They say that you've truly "made it" as a business owner in Boone once you land on Story Street, and we're SO EXCITED for this next chapter!

In the near future, we will be offering "Open Haunt" hours to business owners and creators once a month to provide 1:1 in-person branding/tech/web coaching, at no cost, at our new location. These hours will be posted as events on our page, so keep an eye out for those in the weeks to come 🖤

There are so many exciting things that we can't wait to share with you, but until then, know that we'll be haunting the grooviest spot in Boone come July! 😉

With Love and Gratitude,

Four years ago, Creative Ghost started with a laptop, a lot of determination, and a VERY deep belief that branding should feel more human. Much has changed since then, but one thing hasn't: this work has always been about people first.

We've grown from a traditional agency into something far more collaborative.

Today, we focus on web development, brand strategy, and hybrid support for business owners who are tired of feeling overwhelmed by marketing their small businesses. Sometimes people don't need someone to take over.. They just need someone to explain things in plain English over a screen share, or tackle that graphic they've been fighting in Canva for weeks.

This year we became a Wix Legend Partner, worked with incredible local creatives, and supported nonprofits and community initiatives we genuinely care about.

To every client, collaborator, referral partner, and friend who helped us make it four years — THANK YOU! Truly. This little agency has grown more than I ever imagined. 👻

Here's to the next chapter. 🖤

Most business owners approach content the same way — they wait until they need to post something, then try to think of something worth saying. That's why it feels hard. It was never designed to be easy. This guide gives you a simple, repeatable system that makes content creation feel less like a c...

A business owner told us something last week that stuck with us.
"We're getting traffic, but no one is doing anything?"
It's one of the most frustrating places to be — you've done the work, the site is live, the ads are running, SEO basics are in place. But nothing's converting. What gives?!

We wrote about the 5 things that cause this — and more importantly, how to fix them WITHOUT rebuilding everything from scratch (because who has time for that?!)

Your website is getting traffic — but no leads. The problem usually isn't your ads. It's that your site isn't giving visitors a reason to act. This guide breaks down the five psychological and structural reasons most websites fail to convert, and exactly what to fix first.

Business Owners! 📢

Have you ever been scrolling your feed and found yourself scoffing at the same ad that you've seen (seemingly) nonstop? Maybe even hit the "hide all" button in the top right corner because of it... We've been there!

If your ads aren't performing the way that they used to - your audience may be experiencing the same frustration from YOUR ads 😬

This experience is called Ad Fatigue or Cognitive Filtering.

On the bright side, this is also one of the easiest marketing "oopsies" to fix and stay ahead of!

Check out our guide on how to fix your ads (and save a ton of money!)

You've launched paid advertising campaigns on Facebook, Instagram, or Google Ads. Your creative looks professional, your targeting is strategic, and initial results are promising. Then, after a few weeks, something changes: engagement drops, click-through rates decline, and your cost per conversion....

🌽 Hot take: Most marketing advice given to Iowa businesses isn’t written for Iowans. It was written for venture-backed startups in cities where people care more about the next networking expo than whether the Cyclones or the Hawks are going to win this weekend.

Around here? People will debate Casey’s pizza vs. “real pizza” harder than most marketing strategies (and that is a valid argument)

Customers make decisions based on who they know, who shows up in the community, and whether your business actually feels like it belongs in corn country (and shares those values)

That’s why marketing efforts that are spun by someone sitting in California who’s never been to Boone, Ames, Carroll, or Ogden tends to fall flat.

Our owner Kaycee might have had one foot in Colorado and one in Iowa for a few years… but Creative Ghost was built for Iowa businesses and the way people here actually think.

So we wrote a blog about it...!

If you've ever Googled "marketing advice Iowa" hoping to find something actually useful, you've probably landed on a national directory, a generic listicle written by someone who's never been to Iowa, or a government resource page that hasn't been updated since 2019.That's frustrating. And it's exac...
