Based in Kailua-Kona, Hawaiʻi, +COLAB is a marketing and advertising agency working with owners of small to medium-sized local businesses across various industries. The agency positions itself as a marketing partner aiming to help these smaller operations compete against larger competitors by applying modern marketing and advertising tools and strategies. The team includes distinct roles such as Chief Strategist, Senior SEO Strategist, Senior Website Designer, Senior Website Developer, and Senior Branding Strategist, reflecting a structured, multi-disciplinary approach to client work. Services span web design and development, search engine optimization, search engine marketing, social media marketing, reputation management, branding, advertising (including television, radio, and newspaper), creative design services (logos, business cards, brochures, stationery, flyers, presentations, signage, forms, and banners), and promotional items such as t-shirts, pens, mugs, bags, and calendars. Client engagements follow a defined process: a Consult step where the Chief Strategist visits the client's place of business to understand operations and goals, a Convene stage bringing together the relevant department heads to shape a customized plan, and a Create phase in which the finalized concepts are developed into audio and visual materials. The agency describes SEO as a combination of strategies to improve online findability and SEM as the use of paid advertisements to list a business on targeted online portals, while reputation management is framed around monitoring online reviews to prevent lost revenue from negative feedback.
