Mike Clay/Clay Digital Consulting

Clay Digital Consulting specializes in helping local business owners increase their online reach. This is done by first building a Digital Marketing Blueprint that will give a detailed marketing plan including ROI projections and online market demographics. Once the Blueprint is built, Clay Digital has a variety of options from Web Design, SEO, Social Media Marketing, and even coaching packages that allow business owners on a budget to manage their own marketing.

Mike Clay has a diverse background in the industry. He started off building websites for churches, and then became one of the founders for a large IT company specializing in building web based software apps. At one point he tried to leave the industry and turned his hobby into a business as Balloon Guy Mike and even made it to national TV as an entertainer, but the other entertainers needed help with their websites and marketing so balloons went back to a hobby, and Mike went back to the computer and started a coaching firm for entertainers. Over the years Mike has helped other businesses launch their digital marketing division and trained over 100 business owners how to effectively market online, some of which have built 7 figure businesses and others have become full time marketing consultants.
