Linear Creative

What Linear Creative does

Linear Creative, LLC is a privately held, Ohio-based integrated marketing systems agency operating from its Columbus headquarters at 6284 Olde Orchard Dr and a Cleveland regional office. The firm designs and manages connected marketing programs that unify SEO, paid media (Google Ads, paid social), WordPress-based website design and development, content and copywriting, video production (including FAA-certified drone videography), branding, and traditional channels (print, direct mail, trade show, promotional products) under a proprietary four-stage methodology called the Linear Integrated Growth System (Awareness → Engagement → Conversion → Growth), with a secondary five-step Linear Growth Framework described in some sources.

The company's customer base spans healthcare organizations, nonprofits and mission-driven entities, educational institutions, law firms, government agencies (including state-level work with Ohio's Department of Children and Youth on the Help Me Grow program), regional and multi-location businesses, and select SMBs and enterprises across manufacturing, technology, and hospitality. Named engagements include Health Action Council, Ronald McDonald House Charities NE Ohio, Hitchcock Center for Women, Ohio Cancer Research, Cuyahoga County Veterans Service Commission, Davis & Young Employment Law, Buckley King, Relish, and BodySculpt Columbus, among others.

Linear Creative generates revenue through project-based and retainer-based professional services engagements. Website design projects are quoted in a $5,000–$25,000+ range over 4–12 weeks, while digital marketing, video production, and traditional marketing services are priced per project or scope; pricing is quote-based and not publicly tiered. The go-to-market is consultative direct sales, leveraging free audits, strategy consultations, and case-study demonstrations. The firm has no disclosed funding, no parent company, and no public revenue or headcount figures; the BBB has accredited the business continuously since 2012 at an A+ rating, and DesignRush recognized a BodySculpt Columbus campaign in its 2023 Top 10 Best Cosmetic Ads.
