A marketing consultant, not another agency.

Most Columbus companies looking for marketing help start by searching for an agency. Agencies are built for scale: account managers, junior specialists and retainers sized to cover the overhead.

WolfeDen Marketing is built differently. I'm Matthew James Wolfe, an engineer turned marketer. You work directly with me, from strategy to the last line of tracking code.

  • No hand-offs. The strategy and the execution come from the same person.
  • No padding. You pay for senior work, not for a team's learning curve.
  • No black box. You see the same numbers I see.

What I do for B2B companies.

Channels are tools, not strategies. I start with the outcome you need, then use the few channels that get you there.

  • Paid media. Google, LinkedIn, Meta and YouTube campaigns with tight audiences, clear signals and budgets that learn.
  • CRM and data. HubSpot build-up: lead capture, lifecycle stages, attribution and reporting your sales team will actually use.
  • Positioning. Who you're for, what you fix and why you're different, in language your buyers understand.
  • Organic and AI search. SEO, AEO and GEO, so you show up in Google and in answers from ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity.
  • Website builds. Fast, search-ready Webflow sites built to capture leads, track every conversion and feed your CRM.

Results, not adjectives.

  • A B2B weather intelligence company: 37 keywords cut to 3, 34 conversions from zero, a verified $230,400 contract and 12.9x return on ad spend. Read the case study.
  • A global logistics company: $9K of wasted ad spend found and cut, then 50% more leads in three months on the smaller budget.
  • A B2B podcast and media company: 25.9M impressions and 553K YouTube views at a $6 CPM. Read the case study.

How we work together.

  1. Diagnose. A strategy call, then an audit of your ads, tracking, CRM and website. You get a short list of what's working, what's broken and what to turn off.
  2. Plan. One audience. One problem. One outcome. A plan with targets you can hold me to.
  3. Build and run. Campaigns, tracking, pages and CRM workflows, built and launched by me.
  4. Measure and tune. Clear reporting and one variable tested at a time. Every dollar learns.

Why hire a Columbus marketing consultant?

Being local still helps. We can sit down in Columbus instead of trading video calls with a rotating account team. And when you need to move fast, there's no agency queue.

I work with companies across Central Ohio, from Downtown and the Short North to Dublin, Westerville, Worthington, Hilliard and New Albany, and with B2B teams well beyond Ohio.

Frequently asked questions.

What does a marketing consultant do?

A marketing consultant finds what's holding your growth back and fixes it. At WolfeDen, that means auditing your ads, tracking, CRM and website, building a plan, and then doing the work, not just handing over a slide deck.

Should I hire a marketing consultant or a marketing agency?

If you need high-volume production across many channels, an agency may fit. If you need senior strategy and hands-on execution in the few channels that matter, a consultant is usually faster and leaner.

Do you only work with Columbus companies?

No. I'm based in Columbus, Ohio and work with B2B companies in Ohio and across the US. Local clients can meet in person.

How much does a marketing consultant cost?

Engagements are scoped to the work, from a one-time audit or website build to ongoing monthly support. Book a call and you'll get a clear quote.

How fast will I see results?

Paid media and tracking fixes usually show up within weeks. SEO and AI search take longer, typically three to six months.
