Chacka Marketing

What Chacka Marketing does

Chacka Marketing LLC is a Tampa, Florida-based digital marketing agency founded in 2009 by Janel Laravie. The firm delivers managed digital advertising services — paid search, paid social, programmatic display, Amazon marketing services, and digital marketing consulting — to enterprise brands across travel, financial services, technology, retail, publishing, and education. Its core technology stack leans on third-party adtech and measurement platforms rather than proprietary infrastructure; the agency holds Google Partner and Meta Business Partner certifications (2024) and maintains long-running technology partnerships with Kenshoo (advertising technology) and Tune (mobile measurement/attribution). The agency's operational footprint is concentrated in the United States, with no disclosed international expansion.

Commercially, Chacka operates a sales-led, direct-engagement go-to-market model, acquiring enterprise and mid-market clients through its website, audit-led consultative entry points, case studies, and thought-leadership content. Revenue is generated on a managed-services basis through retainers and/or percentage-of-media-spend fees across the full campaign-management lifecycle — strategy, audience targeting, execution, and optimization. Named enterprise clients span Barnes & Noble, Harvard, Harvard Business Review, MIT Sloan Management Review, Experian, CarMax, College Ave Student Loans, and TravelZoo, with several relationships documented as multi-year. The firm positions its East Coast operating base as a distribution advantage, marketing extended coverage hours that deliver reporting and analysis before West Coast business hours begin. The company is privately held as an LLC with no disclosed outside investors, parent, subsidiaries, M&A activity, or funding rounds in the source material.
