CKREU Consulting

What CKREU Consulting does

CKREU Consulting is a privately held digital marketing agency founded in 2010 by Connie Kreutzjans and headquartered in Edgewood, Kentucky, in the Northern Kentucky/Greater Cincinnati metropolitan area. The agency delivers paid media management and digital presence services across Google's ad network, Microsoft Advertising, Amazon Ads, Meta platforms (Facebook and Instagram), and Apple Business Connect. Its service portfolio spans nine product lines: Google Ads Management, Amazon Ads Management, Microsoft Advertising, Social Media Ads, Social Media Content, Email Marketing, Google Business Profiles (local SEO), Apple Business Connect, and Website Management. The agency operates as a certified Google Premier Partner (top 3% of agencies worldwide), a Microsoft Partner, and an Amazon Ads Verified Partner, credentials that grant priority support and beta access to platform features.

The agency's technology stack is built around the major ad platforms' native tools, including Google's Performance Max campaigns for AI-driven cross-channel optimization and Customer Match for audience targeting. CKREU does not develop proprietary ad-tech; instead, it configures, optimizes, and manages campaigns on third-party platforms on behalf of clients. The team consists of 6-7 people, including the founder and five named associates, which constrains the scale of accounts that can be serviced concurrently and makes delivery heavily dependent on the founder's personal expertise.

CKREU runs a professional services revenue model with custom, consultation-based pricing and monthly billing cycles. The go-to-market is direct sales via free consultation bookings (Google Calendar), phone, and email, targeting mid-sized businesses with multiple locations as well as SMBs across verticals including manufacturing, professional services, healthcare (notably dental practices), education, legal, retail, and pet services. Named clients span enterprise names (Cincinnati Airport/CVG, St. Elizabeth Health Care, Butler Tech) and long-tail SMBs (multiple dental practices, law firms, pet service providers). The company is founder-owned with no disclosed outside investment, funding rounds, or M&A activity.
