Marketing is hard. But FranDev marketing is harder. Regulations, flip-flopping social media standards and poor leads, not real prospects, are just some of the challenges you face every day.

After doing FranDev for over 20 years, we’ve seen it all, and learned a lot along the way.

We know that serious candidates are comparing you to 10+ other brands and opportunities. Our franchise marketing strategy makes your brand stand above all of them by truly telling your franchise’s story to the world in the places that matter most.

We don’t hand you leads and disappear. We embed with your team, work hand-in-hand with your sales organization, and iterate based on real-time feedback.

Let’s grow your franchise—smarter, faster, and with a whole lot less frustration.

Integrated marketing only works if your agency is truly integrated. At Fish 919, our industry-specific “Pods” unite all franchise marketing services—PR, digital, media buying, creative, and more—under one team. You get deeper expertise, faster execution, and no need to juggle multiple agencies.

At other franchise marketing agencies, unproven staff may get assigned your brand because they happened to have the hours available. Not at Fish 919. We match our team to your brand, so you get the best from our best.

We insist on setting clear marketing program goals that dovetail and directly impact the numbers you are paying for — top line revenue, market share, brand impressions and preference, franchise unit growth, etc. If the expectations aren’t set up front, it’s hard to evaluate our mutual success.​

We embed ourselves into your business, acting as an extension of your internal team from day one. With a focus on collaboration and respect — two ingredients we know are essential to a successful partnership—we immediately align our goals with your goals.

We position your brand as the opportunity in a crowded field. We dive deep into what truly sets your brand apart, then craft messaging that speaks directly to serious candidates weighing multiple options.

WE LOVE FRANCHISING! We are active, long-term IFA members, and have built our agency entirely around franchising. We have a distinctive and disruptive franchise marketing approach that sets us apart and has led us to a reputation and client roster built on WHAT we know, not WHO we know.
