Your Digital Growth Partner. 

Pilots of TakeFlight.

In the cockpit of TakeFlight are Brad and Sam, two entrepreneurs who’ve been where you are. Juggling the demands of running a service-based business while trying to grow online. Over the past decade, we’ve built multiple businesses, made the mistakes, and figured out what works and what doesn’t.

Creative Director

With over a decade of experience in visual storytelling, Brad began his career as a commercial photographer working with heritage brands and household names. He saw a recurring problem: smaller businesses struggled to grow online, often wasting money on disjointed services without a clear strategy. This inspired him to start TakeFlight, giving businesses access to a full digital marketing team without the usual overhead. Today, Brad uses his creative expertise and entrepreneurial insight to help service-based businesses build strong digital foundations that drive growth.

As a competitive runner, he brings the same focus and drive to everything he does. At TakeFlight, Sam works closely with clients to understand their unique challenges and craft tailored strategies that deliver results. His goal is simple: to help service-based businesses streamline their digital marketing and achieve sustainable growth.

Why we started TakeFlight...

We’ve been where you are, running a service business while trying to navigate the overwhelming world of digital marketing. Too many small service-based businesses waste time and money on disjointed services with no clear strategy. That’s why we created the Growth Accelerator: a complete solution to help service-based businesses build the foundation they need to grow.

The problem we saw.

Most small service businesses follow the same frustrating path. They spend money on one-off services like websites, photography, or videos, hoping something will finally work. But without a clear plan, nothing ties together, and their efforts fail to generate leads or drive new business.

We saw that businesses are leaving money on the table every single day. Potential clients visit their website, but without a cohesive strategy, they leave without getting to know them, building trust, or taking action.

TakeFlight brand messaging and strategy

Why your story matters.

Most service business websites are forgettable. They focus on “what we do” without showing “why we do it” or how they’re uniquely equipped to solve their clients’ problems.

At TakeFlight, we help uncover your unique story. The one that sets you apart. When potential clients see your face and hear your story, they feel connected. And that connection builds trust, which turns browsers into buyers.

The solution we built.

We started TakeFlight to give smaller service-based businesses the tools and strategies that drive millions in revenue for larger brands.

With the Growth Accelerator, we deliver more than just a website. We build a complete digital foundation that connects every element—your story, content, design, and automation—so your service-based business can build trust, attract your ideal clients, and turn leads into loyal customers.
