The Mike Friend Agency is a full-service marketing firm focused on B2B strategy, digital advertising, and brand positioning for mid-sized companies across Oklahoma and the Southwest. The agency operates on retainer engagement, typically pairing account management with in-house creative and media teams rather than outsourcing to freelancers or offshore vendors.
Mike Friend Agency handles the full marketing funnel: strategy and positioning, paid search and social media advertising, website design and SEO, content marketing, and campaign analytics. The firm works primarily with manufacturing, professional services, healthcare, and technology companies with annual revenues between $10 million and $500 million. Engagements are project-based or monthly retainer, with no minimum contract term enforced for new clients. The agency is located on the north side of Oklahoma City and retains a small internal team rather than scaling through outsourced labor, which means continuity of account oversight and faster revision cycles than many competitors.
Retainer packages typically start at $3,000 to $5,000 monthly for social media management and ongoing content production. Full digital marketing retainers that include paid search, paid social, and monthly strategy calls range from $8,000 to $15,000. One-time projects like website redesigns, brand audits, or campaign launches are quoted individually and generally fall between $5,000 and $25,000 depending on scope. The agency does not publicly post rates, so any potential client should request a proposal directly. Pricing often reflects the size of the ad spend the agency will manage; agencies that handle your ad budget typically earn commission or retainers tied to media spend rather than pure service fees.
Oklahoma City has several marketing options in this space. Larger regional agencies like Barkley (Kansas City-based with an OKC presence) offer broader capabilities and Fortune 500 experience but typically require larger monthly commitments and longer contract terms. The Mike Friend Agency competes on accessibility: no long-term lock-in, full-time in-house staff managing your account, and faster decision-making. Smaller freelance networks and solo consultants undercut on price but typically handle only one or two service areas (social media or SEO, not both). If you need one specialized service and want to minimize cost, a freelancer makes sense. If you need integrated strategy across multiple channels and want a dedicated point person who is accountable, an agency with retained staff is more reliable. Mike Friend's model sits in the middle: more capable than a solo freelancer, faster and less bureaucratic than a national agency.
The agency is best suited for B2B companies with monthly marketing budgets of at least $3,000 and a willingness to commit to quarterly planning cycles. Companies new to digital advertising, lacking in-house marketing staff, or pivoting their brand benefit most from the strategy piece. Solo proprietors, nonprofits, and e-commerce retailers focused purely on direct sales should consider whether B2B-oriented strategy makes sense for their business model. The agency is not the right choice if you need only a one-time logo refresh or a freelance copywriter for a single project.
Initial discovery calls typically involve stakeholder interviews, a competitive audit, and a marketing audit of your current digital presence. The agency will produce a 30-to-60-day strategy document that outlines positioning, channel priorities, and key performance indicators. From there, implementation begins: website updates or creative development, ad account setup, and content calendars. Most clients see preliminary reporting within 60 days, though meaningful performance data for paid channels takes three to four months because ad learning and audience refinement take time.
The Mike Friend Agency operates during standard business hours (Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.) from its office in north Oklahoma City. The address and exact parking details should be confirmed directly, as office arrangements can change. Most initial consultations happen via video call rather than in-person. The agency maintains its own project management system, so ongoing work is tracked in real time and accessible to clients between meetings.
The agency's strength is that it enforces continuity: the same people stay on your account, your ad strategy doesn't reset every quarter, and you're not competing for resources with 50 other clients. That accountability matters when you're spending five figures annually on digital marketing.
