A 50+ person in-house marketing team that plans, launches, and manages full-funnel digital marketing for Texas businesses. Since 2016 we've delivered 1,200+ campaigns and managed $40M+ in ad spend for 300+ active clients.
Texas businesses have more growth opportunity than marketing bandwidth to capture it.
Across Dallas, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio, demand for SEO, paid ads, and content keeps growing while skilled marketing talent gets recruited away by energy, real estate, and technology companies competing for the same specialists.
When businesses do hire in-house, the cost runs well beyond the offer letter:
Texas businesses that move to a dedicated marketing team with Ocean Media reduce marketing staffing costs by 60 to 70 percent, without giving up strategy quality, turnaround times, or data security. Our team of 50+ in-house marketers integrates into your existing workflow through dedicated digital marketing services and operates on your schedule.
The most common way Texas businesses work with Ocean Media is the dedicated staffing model: one professional, a dedicated SEO expert, PPC expert, social media manager, or digital marketer, who works exclusively for your business, integrates into your workflow, and operates under your direct supervision. This is not a shared service or an outsourced task queue. It is your person, on your schedule, doing your business's work.
Professionals are matched based on your campaign volume, channel mix, ad platforms, and client industries. You meet them before the engagement starts. You set the tasks and review the output. Ocean Media handles employment, IT infrastructure, data security, and reporting tools.
Local SEO for multi-location real estate brokerages, quarterly PPC pushes for energy service providers, content calendars across multi-location healthcare practices: this is recurring, year-over-year work. A dedicated professional who has run the same accounts through multiple cycles carries that knowledge forward. That continuity is what separates dedicated staffing from project-based outsourcing.
For businesses that prefer to delegate defined work without managing staff directly, Ocean Media's project-based model handles delivery end-to-end. See engagement models for the full comparison.
From daily campaign management to Texas-specific local search, your dedicated team works across the platforms your customers already use.

Learn moreThe salary figure is only part of the story. Here is how the true cost of a Texas hire compares to a dedicated Ocean Media team.
Most Texas business owners know the salary number for a marketing hire. Fewer have run the true cost. Employer-side FICA, state unemployment tax, health insurance contributions, retirement matching, paid leave, and ad platform tools add 25 to 35 percent on top of base pay in a typical Texas business.
| In-House Marketing Staff in Texas | With Ocean Media | |
|---|---|---|
| Direct Cost | Market-rate salary for your city and experience level | |
| Employer Overhead | Employer taxes, benefits, PTO, and software on top | Included in the hourly rate |
| True Annual Cost | Substantially more than the salary figure | No hidden additions |
| Onboarding Timeline | 4–8 weeks minimum (recruiting, interviews, training) | 5–14 business days |
| Data Security | Depends on your business's own infrastructure | SOC 2 Type II Certified |
| Trial Period | None | |
| Exit Terms | Notice period, potential severance | No lock-in, no penalties |
Texas businesses working with Ocean Media report cost reductions of 60 to 70 percent on marketing staffing compared to equivalent domestic hires. For a business running multiple campaigns at once, that difference funds real growth.
Texas is one of the fastest-growing state economies in the country, with distinct local search and advertising dynamics across its major metros. This local-market knowledge is exactly where Ocean Media's team delivers consistent value.
Dallas, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio each carry distinct local search competition. A strong Google Business Profile, consistent name-address-phone data, and localized content are the difference between ranking and being buried:
Texas's economy runs heavily on energy, real estate, healthcare, and franchise-model businesses with multiple locations across the state. Coordinated campaign structures across multi-location accounts require careful account architecture and consistent reporting discipline. Ocean Media handles this setup with the same standards your business applies in-house, staged for your review before launch.
Cost-per-click in Texas metros varies widely by industry and city, with Austin and Houston carrying higher competition in tech, real estate, and energy verticals. Budget pacing and bid strategy have to account for this variation. The strategic conversations belong with your leadership team. The campaign execution behind them belongs with Ocean Media.
Sharing customer data, ad account access, and marketing platform credentials with any outside team, whether offshore or domestic, triggers specific security obligations. Below is how Ocean Media operates within each framework that applies to Texas businesses.
The TDPSA became effective July 1, 2024, making Texas the sixth state to pass major consumer data privacy legislation. It applies to businesses that process personal data of Texas residents and sets requirements for data handling, consumer rights, and security measures. Ocean Media's infrastructure operates to standards that exceed its requirements, independently audited under SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001:2013.
Your Ocean Media team works inside your existing Google Ads, Meta Business Manager, and analytics accounts under access controls you set and can revoke at any time. We do not migrate your data outside your platforms of record, and we do not retain customer data beyond what is needed to deliver the campaign work you've assigned.
Campaign work is reviewed against Google Ads and Meta advertising policies before it goes live, reducing the risk of account suspensions or policy violations. Your team reviews and approves every campaign and creative asset before it goes to market. Ocean Media staff do not contact your customers directly and do not represent your business in any public-facing capacity beyond the channels you authorize.
| Certification or Standard | Status |
|---|---|
| SOC 2 Type II | Certified |
| ISO 27001:2013 | Certified |
| Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (TDPSA) | Compliant |
| GDPR | Compliant |
| Google Ads & Meta Blueprint Certified Staff | Certified |
| FTC Safeguards Rule | Compliant |
| Client data breach history (5+ years) | Zero |
