Hear it from them.
CASE STUDY 1 · DESIGN/REAL ESTATE
Boutique Homes
- 700 → 25K followers
- Millions of views
- Revenue nearly doubled year over year
Amanda isn’t a typical realtor. She guides her clients through building a new home from the ground up, and her eye for design is a big part of why people trust her with the biggest purchase of their lives. The problem was that almost nobody outside her circle knew it. Her talent was real, but her online presence didn’t come close to showing it.
We built her into the go-to name for new construction in the Quad Cities. We developed a short-form video strategy that put her expertise and personality front and center, and we pushed her to keep leveling up her content. Then we backed it with a full Meta ad funnel: video ads, lead forms, and automated follow-up in her CRM, so new leads heard from her right away.
Her following grew from 700 to more than 25,000, her videos have pulled in millions of views, and her revenue nearly doubled year over year. In her words, the content has “directly made me a significant amount of money.”
CASE STUDY 2 · HOMEBUILDER
Built QC
- $110K job closed in the first 21 days
- 25x return on investment
- Now one of the busiest builders in the area
When Adam came to us, Built QC was brand new. He had the skills and the work ethic to build great homes, but no brand, no online presence, and no reason yet for homeowners to pick a new name over the builders they’d already heard of.
So we built that from the ground up. We developed the Built QC brand and created a steady stream of video content that showed homeowners who Adam is, how he works, and the quality he puts into every build. Instead of a startup nobody knew, Built QC quickly became a name people recognized and trusted.
The system paid for itself almost immediately. Within his first 21 days, Adam closed a $110,000 job from the campaign. That’s not a long-term projection or a pile of vanity metrics. It’s one booked job that covered the investment many times over.
Today, Built QC is one of the busiest home builders in the area, and the company is booming.
"Heartland Creative Agency is an absolute game-changer. Phil Dodds is unreal — so much value packed into one human it should honestly be illegal. 😂 He keeps me on my toes (in the best way), pushes me to level up my content, and isn't afraid to tell me when something needs to be redone — which is exactly why the results are so good. The content he helps create has directly made me a significant amount of money, and that alone speaks volumes. Marketing and video matter more than ever, and Phil truly gets it. He's always improving, always thinking ahead, and always adding value to my business. Hiring Heartland Creative Agency has been one of the best investments I've made for my company. If you're on the fence… this is your sign. 🚀"
"Very pleased with Heartland Creative Agency! Phil and his team are great to work with. They definitely make it easy for business owners and can tailor the marketing plan to whatever you may need. Thank you HCA!"
