Strategic America is an employee-owned full-service marketing agency specializing in multi-location marketing, helping national brands win locally with data-driven strategies and compelling creative. Since 1980, they have delivered integrated digital, traditional, and PR services to drive growth for enterprise and mid-market clients.
Strategic America is an independent, employee-owned full-service marketing agency that has been helping brands "find a better way" since 1980. Headquartered in Des Moines, Iowa, the agency positions itself as a partner for enterprise and multi-location businesses navigating growth and evolution. With a team of 120+ associates and a 4.7 Semrush rating, Strategic America combines data-fueled strategy with creative execution to deliver integrated marketing programs that drive measurable results.
The agency's core differentiator is its deep specialization in multi-location marketing. For over 40 years, Strategic America has helped national brands win at the local level by aligning dealer and franchise networks with consistent brand messaging and scalable processes. Their service suite is truly full-service, spanning brand and creative strategy, digital advertising (PPC, social, display), SEO, website and UX design, email marketing, strategic communications and PR, data and analytics, and media planning/buying. They are certified partners for Google, Meta, and Amazon, and their work has earned recognition from the Hermes Creative Awards and Regional Emmys.
Pricing is project-based with a minimum budget of $2,500, making the agency accessible to mid-market and enterprise clients but potentially prohibitive for very small businesses. The agency works with clients of all sizes-small, mid, and enterprise-and has a geographic focus on the United States. Their industry expertise includes health & wellness, healthcare & hospital, and home services, though their multi-location capabilities extend to any sector with franchise or dealer networks.
Strategic America is best suited for regional or national brands that need to maintain brand consistency across multiple locations while adapting to local market nuances. Their employee-owned structure fosters a culture of accountability and long-term partnership, which is reflected in their client success stories-such as a unified dealer marketing program and a stroke awareness campaign for the American Heart Association. The agency's integrated approach means clients can rely on a single partner for everything from creative development to media buying and analytics.
While the agency's focus on the US market and relatively high minimum budget may limit its appeal for international or very small clients, its proven track record in multi-location marketing and its comprehensive service offering make it a strong contender for enterprise brands seeking a reliable, results-oriented partner. For companies looking to scale local marketing efforts without sacrificing brand integrity, Strategic America offers a compelling, data-driven solution.
