Recently, Clutch released a list of the top Email Marketing companies in our state and Apex Current was ranked number 10 on the list. In our humble opinion we should probably be ranked a bit higher and while that might not appear very humble, the reality is, there aren’t very legitimate email marketing providers in our state. There are many amazing tech firms, web developers and, of course, ad agencies, but not very many that specialize in building custom CRM solutions for clients like we do.
Certainly, not any to the level that we do as an Infusionsoft Certified Partner, which is a certification that’s quite time consuming and not the simplest thing in the world to achieve.
Regardless, we’re grateful for being included and want to congratulate every other company on the list. They do exceptional work in their core competencies, there’s no denying that!

Finding The Right Digital Marketing Agency For Your Business
What Is A Digital Marketing Agency?
A digital marketing agency denotes a business, i.e. a company that provides digital marketing services to their clients.
Unlike traditional marketing and advertising companies, a digital marketing agency focuses on reaching online audiences using digital platforms and tools, as well as developing strategies based on in-depth user behavior data and analytics.
The typical services these agencies provide are:
Content marketing strategy & management
Social media management
Social media advertising
Paid search / SEM
SEO
Email marketing management
Affiliate marketing
Influencer marketing
Native advertising
(Digital) PR
And more
A digital agency is similar to a digital marketing agency. However, in addition to providing marketing services, they also provide services in web design, branding, and other areas outside of marketing but still relevant to business growth.
Digital Marketing Agency vs. Digital Advertising Agency
The fields of digital marketing and digital advertising tend to overlap often and to a degree that makes it difficult to set any clear boundaries between them.
You can view digital advertising, and - with it - the services a digital advertising agency provides to their clients, as the development and delivery of advertising campaigns for online audiences.
As such, digital advertising marries data and tech with creativity.
Some of the services that would fall within the scope of digital advertising are:
Display ads: Data analysis, data-based campaign conceptualization, design, deployment, performance tracking and optimization
Social ads: Similarly to display ads, digital advertising agencies devise social media campaigns based on the target audience behavior
PPC and other forms of paid ads including social
In reality, most digital marketing agencies will include these digital advertising services in their offering.
Digital marketing is usually viewed as a broader strategy that ties all the digital branding, lead generation and customer relationship building initiatives under its wing.
Top digital marketing agencies develop expertise in a few particular branches of digital marketing. Some even develop industry-specific expertise.
As a result, these companies’ offering will differ and your perfect outsourcing partner will specialize in just the type of services you need.

Top Digital Marketing Channels For B2B Businesses
An average American spends 209 minutes per workday checking work-related emails. (Adobe)

SEO
57% of B2B marketers stated that SEO generates more leads than any other marketing initiative. (Junto)

This non-intrusive pull tactic results in web traffic and qualified lead increase.
Social Media

Top 5 Reasons To Hire A Digital Marketing Agency For Your B2B Business
Here are the top five reasons why you should consider investing in B2B digital marketing services:
1. Leverage Their Expert Knowledge
Professional digital marketing agencies for B2B businesses are fully immersed in the field. They know the tested tactics that your company can benefit from but also the trends and the changes that occur rapidly.
Working with them allows you to leave everything to the experts. They know what works and what doesn’t and they can bring you qualified leads the best.
2. Gain Access To Premium Tools

