Lehi, Utah, January 22, 2025

Amplēo, a Lehi-based fractional CFO, CMO and CHRO services company, today announced the acquisition of Stage Marketing, a marketing agency focused on executing impactful marketing strategies for brands at every growth stage, from Fullcast. This acquisition expands Amplēo’s offerings beyond fractional CMO leadership to fully integrated fractional marketing teams that deliver both strategy and execution.

Since launching its fractional CMO services two years ago, Amplēo has focused on helping growing companies build marketing strategies, plans and teams to grow and win in competitive markets. However, Amplēo quickly realized that marketing strategy was only as good as the resources that could execute on that plan. Bringing in Stage Marketing will provide Amplēo’s clients with a full team of skilled resources. Clients who also leverage CMOs will drive company growth with a foundation built on empowered marketing strategies.

“The combination of Amplēo’s fractional CMO practice and the Stage Marketing team’s skilled execution brings together the best of both worlds: strategy meets execution,” shared Joe Grover, managing partner of Amplēo. “It’s not just fractional CMOs anymore; it’s fractional marketing teams. Agencies can lack the leadership depth needed to craft strategy, while fractional CMOs don’t have the time to execute plans. Our vision is to bridge this gap. With Amplēo and Stage together, we’re creating a ‘marketing as a managed service’ model — a new kind of marketing solution designed for growth-stage businesses.”

Stage Marketing brings extensive expertise across content creation, creative and design, web development, paid search and SEO. From branding to lead generation, Stage Marketing has delivered thousands of successful projects to businesses across various industries, including consumer products, SaaS and healthcare, enhancing brand presence and customer engagement. What sets Stage Marketing apart is its highly flexible engagement model, offering hourly rates with no minimums and simple onboarding without complex agreements, making marketing support easily accessible for businesses.

“Partnering with Amplēo is a game-changer for Stage Marketing and the clients we serve,” said Lathum Nelson, director of practice at Stage Marketing. “By combining Amplēo’s big-picture strategy with our get-it-done execution, we will be able to deliver impactful campaigns that help clients scale and drive real revenue growth.”

Amplēo and Stage Marketing’s combined expertise ensures efficient and results-driven marketing campaigns and programs. This superior, comprehensive approach will allow additional organizations to have access to strategic executive leadership and a marketing team that can execute that strategy. 

Last month, TechBuzz reported Amplēo's acquisition of Peisner Johnson, a sales tax specialty firm based in St. George.
