Digital marketing is an essential tool for local small businesses to thrive and reach their target audience. As local businesses, we understand the value of building meaningful relationships, and that’s why we, at Emphasis.LA, are passionate about supporting and collaborating with fellow local enterprises. We believe in transparency, genuine connections, and the power of face-to-face interactions, which is why we ask our fellow small business owners: “Do you know the guy in the chair?”
In the Spider-Man movies, Ned Leeds asks Peter Parker if he can be his Guy in the Chair. A person that is ready and able to help the superhero accomplish his goals. He might not be able to do the same amazing things that Peter Parker can do but he has a unique set of skills that make him an asset in certain situations. Ned is a partner that Peter can confide in.
A Personal Touch in Marketing:
Large corporations have taken over many of the products and services we consume daily, making impersonal interactions all too common. You might call on a large marketing agency, for example, and you’re transferred from one department to another, leaving you feeling like just another number on their list. There’s little to no communication between these departments, and your marketing strategy becomes disjointed, lacking cohesion and effectiveness. The primary measure of your importance to them is often the amount of money you spend, which can be disheartening for local businesses with limited budgets.
A lot of times, small agencies will sublet all or most of their work to larger companies overseas. This is why even though they are a small agency, they have phone extensions and you may be talking with different people all of the time.
At Emphasis.LA, we do things differently. When you work with us, you won’t be dealing with a disconnected chain of departments or being assigned an impersonal numerical value. Instead, you’ll be acquainted with the “Guy in the Chair” – a dedicated professional who serves as your main point of contact. I, Jason Orellana, or a member of my team, will immerse ourselves in your business, getting to know your goals, your values, and your unique challenges. We will be your partner in crafting a tailored marketing strategy that resonates with your target audience and drives real results.

We value these opportunities to meet you personally, learn about your business, and explore potential collaborations.