The MASSIVE Changes Facebook’s Making To Their Platform Advertisers Need To Know To Win!
Recently, I was provided a summary of some major changes taking place on Facebook’s platform by someone I highly trust and respect. These changes were announced at F8, Facebook’s annual conference (anybody else bother to apply for F8, get accepted and pay for their credentials only to not attend like me?? smh), which takes place in June, so in the world of technology this news is relatively old.
What’s up, guys?!
Corbitt Chandler here… Founder and CEO of Apex Current.
Recently, I was provided a summary of some major changes taking place on Facebook’s platform by someone I highly trust and respect. These changes were announced at F8, Facebook’s annual conference (anybody else bother to apply for F8, get accepted and pay for their credentials only to not attend like me?? smh), which takes place in June, so in the world of technology this news is relatively old.
I received the information a few weeks ago and after recently having one of my Business Manager accounts shutdown by Facebook (it’s okay, I have multiple), I wanted to share this info so other agencies, ad buyers, consultants, etc. out there could avoid being in the same type of situation.
With that in mind, I don’t have the original source for this info. If you happen to stumble across this post and know the F8 attendee who crafted this, please provide their name in the comments section so I can credit them in the post (also, if you know them personally, please tell them thank you).
Introduction - A few important housekeeping items of note:
Before diving in, I want to make clear that I have amended what was provided ever so slightly so that it speaks to paid advertisers on the platform. I’ve also reorganized the original info just a bit so that there’s a more of a natural flow, as what I was provided looked to be notes that were taken on the fly at the conference.
Last, but not least, I’ve siloed everything into two parts; the first section revolves around changes in regards to posts and/or ads and a second section that focuses on Facebook Groups, which is what they’ve noted “as the future” of the platform.
Alright, with all of that out of the way, let’s dive in! You’ll have to forgive any typos. My brain has a tendency to move well in advance of my fingers… Plus, the “E” key on my MacBook Pro is broken right now because if you ask my wife apparently I like to make the most obnoxiously loud noise as possible when I type on my keyboard! 💪
Part 1 - Changes to how the algorithm views & optimizes all content (posts, ads, etc.):
The content we post on Facebook is supposed to create meaningful interactions. If it doesn’t, your post is less likely to be seen and suppressed by the algorithm. This extends to ads and why Facebook has removed “Relevance Score” and added the 3 new metrics for advertisers to be able to gauge ad quality as it relates to their targeted audience.
Contests, giveaways, and any posts or ads with language around the word “free” is starting to be suppressed by Facebook. If you are saying “get this free” or “enter this giveaway,” those will be suppressed by the algorithm. This goes back to creating meaningful interactions.
Newsfeed is shrinking. Stories are merging with the newsfeed. Messenger is being favored. Take the time to look through all the available options in Messenger. Messenger is soon going to be separated from the desktop, meaning it will be its own entity. WhatsApp and Messenger will be contained and can be used for direct selling. As mentioned, Facebook is saying that what they’re focused on moving to and the future of the platform revolves around “privacy.”
You CANNOT tell users how to react. In other words, you can’t say things like “Love this post and...” or “Comment below and…” Those phrases will suppress your reach because they are considered engagement baiting. What you should say is something like, “Leave me a heart and…” Engagement baiting includes words like COMMENT, VOTE, REACT, SHARE, TAG.
Teach users (e.g. prospects / clients) to leave a reaction, not a LIKE. Liking a post means nothing to the Facebook algorithm. It does not qualify as an engagement. Users need to LOVE it, react with SHOCK, or use the LAUGHING reaction. This shows positive user experience and will help your organic reach. Comments also boost your reach and GIF’s give you the highest ranking in the algorithm.
Ads are targeting new avenues. You can no longer have a small budget for Facebook ads and expect it to be successful. You need to understand targeting or you’ll be wasting money. Start testing ads in other ways that are not on the newsfeed.
Going LIVE is no longer on Facebook’s radar as an ORGANIC algorithm piece. If you didn’t go live often before, this is good news for you. If you are one who utilized it a lot, you’ll need to find other ways to boost organic reach. However, if your live video creates meaningful engagement, it will boost in algorithm ranking (with the reduction of the algorithm’s organic favoring given to FB Live videos, you may have seen a user or brand - that was aware of this ‘preferential treatment’ - posting a high volume of FB Live videos & with these new changes, has reduced or completely abandoned those efforts entirely).
Links in posts or ads can be determined as click-bait, or something that flags what’s called the “Click Gap Signal.” The Click Gap Signal is a measuring of inbound and outbound link patterns of a site that is being linked out from Facebook. Facebook will reduce the reach if the number of clicks from Facebook is higher than it is in other areas of the internet. In other words, if more people are going to your website via Facebook versus an organic Google search, your post will be considered click-bait or spam. Facebook will suppress it and/or shut down your ad account. While that might not be true, that’s what the algorithm will see (true story - as I mentioned in the intro, recently I had an entire Business Manager account shutdown. Every asset within that account is gone, goodbye, thanks for playing…).
This isn’t necessarily news to any decent ad buyer, but Facebook is tracking the link clicked to the funnel. This means Facebook will follow where the link is going. This could also trigger the Click Gap Signal.
