Creative DSM

Based in Des Moines, Iowa, Creative DSM positions itself as an outsourced marketing department for organizations that prefer not to build an in-house team. The agency works with businesses and organizations in the Central Iowa area, including entities affiliated with local chambers of commerce, and describes its approach as data-driven, combining creative strategy with measurable results. Team size is small, in the range of one to ten people, consistent with a boutique agency model serving as a full-service alternative to internal marketing staff. The agency's declared services include Search Engine Optimization, Pay Per Click, Digital Strategy, and Email Marketing, and its website details additional offerings such as custom website builds with SEO-focused content, CRM setup, and funnel building. Marketing Analytics is offered to review social and web performance, including pay-per-click analytics and campaign audits. Staff Augmentation is presented as a way for clients to access marketing capabilities without hiring additional personnel, since work is handled in-house at the agency. Content Generation services cover keyword-focused blog writing, social media content, and photography. Beyond digital marketing, the site lists branding services such as logo design, rebranding with guidelines, and brand media kits, along with graphic design, product photography, video production, and professional headshots as part of its broader marketing package offerings.
