I've spent the last decade helping local businesses grow. Five of those years focused exclusively on dental practices - over 500 of them. I know what works, what used to work, and what agencies are still pretending works.
Here's the thing: if your marketing agency is using the same strategies from 2021, you're already behind. The landscape changes much more quickly now. What worked last year is already outdated.
At the big agencies, I watched great practices fail not because they weren't doing marketing, but because they were doing yesterday's marketing with tomorrow's budget.
Month-long approval processes for simple changes. Account managers juggling 90+ clients. Strategies based on what worked three years ago.
My husband Jeff has run Alien Artisan for 20 years, solving creative problems for brands like Bowflex and Nautilus. Last year, I joined him to bring that same problem-solving approach to dental practices.
We keep our client list small because real marketing requires real attention. I can test a new strategy by Tuesday, not next quarter. When something stops working, we pivot immediately. When your specific market needs something different, we do it.
I'm not here to sell you the same package everyone else gets. I'm here to figure out what actually works for your practice, in your market, with your patients. Then do that
Patient behavior changed dramatically in the 2020s. They search differently, choose differently, trust differently. I build strategies based on what's actually happening now, not what worked when your current agency built their playbook.
I only work with practices I can drive to. Why? Because Temecula isn't Riverside, and downtown isn't suburbs. Real research means understanding your actual neighborhood, your specific competition, your unique advantages.
Most agencies check campaigns monthly while budgets bleed daily. I look at your campaigns weekly. Catch problems before they become expensive. Test constantly. Adjust immediately. Answer my phone when you call.
Ten years taught me what doesn't work. Twenty years of Alien Artisan proves we know what does. But mostly, I know how to take what you have and make it work better. No massive overhauls needed - just smart adjustments based on real data.