Don’t limit yourself to one platform. Stories, Groups, Messenger, etc. are where you need to be on Facebook, but you should also be on other platforms. Move users away from Facebook to other areas. Spread out your reach. You shouldn’t build your entire business on one platform that you have no control over.
Sharing is not caring. Sharing from your page to your timeline/newsfeed is against the Terms of Service. By dropping your page link in a Sharing is Caring post, you are putting yourself at risk to have your account shut down. Sharing sale posts made on a page you are the admin of is also a no-no. Facebook wants page content to stay on the page. Selling is not allowed on your personal timeline. However, if a user (a non-admin of your page) shares a post from your page, the complete opposite happens. This boosts your ranking in the algorithm. Facebook views this as positive content because a user cared enough about the post to share it. If someone comments on that users shared post, you get an even higher boost.
Understand Facebook’s Community Standards and know that it’s a bot screening your content. It’s important to work within those rules in order to be present on social media. Understanding and following these standards will help boost your ad in the algorithm and help with your ad approvals.
Part 2 - Facebook’s new focus on Groups as the future of the platform’s growth:PART 2 - FACEBOOK’S NEW FOCUS ON GROUPS AS THE FUTURE OF THE PLATFORM:
Facebook is focusing on privacy and making the user experience more intimate. That’s what the algorithms is going to start catering to. If you don’t have a group strategy, getting one going might be a good route. Here are some items to be aware of if you’re the Admin of a group or are implementing a Facebook Group strategy:
Group Admins are responsible for all group activities. If content is posted in a group that goes against Facebook’s Terms of Service (TOS) or Community Standards, admins are at risk to lose their personal profile, their business page, and their group. Admins can be shut down with no recourse.
Negative ratings reflect poorly on the admin team. Negative ratings are the angry face, the sad face, member reported content, and the number of people who block you. These things also reflect poor ratings on groups and suppress reach. Facebook wants the user experience to be positive. Sad or angry face reactions tells Facebook that the user is having a bad experience, therefore diminishing your organic reach.
Post approval process is a responsibility. Admins should have post approval turned on in groups to protect themselves from negative ratings. Questions should be asked for new joins. It’s the admins responsibility to monitor and know who they are allowing in their group.
When members leave the group, they have the choice to take all of their content with them. This applies to admins as well. So if you had an admin that posted great content and then they leave the group, they have the ability to take their posts out of the group.
Sales posts on your page and in your group should be less than 20%. Facebook doesn’t want an abundance of “buy my (insert product / service)” posts because they don’t create meaningful interactions.
Admins should reduce takeovers or change how they are phrased. The word TAKEOVER is being suppressed. Instead, have a PARTY, an AUTHOR GATHERING, or EVENING ENTERTAINMENT.
Reduce the number of admins in the group. Again, this goes back to admin responsibility. The group admins should be you and only one or two other trusted sources.
Create Group Rules within Facebook (not just pinned in the announcements or written in the ‘about’ section of the group). They set the tone for the group and gives you something to point to if someone is not following the rules. It is your responsibility to make sure everyone is on the same page, or you risk losing your account with no recourse.
Link your group to your page. Facebook is going to be coming out with features that are specific to business pages that have groups.
Be a conversation starter in groups. Earn the badge. It shows you are creating meaningful conversations. Users are like you. If you like to see something on Facebook, chances are that they will like it too.
Groups deemed harmful on Facebook will be shut down. As per the statement put out by Facebook “…we identify and remove harmful groups, whether they are public, closed or secret. We can now proactively detect many types of violating content posted in groups before anyone reports them and sometimes before few people, if any, even see them.”
Conclusion - Don’t stand still, we all have to continually evolve:
Take advantage of these updates and changes! If they scare you a little (or a lot), that’s okay! What’s not okay is to stand in the same place doing the same old thing until your ads don’t produce any notable results oor worse. Anything you may see listed above that conflicts with your current strategy is only an opportunity in disguise. Don’t miss the importance of focusing on your groups given that’s where Facebook has decided to move their focus.
Digital marketers and ad buyers evolve everyday. This is just another element we have to evolve with to continue staying on top of our game! It might not be easy because for some of us this might change a great deal of what we’re used to as an effective strategy. As it goes with anything worth doing, the cream will always rise to the top!
Remember, Facebook’s number one product is UX (user experience) and they’re attempting to improve it so that more users spend time on the platform and engaging. Facebook’s number one source of revenue (currently) comes from advertisers so I highly doubt they’re planning to throw the baby out with the bath water. Evolve your strategy and figure out what it takes to win given these new standards (whether that’s for your clients or your business) and you’ll be rewarded for those efforts.
Ultimately, when you do figure out the recipe for success for your business or clients I strongly believe this “meaningful interaction” element Facebook is focusing on will be a game changer in many ways! In the long haul, it will create an environment where prospects who interact with your ads will have higher intent and improve the overall performance of your paid advertising campaigns on Facebook.
Good luck and Godspeed!

