Some of the best businesses start with a leap of faith.
We recently sat down with Josh and Melanie Randall, owners of Gate City Insurance Group, to talk about what it was really like getting started. From leaving a steady job for straight commission, to interviewing for an insurance position while Melanie was in the hospital having their first child, their story is a reminder that building something worthwhile rarely comes easy.
What stood out most to us wasn’t just their story—it was how they treat people.
Insurance can feel overwhelming, but Josh and Melanie have built their business around making it personal. Whether that means sitting down face-to-face, meeting clients in their homes, or simply taking the time to answer every question, they believe helping people understand their options is just as important as the policy itself.
That’s probably why so many of the families they helped years ago are now sending their kids to Gate City Insurance.
If you’re looking for someone who’ll take the confusion out of insurance and genuinely take the time to help, they’re a great place to start.

Ever feel like you’re “working on marketing” but nothing’s actually moving?
Yeah… this is what it usually looks like.
Tabs open.
Ideas everywhere.
Half-finished stuff sitting there waiting for “later.”
Meanwhile, your business is just kind of… stuck in neutral.
Not because you’re lazy—
because no one ever showed you what actually matters vs. what’s just busy work.
So you end up doing a little bit of everything…
and none of it really hits.
That’s the trap.
Marketing isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing the right things, consistently.
(And yeah, your website should be doing most of the heavy lifting.)
What’s one thing you keep “meaning to fix” but haven’t touched yet?
POV: You finally carved out time to work on your business...
Then you realize your website needs updates, your Google profile needs photos, your social media has been quiet, and your inbox has 47 emails.
Welcome to entrepreneurship. 😭😭😭

A few behind-the-scenes shots from our visit to Extreme Rush. 📸
While we were at Extreme Rush interviewing co-owner Sidney Davis, our photographer Seth grabbed a few shots around the facility—and they turned out too good not to share. 💙

Proof We Get Down & Dirty
Here’s a slice of what we’ve built. Real businesses. Real results. And we’ve got plenty more where this came from.
The Leads Stopped Coming. So We Did.
This Property Management Business had the stellar local reputation and a killer property portfolio. But when their Google Business Profile got suspended, the phone stopped ringing. We stepped in, turned it around, and brought in better leads than before.

You Can’t Drive 10 Miles Without Seeing Their Fence.
Protech builds fences. We built the digital machine that made them the #1 name in Southeast Idaho. Now they don’t chase jobs—jobs come to them.

- Project Outcome: Brought in Big Jobs Online, Local SEO Dominance, Multi-Location Split, Show Up First on Google

Hot tubs don’t sell themselves. This did.
The State Fair was coming fast. Nick’s needed a real plan to turn browsers into buyers. We gave them the strategy and tools to actually sell.
- Category: Copywriting, Graphic Design, Landing Pages, Photography, Social Media Ads, Videography
- Project Outcome: Lead Generation, Seasonal Sales Driver
- Industry: Retail & Ecomm
Two Location Spa. One Big Problem.
Sunsations had the services, but their digital presence was stuck in the 1800's. We gave them a facelift that even their best estheticians would approve of.
