The Point Group

What The Point Group does

The Point Group is an independent, full-service integrated marketing communications firm headquartered in Plano, Texas, serving startups, mid-market companies, and Fortune 500 clients nationwide. Originally spun out of agency mainstay Tracy Locke in the early 1990s, the firm operates with 51-100 employees across services including strategy, branding, public relations, media planning and buying, creative, digital, social media, analytics, and in-house production. In May 2026 it launched Point Studios as a standalone production division at Granite Park, offering video, photography, podcast, audio, live streaming, and post-production capabilities. The firm serves primary verticals of healthcare, senior living, hospitality, real estate, and B2B, with secondary verticals in municipalities and home services.

The company operates a professional services revenue model with project-based and retainer pricing, quoting custom engagements ranging from under $10,000 to $50,000+ for project work and Point Studios production budgets from under $5,000 to $50,000+. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and engagements are scoped per client. The agency employs a sales-led and event-driven go-to-market motion, combining direct enterprise sales, inbound new business inquiries ([email protected]), RFP processes, industry events, and own-brand content including the 'What's the Point' podcast. Customer logos include Continental Battery Systems (agency of record across 160+ locations), Kisco Senior Living, W Hotel, Bar Louie, Corner Bakery, Methodist Health System, Hilltop Securities, and Carter DeLuca.

The firm's technology stack combines an integrated marketing services platform with proprietary frameworks including the Brand Engagement Model and Point Analytics (predictive analytics, segmentation, attribution, dashboarding). The technology infrastructure is supplemented by IT leadership under Director Billy Hayes. The company's competitive positioning rests on three decades of integrated expertise, vertical depth (notably Senior Living Marketing Agency of the Year 2026 by ElderCare Review), and Texas-rooted regional advantage combined with national execution. The Point Group is privately held, founder/management-owned (CEO Susan Owen, founding member), and shows no evidence of external institutional investment.