A Little Bit About The Man Who Mentored Apex Current’s Founder & CEO, Corbitt Chandler
Our Founder & CEO, Corbitt Chandler, talks about the man who mentored him and inspired him to start, Apex Current.
What’s up everyone?!
Corbitt Chandler here, Founder & CEO of Apex Current. I wanted to jump in and write a little blog post - 1) because we’re so busy around the office, other than repurposing content, we’re not as active on our blog as I’d like to be and 2) and more importantly, I wanted to give an appropriate shoutout to someone very special to me, my brother, one of my good friends and mentors, Brad Bearden (check him out on Facebook - Facebook).
Now, real quick caveat, this started as a post on my personal Instagram which very quickly became too long so I decided to memorialize this shoutout appropriately by turning it into a post on our blog. With that out of the way, let’s dive in…
To write that Brad means a great deal to me, would be an understatement. I feel quite indebted to him and quite a few others for having the opportunity to start my company, if I’m honest. I feel like all of those individuals are standing behind me with every decision I make and this business iis an extension of them. But, if you picture a dark room with all of these individuals standing behind me, Brad would be right in the center with a spotlight beaming down on top of him because that’s how crucial he’s been to this endeavor.
Here he is in this picture of us side-by-side, he’s on the left and as his instagram post says (where I originally pulled this picture from), feeling cute making bread and me on the right feeling and doing the same.
Brad was brought on by the awesome company I used to work for as the Vice President of Marketing to help us completely reshape our paid advertising. Brad had developed a proven Facebook advertising system specific to our vertical that was second to none. To provide a little context to this point in time in my life, I was personally in a super weird place.
Only a few months into a new sober lifestyle, I felt like a young doe on shaky legs learning to walk along with re-learning how to do everything else in my life. I was pretty sad too - depressed. I guess I was mourning the loss of what I thought was my closest friend because me and booze did everything together. Obviously, I know now that this “friend” of mine was quite the opposite.
This was pretty much me at the time… My quads were just bigger.
He boomed with confidence and positive fearless energy. I was a little taken aback and as the VP of Marketing, felt a bit territorial over what I thought was my domain.
It didn’t take a significant amount of time for that to subside and I realized the opportunity as well as incredible challenge that stood before me. His marketing system relied heavily on a substantial volume of targeted media buying and placement through Facebook as well as someone with prowess to manage it all continually optimizing for the best results. He wasn’t hired to do, but to teach us his system so someone was going to have to step up to press the buttons.
For whatever reason; be it fate, obligation, drawing the short straw, my own personal desire; I became his protege. In my entire career up until this point, I had never bought a penny of digital media on any platform. I had managed plenty of agencies and partners, but pressing the buttons was completely foreign to me. Brad took me under his wing and not only did he mentor me through this insanely complex & granular process, he taught me how to be and think like a marketer (when it comes down to it, he taught me a great deal more than that helping to reshape my entire thought process about how I approached any situation in life).
We used to put in these 10 plus hour days, laptops appropriately in our laps, him guiding me very patently all the way. He’s an excellent teacher and I was very fortunate to learn from him.
Back to that whole teaching me how to be and think like “a marketer” thing. Hold up, wait... How does what I that even make any sense? I had a college degree in marketing from the University of Alabama, a successful career in marketing for well over a decade at that point in time for numerous big brands, , but I wasn’t a marketer? Yep! 💯... My formal education and all of my years working professionally combined couldn’t touch what I learned from this man. He schooled me in effective marketing.
There was, of course, buying and placing digital media and becoming comfortable with that process as well as how to identify and ptimie the best performers. There was building effective Sales Funnels in Clickfunnels… There was learning how to build email campaigns and logic in the CRM, Infusionsoft (aptly dubbed “Confusionsoft” by many and something that had alluded me for over 2 years as I fumbled though it). BUT, most of all, there was how to select the write type of creative and write effective ad copy.
I literally can’t put a value on the education I learned. I was very fortunate in that my company hired him and I was the direct recipient of this knowledge. In six months, my company had driven over $1 million in new customers with a solid 4:1 return from his program.
He also inspired me to become an entrepreneur more than anyone in my life, that’s for certain! I NEVER considered myself anything, but a “corporate man” before meeting him. He told me flat out that I was an entrepreneur and knew with what he had taught me, it was only a matter of time before I started to spread my wings and exit my company, that i so greatly appreciated for so much as well because without them, none of this would have been possible either.
Him along with my amazing wife, Michelle, who had always believed in me, taught me to believe in myself. He taught me to be fearless. He taught me to be confident in my abilities. He showed me how to go get what I’m worth and not be afraid to demand the respect I deserved. He taught me to be a better man for my family and friends.
I won’t go into too much detail on the rest of the story because I’ve shared that in separate posts multiple times, one of which you can read here if you’re interested. It wasn’t long that I started consulting with brands and even though Brad was being paid anymore to mentor me, he continued to do so and does to this day.
I began consulting in April of 2017, founded Apex Current in September of 2017 and since then this rocket ship has achieved so much and grown into something much bigger than me with so many valuable players involved that have made this all possible. Apex Current was a Finalist in 2018, for Small Business of the Year, I was honored as one of Birmingham’s Top CEO’s last year, this year Apex Current was recognized by DesignRush as one of 2019’s Best Ad Agencies in the World which was published in Business Insider. I’ve generated $1.5 million dollars in topline revenue in only 18 months, Apex Current having months where our revenue was more than I made in one year of my career before starting my company.
All of it is very humbling and would not have been possible without him. All the long nights and weekends working add up. It’s not always easy, but he taught me to persevere and win at all costs. As I sit on my laptop late at night or early in the morning, when I work when no one’s looking, in times when I feel so alone because I’m pursuing something that most can’t understand and even though he’s just a phone call away, I still have that picture in my head of him encouraging me just like he did in the beginning. It spurs me onward and motivates me to this day.
I’m so grateful for the brotherhood we share and that he’s become such a big part of my story. I can never thank him enough or show enough gratitude. It’s hard to even say, where i’d be if we hadn’t met, but thank God we did because it changed everything in my life. 🙏
Alright, thanks for checking this out! I hope you enjoyed it. Be sure to comment if you liked it and if you have any questions, drop them below and I’ll do my best to respond. Check out some of our other posts as well.
Much love❤️,

