Book Your Strategy Call

You’re Doing All The Things. And Still Wondering: “Is This Working?”

Here’s what we know about you

You’re posting on social media because everyone says you should.

You’re running ads - but not not reallly sure they’re paying off

Your website exists, but it’s not really doing much for you.

You’ve hired people to “help with marketing” but can’t correlate the efforts back to ROI

And here’s the thing that keeps you up at night:

You’re Investing money, time, and energy into marketing….and you can’t confidently say it’s moving the needle.


Sound familiar?

Here’s what you actually need: A team that gets your business, asks the hard questions, builds the strategy, and then actually EXECUTES it - while showing you exactly what’s working and what’s not.

That’s where we come in.

We’re built different

Marketing That Actually Grows Your Busines. Not Just Your To-Do List.

Unlike most agencies that hand you a pretty strategy doc and disappear, we’re in it with you. We’re the ones asking, “but WHY isn’t this working?” and if we tried THIS instead?” We pick up the phone when you need us.

We’re not here to be another vendor. We’re here to be your Strategic Guide, Partner, and executor - the one who sees what you can’t see, challenges what needs challenging, and builds the roadmap that gets you there.

Pillar 1 - Strategy

We start with the hard questions

Most agencies ask “What’s your budget?” We ask “What’s actually stopping you from hitting your revenue goals?”


We audit everything - your current marketing, your messaging, your competitors, your conversion points. We find gaps. We identify the opportunities. We build a custom growth strategy designed to make you money.

What you get: 90-day growth roadmap with clear priorities and revenue projections.

Pillar 2 - Systems

We build the machine that runs without you

You shouldn’t have to follow up with every lead manually. Your marketing should work while you sleep.

We implement the systems - lead capture, automated follow-ups, email sequences, conversion funnels - that turn your strategy into a revenue-generating machine.

What you get: Marketing automation & workflows that convert leads into customers.

Pillar 3 - Scale

We execute (And show you the numbers)

Strategy without execution is just a pretty PDF. We’re the team that acually DOES the thing. Media buying. Creative development. Social content. Website optimization. Email campaigns. Text campaigns. Public relations. Whatever your growth strategy calls for, we execute - fast.

And then we report on it monthly so you know exactly what’s working.

What you get: Done-for-you execution + monthly performance dashboards

Kathryn Gaither, Executive Director, Union Area Chamber of Commerce

“Working with Simmons Strategy Solutions has been an incredible experience! She helped our Chamber create a membership survey that really got to the heart of what our members need and value. Instead of throwing around fancy terms, she gave us clear, actionable recommendations to improve member retention.

On top of that, she worked with me to create a fantastic content plan for launching a new member benefit, offering creative and practical ideas that were easy to implement. Her approach was friendly, collaborative, and filled with fresh perspectives. If you’re looking for someone who truly listens and delivers results, I highly recommend Simmons Strategy Solutions!”

Michelle Leesmann, Business Owner

“Ashley catered to the level of experience I have in marketing and built upon that some strategic next steps for me. I appreciate her insight and coaching approach to marketing!”

The S3 Growth Process: How We Turn Chaos Into Clarity

The S3 Growth Process: How We Turn Chaos Into Clarity

from “I’m overwhelmed” to “We’re growing!”

Here’s the truth: most agencies overcomplicate things. We don’t. We start with one question: What’s going to move the needle MOST for your business right now? Then we build the plan and start working immediately. We don’t wait until we’ve perfected a plan, we start implementing immediately to start showing you results. And we do this every single month.

  • DISCOVERY & STRATEGY: Where are you actually stuck?

    • Deep-dive strategy call (we ask questions you haven't thought of)

    • Full marketing audit: what's working, what's not, what's missing

    • Competitor analysis: where's your advantage

    • Revenue goal mapping: how we get from HERE to THERE

  • SYSTEMS & SETUP: How do we make this run without you?

    • Build (or optimize) your lead generation systems

    • Set up automated workflows and email sequences

    • Create conversion funnels and tracking dashboards

    You get: Marketing that works while you sleep + automated lead nurture + clear visibility

    "Wait — I don't have to manually do all of this anymore?"

  • EXECUTION & GROWTH: What's working, and how do we scale?

    • Execute your campaigns (ads, social, email, content)

    • Create all assets (design, copy, media buying)

    • Monitor, optimize, and pivot based on real-time data

    • Monthly dashboard reviews + strategy calls

    You get: Done-for-you execution + monthly performance reports + fast responses + ongoing optimization

    "I actually know what's working. And I can SEE my business growing."

    The Best Part? You're never wondering "where are we at?" No ghosting. No guessing. Just growth.

 
 

Who’s Behind S3?

Hi, I’m Ashley. Your Chief Growth Strategist. (And the Person Who’s Going to Challenge You.)

I started S3 because I was TIRED of watching business owners get sold a dream and handed a strategy doc that collected dust.

Tired of seeing entrepreneurs pour money into "marketing" that couldn't be measured. Tired of agencies who made things look pretty but had no idea how to drive revenue.

So I built S3 — a place where we lead with strategy, execute with speed, and show you the numbers. Always.

Here's what you need to know about working with us: We’re a direct team (it’s a requirement in our DNA). We’re available. And we’re all obsessed with your growth.

 

Is S3 Right for You?

We’re Not for Everyone. And That’s on Purpose

We work best with business owners who:

  • Are DONE guessing whether their marketing is working

  • Want a partner who'll challenge them — not just agree with them

  • Are ready to invest in real growth (not just cheap tactics)

  • Value speed, availability, and straight talk

  • Know their business has purpose beyond just profit

  • Are open to doing things differently than they've done before

We're probably NOT the right fit if:

  • You want someone to just "post on social" and call it marketing

  • You're looking for the cheapest option

  • You're not ready to implement what we recommend

  • You want an agency that disappears after the kickoff call.

Let’s see if we’re a fit
