Meet Kevin MacConkey of ContentCollective Marketing in Downtown

Today we’d like to introduce you to Kevin MacConkey.

Kevin, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
I went to school for Marketing & Public Relations back in 2001. Through the years, I’ve used what I learned in college in my various positions though none were in a “marketing” field. Over the next 16 years, I worked as a chef, an artist & manager at a tattoo shop, and toured constantly as a musician. While none of my work was in marketing, I used it almost daily.

Fast forward to 2014, I began writing a blog on mindful living which evolved into my being an ordained spiritual & personal growth coach and building a following through my website & coaching platform, TheDailyKickstand.com.

In order to grow my reader-base and attract more clients to my coaching programs, I refreshed my knowledge of marketing and honed my copywriting & content creation skills. The marketing landscape had changed quite a bit since I have been in college, but undeterred I persisted and relearned what was needed to succeed.

In 2016, while working as a sales rep for financial services company & also doing side work as a freelance content creator & copywriter, I lost my home. Unable to get back and forth to work, I lost my full-time work and was struggling to maintain my freelance gigs.

Unable to find full-time employment, I began creating the concept for ContentCollective Marketing as a content & copywriting service. As I promoted myself and began to get more steady work, clients were asking if I knew anyone that could offer this service or that service.

Having a background in marketing and being a smart guy, I volunteered to do the work. They were pretty happy with the work.

Near the end of 2016 or beginning of 2017, I started to build a website to sell my work and decided to make ContentCollective Marketing a full-service marketing agency. Today we have a handful of clients on retainer and are continuing to expand our roster of clients.

We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
Of course not! But nothing ever is. You can have the best-laid plans, complete knowledge of your craft and be on top of the latest trends and techniques but there’s always variables that you can’t account for.

I struggled with the web host I chose to build my website with. They screwed me pretty hard, but I maintained my focus and drive. I taught myself to code a website and am in the process of building a robust, but user-friendly marketing platform that ContentCollective Marketing can offer our clients.

Challenges are going to come, smash through them or find a route around and get what’s yours. Or you can quit. But no one ever went anywhere by giving up. Today, I’m proud to help business owners to overcome their marketing challenges and find the success they dreamed of.

So, as you know, we’re impressed with ContentCollective Marketing – tell our readers more, for example what you’re most proud of as a company and what sets you apart from others.
ContentCollective Marketing is a full-service digital marketing solutions agency based in Phoenix, AZ. We’re a smaller agency with big ambitions and an even bigger desire to help business owners small and large to overcome the challenges they face in scaling their business.

We focus on increasing online visibility and brand awareness through organic marketing campaigns first and Paid Advertising second. Also, while most agencies seem to care only about the biggest of clients, we stay humble and love our local mom-and-pop clientele. We cater to the niche industries that most forget about. The businesses that are “too small” to register on some agencies radar is exactly the folks we want to help.

Being an artist, I have a soft-spot for the independent retailers, the niche stores that are the backbone of neighborhoods, and the storefronts that call some of the coolest neighborhoods in Phoenix home.

We will work with any sized company and we offer full customized campaigns or ala-carte marketing solutions, and we only offer a client what they need to achieve their goals on a budget they can afford.

So, what’s next? Any big plans?
We are always looking to expand and offer more services. We’ve got a few partnerships we’re working on building with some pretty awesome companies to offer our clients more quality marketing options.

Currently, we’re in the process of developing a cutting-edge marketing platform that will enable business owners to handle most of their marketing needs in-house easily. Of course, if they need us we’re only a phone call away.