Attending the 2018 KultureBall with our wives (who we apparently asked to not be in the picture. lol).
When Someone Shows You Who They Are, Believe Them...
Because what we do is everything to me and only the perfect partners are deserving of our services. It takes more work than anyone will ever know. So much has to be sacrificed, but when the fat lady sings, we’ve created something that’s a marketing machine and will grow our partner’s revenue each month consistently.
What's up?
Corbitt here... Founder & CEO of Apex Current, getting my blog on! :-)
We've had the opportunity to collaborate with businesses in Australia, Colombia, France, the U.K. as well as across the U.S. from San Francisco to New Jersey...
We were also recognized as one of 2019's Top Advertising Agencies in the World by DesignRush which was published in Business Insider.
This has been one wild ass ride for sure, growing Apex Curren, a bootstrapped business, from the basement of my home to a dedicated office space, reaching top line revenue of just over a million dollars in our first fiscal year in 2018.
I've had no investors, funding or a dime given to me by anyone so I'm fortunate enough that we've been able to accomplish what we have. Especially given that statistics show only 3% of the nearly 600,000 new businesses / startups in the U,S. each year hit $1 million in revenue in their first year and only 4% of the ones that are started, even make it into their second year.
One of the biggest challenges has always been scaling what we do while selecting the right clients as partners. Basically, replicating myself through processes and finding staff who can replicate this granular protocols of performance-driven digital ad buying in conjunction with the type of clients we want to have as partners.
So, this year, I’ve minimized overhead as I contemplate how best to move our business model forward. I’ve also moved to more of a virtual staff which was a great decision, but that’s a topic for a different post all together.
What's key to this recipe is finding the appropriate client partners which is in part where the title of this post comes in. I was blessed to be mentored by one of the best Facebook Marketers in the world. He drilled what we do everyday into me daily, but also a quote that I’ll never forget - "when someone shows you who they are, believe them."
It had nothing to do with digital marketing, but everything to do with everything else... There have been so many situations where I've given people the benefit of the doubt - whether clients, team members, vendors, etc…
I'm at a point in this journey now where I can't do that anymore. If someone says they're going to do one thing yet does another, makes a commitment and then breaks it, to me, they've shown their true colors.
As we well know, all we have in this day and age is our word and so many people seem not to really give a shit if they break, manipulate or completely change the story on whatever it is they’ve committed to.
Things come up, I get it, but that's not really what I'm talking about... What I'm talking about is blatant and repetitive disregard for something someone says they're going to do or commits to. It seems to be happening at an alarming rate these days and so for me, partnering with the right client is absolutely paramount to our continued growth so that we're poised to grow and help grow the right businesses with what we do.
Because what we do is everything to me and only the perfect partners are deserving of our services. It takes more work than anyone will ever know. So much has to be sacrificed, but when the fat lady sings, we’ve created something that’s a marketing machine and will grow our partner’s revenue each month consistently.
So here's the million dollar question for you... What examples of this are happening to you? Be it your business, team members in your department or even personal life?
What tough decisions are you not making that you need to make right now?
Because after being on this journey for a couple years now I can tell you with confidence, 99.9% of the time, when someone shows you who they are, you need to believe them. If not, you're going to get taken advantage of and it could cost you everything.
I made the decision this year, that when we break things off with a client, team member, vendor, etc. - for whatever reason - we won't ever work with them again... It seems cutthroat, I know, but I can attest to the fact that it's been an absolute game changer to my business. It takes a massive amount of pressure to make a diamond so as I’m creating my diamond, I’m getting comfortable with that increasing pressure more each day.
I hope this helps give you a gentle nudge in the direction you need to go. It's not always easy, but it's necessary and will make a big difference in your life, maybe all the difference. I can promise you that!
Have an amazing rest of your day and make big EPIC things happen!!

