DJ Thielen

One Team, Every Channel
Most agencies do one thing. 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.

Serving Westlake Village and the surrounding area
Westlake Village is a high-ticket, high-intent market — luxury real estate, wealth management, executive coaching, concierge medical, and premium home services dominate. Buyers research carefully and won't tolerate a sloppy funnel; the marketing standard here is closer to enterprise B2B than local SMB.
Most Westlake agencies operate as boutique SEO or paid-ads shops at premium retainer pricing. We deliver the full funnel — site, SEO, paid, content, AI follow-up — under one roof at project-based pricing, which usually undercuts the bundled cost of three local specialists.
We're 10 minutes from Westlake. In-person discovery is standard for local clients.

Westlake's premium retainer model exists because clients are paying for senior strategy. Thrive Media keeps the senior strategy and drops the retainer.
Every agency above has strengths worth knowing about. Several Westlake and Calabasas boutiques have deep luxury-vertical experience if a single-channel specialist — not full-funnel ownership — 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.

Frequently asked questions
Questions Westlake Village businesses ask before working with us.
Is there a full-service digital marketing agency in Westlake Village?+
Several boutique Westlake agencies run single channels — primarily SEO or paid ads — at premium retainers. Thrive Media serves Westlake from Thousand Oaks (10 minutes east) and runs the entire funnel under one roof, project-based.
How does Thrive Media compare on price to Westlake boutiques?+
Local Westlake boutiques typically run $5,000–$15,000/month per channel as a retainer. Thrive Media scopes the full funnel as a project — usually below the bundled cost of two or three local specialists — and includes the AI follow-up agent.
What does a Westlake digital marketing engagement typically cost?+
$8,000–$25,000 covers a full-funnel build for a Westlake business (premium site, landing pages, ad creative, tracking, AI follow-up agent, content foundations). Paid spend layers on top once live. We quote flat, scoped to revenue target.
Which verticals do you have the most Westlake experience in?+
Financial and wealth management, luxury real estate, concierge medical, executive coaching, and premium home services. High-ticket / high-intent funnels are the bulk of our Westlake portfolio.
How long until results?+
Funnels live in 2–4 weeks. Paid signal in 2–3 weeks of launch. SEO compounds over 3–6 months. We report revenue weekly from week one.
Do you do in-person work in Westlake?+
Yes — kickoffs and major reviews at the client's office in Westlake or our Thousand Oaks studio. We're 10 minutes away.
Do we own everything if we stop working with you?+
Yes — site, ad accounts, audiences, content, automations, and the AI agent are all yours. No lock-in, no proprietary platform.
Can you take over from our existing boutique without losing momentum?+
Yes. Audit week is designed to preserve what's working and rebuild only what's broken — without dropping traffic or paid baselines.
