + 90-day plan. Real recommendations, prioritized, with effort and impact.

  3. 03Week 3

    First builds live

    Campaigns refactored, content pipeline turned on, first automation shipped. We start earning the retainer from month 1.

  4. 04Month 2+

    Ongoing partnership

    Monthly reporting, quarterly strategy review, continuous build. Scope flexes inside the retainer.

Terms: 90-day initial term, month-to-month after. Everything we build lives in your accounts. No annual contract, no proprietary lock-in.

10 β€” The honest part

What you're probably thinking.

We've heard these from every prospect that ends up signing. So we'll answer them up front.

  • Agencies always overpromise. How do I know you'll do what you say?
    Every Blue Oak account has a real person on it from Mandeville. We send a monthly report in plain English with the actual numbers β€” not a 40-page PDF. If a campaign isn't working, you'll hear it from us before you ask.
  • I don't want a generalist agency that does a little of everything.
    We work in five verticals on purpose: powersports, home services, hospitality, ecommerce, professional services. Inside each one we have a playbook we've already shipped β€” not a Notion doc we'll customize for you.
  • AI agencies all feel like marketing for AI. What do you actually build?
    We built our own AI agent to run our own ops, and four others for clients in production today. Section 4 of this page is screenshots, not slides.
  • What does β€œretained partnership” mean? Am I locked in?
    Month-to-month after a 90-day initial term. No annual contract, no auto-escalating fees. If we stop earning the retainer, you stop paying it.
  • I already have a website / ad account / Basecamp. Are you going to make me start over?
    No. We meet your tools where they are. We've inherited every flavor of Webflow, WordPress, Shopify, Basecamp, GBP, Meta Ads Manager, and Google Ads MCC β€” and kept the ones working.
  • How fast does anything actually happen?
    Discovery week 1. Audit + plan delivered week 2. First campaign or build live week 3. We don't disappear into a 6-month onboarding.
  • What if I want to leave?
    Everything we build for you β€” ad accounts, websites, AI agents, automations β€” lives in your accounts. We hand over the keys, not the ladder.
  • How much does this cost?
    Retained partnerships start in the low-mid four figures monthly and scale with the work. We'll quote yours after a 20-min call. No public tiers because no two clients buy the same stack.
  • Will I actually talk to the person doing the work?
    Yes. Blue Oak is a small Mandeville team. You will know the names of the people on your account by week 2.
11 β€” The team

A small Mandeville team that builds.

Blue Oak Media is Zak Wright, Kimberly Wright, Tyler, Haley, and an AI agent we built named Wutterbean. We run marketing programs for around a dozen clients across powersports, home services, hospitality, ecommerce, and professional services β€” and we ship the software that makes those programs work.

13 β€” FAQ

Common questions.

  • Are you a marketing agency or a software company?
    Both. We run paid media, SEO, content, email, and websites β€” and we build AI agents, automations, dashboards, and inventory systems on top of them. That's the wedge.
  • What industries do you specialize in?
    Powersports, home services, hospitality, ecommerce, and professional services. Inside each one we have shipped playbooks.
  • Where are you based?
    Mandeville, Louisiana. US-based, in-house team. No offshore handoff.
  • Do you work with clients outside Louisiana?
    Yes. Most of the work is remote anyway. The Louisiana base just means a direct line and same-timezone responsiveness.
  • Do you publish pricing?
    No, because no two clients buy the same stack. Retainers start in the low-mid four figures monthly and scale with the work. We quote yours after a 20-min call.
  • What's the commitment?
    90 days initial, then month-to-month. No long contracts.
  • What happens to the AI agents and automations you build for us?
    They live in your accounts. If we ever part ways, you keep them.
  • Will I get a dedicated person, or a "team"?
    A real named person plus the team behind them. You'll know who's on your account by week 2.
  • Can you take over an existing site / ad account / Basecamp?
    Yes. We've inherited every flavor. We don't make clients start over.
  • How fast can we start?
    Discovery week 1, plan week 2, first build live week 3.