5. Bernstein-Rein
BR is an independent agency that does more than creating ads. We invent a better way. Ad agencies start with a consumer problem and create an ad campaign. We’re different. We’re entrepreneurs who see a consumer problem and then invent a better way. Sometimes that better way is advertising. Sometimes, it’s not. Inventing a better way is exactly what we’ve been doing for more than 50 years. We’ve started businesses, grown businesses, sold businesses. We’ve developed entirely new retail models.

Mammal is a video-based advertising agency creating on-screen solutions for any device and any platform.

9. Merci Buenos Aires
We are a communication agency with digital culture and strategic-creative profile. An agency that was born integrated and multidisciplinary, where digital is a natural part of DNA and not a department. An agency that was born at the moment in which brands need intensive care - because users are intensive and their relationship with them too - that can only be provided by agencies with partners committed and present on a day-to-day basis. We are an agency that believes in the value of human relationships nurtured by respect.

11. Socialistics
Welcome to Socialistics. After 20+ years of doing it “their” way, we’re ready to re-write the rules when it comes to marketing and it starts with focusing on what really matters… content. Channels and technologies evolve, change, come and go, but great content stands the test of time. If you can effectively tell your company or organization’s story across all your channels and with the right people, well, that’s marketing. Unfortunately, many companies and organizations don’t have the time, money or expertise to pull it off. That’s where we hope Socialistics can fill the gap. Socialistics is about providing an agency solution that doesn’t feel like an agency solution. We work exclusively with small and medium-sized businesses and we do so affordably. Big fancy downtown office? Nope. Expensive, over-sized staff? Nah. Streamlined, results-oriented, experience at your disposal? You bet. Our team’s collective years of experience have worked towards building Socialistics by gaining a wealth of experience, a network of subject matter experts, and a business model that just plain works. No matter what the scope is of your specific marketing needs, Socialistics can help create, curate and connect your story to the world.
