Luke 15 is the story of two people.
A son, selfish and arrogant.
And his father.
The son demands his inheritance money early and the father obliges, well aware of what it was going to be spent on.
Wasteful things. Wicked things. Worldly things that are here today and tomorrow gone like a vapor.
And a vapor they were. The son found poverty and sobriety in a pigsty. His money and possessions gone and the only thing to keep him warm was the shame of his actions.
He resolved to head home and beg for a position of slavery in his father's house, as even they had food to eat and a warm place to sleep.
He approached his father's home, preparing to embrace the full weight of his actions, when something unexpected embraced him.
His father.
A ring. A robe. A pair of sandals. Symbols of dignity, sonship, and freedom were given to him. The fattest calf was killed for a feast.
The father's response was not without notice. When inquired about the unusual actions, the father responds with some of the most curious lines of all of Scripture.
But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.
Luke 15:32
Why the name Prodigal
The prodigal son is really the story about the prodigal father.
Prodigal means to be wasteful or recklessly extravagant, of which the prodigal son certainly lived up to his name. However, prodigal has another definition:
to give abundantly
The story of the prodigal son is really the story of the prodigal father, who upon his son's apology, immediately gave an abundance of forgiveness.
This is where Prodigal Marketing gets its name, from the father who gave. We exist because we believe that there are people in our world who desperately need the forgiveness and redemption that only Jesus Christ can bring. We exist because we look at our bottom line as the fattest calf, as a gift to give away in celebration for lost sons and daughters that come to a relationship with the Heavenly Father.
Where the money goes
Cheerfully giving to fulfill the Great Commission.
Working with us means working with a digital marketing agency that believes in giving abundantly to Kingdom purposes. A portion of our agency fees go through the Jeff Leake Legacy Fund, a Donor Advised Fund administered through The Signatry, and restricted to explicitly Christian mission efforts. Right now for us that means:
- Church Multiplication Network Church plants. We believe the local church is the bride of Christ and the hope of communities. We support the Church Multiplication Network of the Assemblies of God as they plant churches throughout America.
- SOS Adventure Missionaries and mission work. We believe the purity of the Gospel is in its proclamation to those that don't know Him. We support SOS Adventure, a missionary organization running festivals across Africa, with giving directed toward their evangelistic work and the people carrying it out.
- Compassion International Children in need. We believe that children are the most precious gift we could receive from God. (Psalm 127:3) We support Compassion International, who are dedicated to help children with food, medical aid, and education supplies, so that they have the chance to grow into adults that know and love God.
- More as we grow. We believe in being intentional about giving and will prayerfully add more names to this list as we grow.

What we do
The strategies for how we help you get seen online.
We focus on getting businesses seen in digital spaces through seven key areas:
Much like a map helps you get to the right location when driving, Search Engine and Answer Engine Optimization make sure you're found by those wanting what you provide.
Beautiful and optimized for speed and stability so that customers trust that you are who you say you are and that your quality is the best.
We develop the content alongside your input, show up to shoot it with your team, edit, and schedule the posts. Always in your brand's voice and tone so that it sounds like you rather than something fake.
Nothing will showcase who you are as well as high quality photography and videography. Your team and your work, captured on-site so that they tell your story to your customer.
Google and Meta advertisements that are run with intentionality and watched carefully so the money you put into it comes back as new clients.
The best stories happen when heroes are clearly understood by the reader. The best marketing happens when businesses are clearly understood by the customer. Branding is the process of understanding who you are as a company and communicating that to others.
Your in-house marketing team may need some outside guidance and structure to refocus on your company's goals and break through productivity plateaus. As a one-time or semi-regular meeting, we can help be a coaching voice to your team.
Who we are
Four things that differentiate us from other agencies.
We are honest marketing for honest people. We speak in everyday language rather than confusing business owners with jargon that is difficult to understand and even more difficult to apply to their business. We avoid emotional pressure to get people to buy services they don't actually need.
We tell your unique story because that's what differentiates your business in an online space. From concept to copy, we make sure your voice, your personality, and your identity are represented online in a way that reflects who you are.
We like exploring the nooks and crannies of new ideas because the best ideas often come from unexpected places.
We pour out our finances to the Kingdom of God and our time and energy to our clients. We believe in giving above and beyond in all of our relationships.
