Choosing a marketing agency for your retirement community can feel daunting. It is essential to find a team that inspires trust and confidence in their ability to achieve strong results with strong ROI. But it is equally essential to find a team of people you like – people who make you feel comfortable as well as inspired – because successful marketing is a partnership.
No business is more people-oriented than senior living communities. Whether yours is primarily focused on active retirement, assisted living, or nursing care, it is important to choose a marketing team that meshes well with your community as a business and with your community’s unique culture.
You want an agency that has solid, broad-based experience and a proven track record. But how do you find them when there are so many choices out there? We’ve pulled together a short list of candidates that are highly qualified. Perhaps one of these candidates is the right choice for you:

SeniorMarketing.com
This smaller agency is located in Baltimore. It was born out of President Kevin Williams’ own experience watching his mother try to cope with her role as caregiver to Kevin’s ailing grandmother. Having worked at a marketing agency that worked with a wide variety of senior living and senior care clients, Kevin says he developed his own system to help communities “connect with seniors and caregivers who truly need their services and increase the company’s bottom line profits with a lot more ease.”
Kevin is passionate about seniors and has written articles for several leading industry publications.
