Who We Are

Our story

The Kage's

Middle Man Consulting is founded on a legacy of leadership, strategy, and creative excellence.

 

Established by Clint and Carla Kage, our agency synthesizes decades of experience in business administration, insurance leadership, and high-level marketing. What began as a strategic partnership to support local entrepreneurs quickly evolved into a comprehensive marketing collective.

 

Today, we unite elite specialists in design, web development, SEO, and brand strategy to deliver sophisticated growth solutions. Our transition from corporate leadership to agency ownership was driven by a commitment to family and a conviction that small businesses deserve high-end results.

 

We provide modern, relationship-driven marketing designed for the future of business. Our journey is just beginning.

We believe marketing should be simple. No confusing reports, no inflated agency fees, and no guessing what works.

Focus

Results

We start by understanding your business, your goals, and the challenges standing between you and growth. Through research, analytics, and AI visibility audits, we identify the opportunities that matter most.

Once we understand where you are, we build a customized plan. Whether it's website development, Google Ads, SEO, social media, AI optimization, or all of the above, every recommendation is designed with purpose.

Execution is only the beginning. We continually monitor performance, make adjustments, and focus on measurable outcomes that drive visibility, leads, and business growth.
