Our Beginnings

201 Creative was founded in 2019 by Jared Bauman and Kaitlin Cooper. This is their third company working together on, but the first where they’re both on the ownership team together.

Jared brings 20+ years of growing companies through digital marketing. Kaitlin has been alongside him to help execute the details that make marketing efforts actually work.

Our Approach

There’s no one-size-fits-all strategy. A successful marketing strategy must be based on the business, its target market, and what can be tested and measured.

  • Create a plan based on goals, market, and resources
  • Execute across the channels that matter most today
  • Track outcomes and adjust based on data
  • Report clearly so stakeholders know what’s working

Our Expertise

Jared Bauman is a recognized authority in SEO, known for actionable insights and practical execution. He’s the host of the long-running Niche Pursuits podcast and a contributor to Search Engine Land.
