We build the website, run the SEO, manage the paid ads, write the content, and stand up the AI follow-up — as one integrated system, not five vendors stitched together. ### No Monthly Retainer Project-based pricing. No $3,000–$10,000/month retainer. You scope what you need, we ship it, you own it. ### AI Built In, Not Bolted On Every campaign we run is paired with an AI follow-up agent that contacts leads inside 60 seconds — the single biggest reason our funnels outperform. ### Measured in Revenue We report on revenue, pipeline, and cost per acquisition — not impressions or rankings. If a channel isn't earning, we shut it down. ### You Own Everything Site, ad accounts, audiences, content, automations, AI agents — all yours. No proprietary platform lock-in. ### 10+ Years, $35M+ Generated Over a decade of full-funnel work across home services, real estate, e-commerce, professional services, and AI-native startups.

Marketing that wins in LA isn't about more spend — it's about funnel discipline: tighter creative-to-landing-page match, faster lead handling, and a real handoff between channels. Most LA agencies sell a single channel and let you stitch the rest together. We work across Greater LA from Thousand Oaks. The strongest segments of our LA portfolio are e-commerce and DTC, real estate, entertainment-adjacent professional services, and high-volume local lead-gen. The common factor is funnels where shaving 10% off cost per acquisition is worth more than any new channel — that's where full-funnel work compounds. We travel to LA for kickoffs and quarterly strategy. Most ongoing work runs remotely. Industries we serve in Los Angeles E-commerce & DTC brands Real estate & brokerages Entertainment-adjacent professional services Healthcare & wellness Home services at scale B2B & SaaS Adjacent cities served Beverly Hills Santa Monica Pasadena Long Beach Glendale San Fernando Valley ## Who else offers digital marketing in Los Angeles? We think you should know your options. Here's an honest read of the local market. Agency Delivery Tech AI capability Pricing You own it? Large LA agency networks Department silos Enterprise stack Add-on only $10K–$50K+/mo retainer Limited LA paid-media boutiques Single channel, deep Ad mgmt platforms None $5K–$15K/mo retainer Partial LA SEO specialists SEO-only WordPress + SEO tooling None $3K–$10K/mo retainer Partial National Digital Marketing Firms Templated playbooks Off-the-shelf stack None $5K–$15K/mo retainer Limited Thrive Media Recommended One team, every channel Custom site + AI stack AI follow-up agent included Project-based (no retainer) Yes — accounts, data, assets LA's specialist model exists because senior talent is expensive. Thrive Media keeps the senior talent and drops the retainer — and stitches the channels together so the funnel actually compounds. > Every agency above has strengths worth knowing about. LA paid-media boutiques and large agency networks have legitimate senior talent and category depth if a single specialist channel is the priority. The distinction is delivery model, tech stack, and AI capability — and on those dimensions, the comparison is clear. ## What does full-service digital marketing cost? Most agencies charge a flat monthly retainer regardless of output. We charge for the scoped work — and you keep everything. DIY / Freelancers Stitched Together Hidden cost Coordination tax - Five vendors that don't talk to each other - No single owner of revenue outcomes - You become the project manager - Channels optimized in isolation, not as a funnel Traditional Full-Service Agency $3,000–$10,000+/mo Retainer + % of spend - Long-term contracts - You pay even when output is thin - Creative, landing pages, automation often billed separately - Junior staff on your account, senior staff in the pitch Recommended Thrive Media · Full-Funnel Project-based Revenue-focused. - Site, SEO, ads, content, AI — one team - No retainer, no long-term contract - AI follow-up agent included - Reported on revenue, not impressions - You own the accounts, data, and assets [Get a Free Marketing Audit](/contact) You'll get a clear, flat quote on your first call — not after a two-week proposal process. ## Frequently asked questions Questions Los Angeles businesses ask before working with us.
