Who you’ll work with

Hi, we’re Cale and Carly.

We started Crew Marketing in Stillwater because we kept seeing great local businesses get overlooked online. Their work was good. They just didn’t have the time or the team to show it.

We keep Crew small on purpose. We take on a limited number of clients so we can know each business well, answer quickly, and treat your social media like it’s our own.

FAQ

Questions we hear a lot

How much does Crew Marketing cost?

Monthly plans start at $750. Your price depends on how many platforms we manage, how often we post, how much video you need, and whether we run paid ads. Ad spend is paid directly to the platform and is separate from our fee. See pricing.

Where is Crew Marketing located?

We’re based in Stillwater, Minnesota. We work with businesses in Stillwater, the St. Croix Valley, and across the Twin Cities metro, and we can meet in person when that helps.

Who will actually work on my account?

Cale and Carly, the two founders. There are no account managers or hand-offs. The people you meet on the strategy call are the people doing the work.

What kinds of businesses do you work with?

Mostly home service businesses and contractors, local retail and restaurants, real estate and mortgage professionals, and health, wellness, and med spa businesses.

What services do you offer?

Social media management, content creation (graphics, short-form video, photo direction, and captions), and paid social ads on Facebook and Instagram.

Why work with a small studio instead of a bigger agency?

You get senior people on your account every month, faster answers, and someone who knows the local market. Larger Minneapolis agencies often charge $3,000–$10,000 a month and assign accounts to junior staff.

Which platforms do you manage?

Usually Facebook and Instagram, plus Google Business Profile posts, LinkedIn, or TikTok when they fit your customers. We’d rather do two platforms well than five poorly.

How long until we see results?

Most clients see more engagement and reach within the first 30 days. Steady inbound leads usually build over 60–90 days of consistent posting. Paid ads can start bringing in leads in the first few weeks.
