“Far too often, agencies fail to see the forest for the trees – that the best way to grow the agency long-term is by treating clients’ accounts as if they were their own, obsessing first and foremost about driving true, incremental growth by treating clients as partners. When I founded EK Creative, my goal wasn’t to build a great agency. In fact, it was the opposite. I wanted to build the anti-agency. That’s how I knew that EXCLUSIVE was the right home for EK Creative – Scott Smigler and his team have been driven by these values since he started the company 26 years ago. He and the EXCLUSIVE team don’t want to build an agency; they want to change the industry and create a future for digital marketing that challenges the status quo.”One of the things that makes Ethan and his team special is that they don’t just talk the talk, they walk the walk. Their work with Willow Boutique is a great example of that. Prior to engaging EK Creative, Willow averaged just $6K per month in sales. Only four months into their partnership with EK Creative, they hit $100K/month, and now, a year and a half later, they’re generating over $500K in sales each month. Talking about growth! They didn’t do that through clever bidding strategies, they did that by understanding their client’s target market and developing engaging and authentic creative, and scaling it across the most popular social media channels. I can’t wait to bring the new capabilities EK Creative has built to our clients, along with their innovative spirit. Together, we continue on our mission to help our clients advance as we become the most impactful digital marketing partner in the United States. Together with Highnoon, who joined forces with Exclusive in 2022, and our recently announced partner, REQ, we will do just that. Scott Smigler President and Founder Exclusive Concepts
