A creative marketing agency.

We provided marketing & creative support to UCF's GrowFl program and second stage companies across the country.

About the Client

GrowFL is the official Economic Gardening program of the State of Florida and is managed by the University of Central Florida. Economic Gardening is based on the  fundamental idea that entrepreneurs drive economies. Economic Gardening programs  provide valuable information, insights and resources to support the growth of second stage companies.  Second stage companies are defined as those with over $1 million in revenue and 10 or more employees. GrowFl also manages the Florida Companies to Watch program each year, which celebrates the top second stage growth companies in the state.

Our Work & Results

In 2010 Brand Advance was awarded the sole contract to support Florida second stage companies through digital marketing consulting. Since 2010 Brand Advance has worked with over 600 Florida companies providing them with insights to grow their sales, improve their website conversion rate, increase their visibility in search engines, and leverage social media. Brand Advance delivered such good results that in 2011 they were hired by the National Economic Gardening Center to provide digital marketing consulting to companies across the Country. Since then Brand Advance marketing specialists have worked with companies in Arizona, New York, Ohio, Indiana, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Kansas, and other states.

Brand Advance was also hired by GrowFl to enhance their branding and website. The brand image improvement also included the tagline “Taking Successful Companies to the Next Level”. The website was built using WordPress as the back end content management system and included the development of a variety of custom post types to easily add events, sponsor logos, and team members.
