ABOUT BRAD JAMES CONSULTING
About Brad James Consulting
Big Picture Thinking. Local Market Focus.
Brad James Consulting was founded with one simple goal:
to bring big-agency strategy and local-business results under one roof.
With over a decade of experience leading media strategy for national brands, multi-location businesses, and local retailers, Brad James built this consultancy to help businesses grow—without the waste, overhead, or retainers that usually come with traditional agencies.
We believe smart marketing doesn’t have to be complicated. It has to be measurable, efficient, and focused on what matters most: visibility, trust, and foot traffic.
A Decade of Media Experience, Refined for Local Impact
Before launching Brad James Consulting, Brad spent more than ten years managing paid media at the agency level—running campaigns across paid search, paid social, programmatic, CTV, OOH, radio, and digital channels for major clients and national retailers.
That experience shaped his approach to what truly drives results:
alignment between brand exposure and local discoverability.
By combining media buying expertise with local SEO and reputation management, Brad helps businesses not only get seen—but chosen.
From local restaurants and dispensaries to service providers and multi-location franchises, his strategies bridge the gap between digital engagement and real-world traffic.
The Philosophy: No Retainers. No Red Tape. Just Results.
Unlike traditional agencies, Brad James Consulting operates on a campaign-based model.
No monthly retainers. No hourly billing. No long-term contracts.
You activate us only when you need us—and when you do, you get a fully dedicated media partner focused entirely on performance.
We call it big-picture marketing with small-business sensibility:
transparent, efficient, and designed to make every dollar count.
