ABOUT ACCELERANT AGENCY

If we're being honest, we think most marketing agencies kind of suck when it comes to dealing with small businesses. (Sorry, not sorry) They overcharge, underdeliver and are gone when the check clears. That's why we started Accelerant Agency. We wanted to give small businesses something they've never had before -- a digital strategy partner that packs global punch but focuses on local growth.

WE'RE BREAKING THE MOLD

We don't work with JUST any small business. And if we do partner with you, we won't always give you what you want.

Wait.... what?

At Accelerant Agency, we meticulously search for ideal clients that show potential for explosive growth. Using our comprehensive Accelerant Growth Formula, we're able to see if your business is ready to scale.

We only partner with businesses whose digital strategy and online marketing begs for an outside accelerant.

WE'RE UNIQUELY BETTER

Usually, a company tells a marketing agency what they want. Or, a marketing agency will sell its sexy service of the month. Like, 'Look. This is cool. Everyone is doing it.'

We don't do that.

That's because our sole focus at Accelerant Agency is growing your revenue potential. We don't care about vanity metrics or 'making something pop.'

We only care about strategies that will propel you to pass your competitors, increase your revenue, and make your business bigger.

WE GUARANTEE YOUR GROWTH

At Accelerant, we live by a simple equation: Growth>Everything. Why don't marketing agencies guarantee growth?

Because it's frickin hard.

By only working with businesses with explosive growth potential, we can guarantee our services. We do heavy lifting up front to gauge your projected growth. That's how we deliver every time. And if – for some apocalyptic reason – we don't, then we fire ourselves. Seriously.

WE GIVE BACK AND IMPACT

Alright. Accelerant makes you money. We make money. End of story? Not a chance. Accelerant didn't start just to make people money. For every 'Accelerant' level client we take on, we provide a similar service pro bono to a 510(c)(3) nonprofit. Why?

If you're blessed, you should be a blessing.

With more than a decade of nonprofit executive experience, Accelerant's founder prioritizes giving back to deserving causes.

ABOUT JORDAN WILSON

Insert Content Template or Symbol

That's me. Inspiring a roomful of
now-NBA stars.

At a national Jordan Brand event.
That I created.

What the literal?

For the past 18 years, my job has been to tell stories.

My storytelling career began as a teenager working as a full-time sportswriter at my daily newspaper. There, I challenged myself to write stories that would seem new and fresh to even the people who attended the events I wrote about.

More recently, storytelling has looked like the picture above, in my prior role as the National Marketing Director and Executive Director of Operations at Triple Threat Mentoring. In that photo, I'm speaking to a group of now-NBA All Stars at a Jordan Brand event in NYC. Through storytelling, I'm teaching these future moguls how to leverage their brand and use it as a vehicle. I've told thousands of stories. Along the way, I've won national writing awards and even an international fellowship with the Pulitzer Center.

So what does all that have to do with Digital Strategy and Online Marketing? More than you know. At the foundation of any effective digital strategy is a good story. It's what sets you apart from your competition. It's what makes your small business human. As humans, we like humans.

The best marketing and digital strategy in the world doesn't matter if your story sucks.

Sure, I have a decade-plus of experience in online marketing, brand management and content creation, among other areas. But it all comes down to your story. The best marketing and digital strategy in the world doesn't matter if your story sucks.

Working with small businesses, our goal is to deliver fortune 100 solutions that don't cost a fortune. At the heart of our digital strategy is telling your story. I've been trusted by some of the largest brands in the world to communicate a message. Now, I'm ready to tell your company's story with Accelerant Agency. (Oh, and make you more money!)

Before I tell you my story, I wanna say 'Hey!'

Soooo... Heeeeey

My name's Jordan.

And in March of 2019, I officially launched Accelerant Agency. But before I tell you more about how I ended up here, I've gotta provide some context on my crazy journey and take you back in time. That'll tell you the why. So let's rewind.

All the way back to 1985.

That's when I was born.

Except I was born dead. (Don't worry, I made it out alive)

But at THAT moment – not even one day into this thing called life – I already had formed an identity for myself.

I was a scrapper.

A hustler. Someone who overcomes and gets done.

I embraced that grind-it-out mentality as a kid growing up in a single-parent home. I didn't always have everything I wanted or needed. So I had to hustle.

I didn't always have everything I wanted or needed.
So I had to hustle.

When I was 9, I was LEGIT A/B testing my lemonade stand to buy pizza. Had to hustle for that za.

At 13, I was slinging newspapers to buy my first pair of Jordans. Had to hustle for them Js.

A few years later, I was selling CDs out the trunk of my car in high school to buy a computer to teach myself to how to make websites. Had to hustle to make it happen.

I started my professional career early, working as a sportswriter at a daily newspaper at 17. As you can probably imagine (in case A/B testing a lemonade stand at 9 wasn't a dead giveaway) I set lofty goals for my career. There were obstacles to overcome, sure, but I achieved most of my goals quicker than I expected. I won the top writing award in the nation. Best internships. I was awarded an international Pulitzer fellowship.

Turns out none of this actually mattered. I was searching for more. I needed a new challenge.

I decided to use my talents to do good in the community.

That didn't take long, as I soon started working a small nonprofit called Triple Threat Mentoring. At the time, I told the CEO that we would grow the Triple Threat into a huge, well-known org.

As you can probably imagine (in case the above picture above wasn't a dead giveaway) I helped turn that into a reality. When I joined, the org was a team of 3. It quickly grew into a team of 30-plus with four locations, and I became the National Marketing Director and then the Executive Director of Operations. I helped create, pitch and secure handfuls of large partnerships with behemoth brands like Nike and Jordan Brand. (That's why you might see me rockin Js and the Swoosh on the regular. Perks!)

So, back to that photo. WHAT THE LITERAL. I never thought I'd have the platform to challenge a group full of millionaire NBA players to use their brands for good. I never thought I'd be able to collaborate on marketing projects with global brands. I never thought I'd be able to help create lasting impact through strategy, content creation and marketing. But I made it all happen. Had to hustle.

Which brings me to today. What to do with all the boxes in my nonprofit career checked? A new challenge. Enter, Accelerant Agency.

What to do with all the boxes in my nonprofit career checked?
A new challenge. Enter, Accelerant Agency.

My whole life, I've had to use creativity and grit to get the job done. Honestly, though, I wouldn't of had it any other way. That's how I learned to think creatively, how I learned to execute strategically, and how I was able to outwork everyone in the room just to get to a level playing field.

What does that have to do with Accelerant Agency? Well.... everything.

See, that's the exact method I take to helping scale small businesses. We think creatively, execute strategically and outwork everyone. I see a little bit of myself when I see small businesses struggling to keep up with their bigger competitors. They're the scrappers. The hustlers. The one's who've gotta grind it out and overcome to get done. Marketing online can be a daunting task, especially for those businesses with the odds stacked against them.

I've overcome the odds before. Now, it's my turn to help others.
