About MasterBrand Studio
Helping Jacksonville businesses grow with clarity, strategy, and results — since 2016.
Cutting-Edge Marketing Technology
AI-powered websites · Proprietary tools · Modern design
MasterBrand Studio is a Jacksonville, Florida digital marketing agency and AI specialist helping small and midsize businesses across Northeast Florida grow with clarity, strategy, and measurable results. Founded by Brian Roes in 2016, we're a local team serving Jacksonville, Ponte Vedra, and St. Augustine.
The Team
Built in Jacksonville. For Jacksonville. By people who live here.
Who We Are
Your Dedicated Digital Growth Team
We're a tight-knit team of strategists, designers, writers, and engineers — every one of us works on a handful of Jacksonville accounts at a time (not the 200+ common at big agencies). You're more than just a number… you're a part of our community.
Small, Dedicated Team
Your business account is managed by a local strategist who gives you real attention and fast response. Have questions? Let's jump on Zoom… or meet for coffee.
Transparent Reporting
Succinct and accurate reports in plain English. No vanity metrics, no jargon, no hiding behind KPIs that don't matter to your bank account. We tell you what really matters.
Month-to-Month Agreements
We don't lock clients into long contracts. If we're not earning our keep, you should be able to leave. Most stay for years — because we keep earning it.
“Results-First” Culture
We measure our success by your leads, your revenue, your growth. Everything else is activity that doesn't matter if it doesn't show up in your bank account.

The Operators Behind MasterBrand Studio
Four practitioners covering the entire stack of a working agency — strategy, SEO, engineering, and design. Real people, real accountability, real wins for the businesses we serve.
Brian founded MasterBrand Studio to give Jacksonville's local service businesses the kind of brand, marketing, and digital infrastructure usually reserved for billion-dollar companies. 25+ years across digital marketing, branding, and education — paired with the day-to-day instincts of a business owner who's still in the trenches.
His career spans large-scale international brand work, sales training systems built for entire countries, and direct mentorship of dozens of small business owners. The conviction underneath all of it is simple: real marketing has to work in the real world. Strategy that looks brilliant on a slide deck but doesn't ring the phone isn't strategy — it's theater. Brian builds for the ring of the phone.
With a Master's degree in Educational Technology and a decades-long track record of training thousands of professionals, he blends the creative instincts of a brand builder with the operational discipline of a teacher and the day-to-day instincts of a business owner who's still in the trenches.
Career Highlights
- Developed a brand strategy adopted by an international multi-billion-dollar company, contributing to years of consecutive global growth
- Spearheaded sales training system creation for Mexico and Canada during a major corporate expansion
- Trained 25,000+ sales and marketing professionals over the course of his career
- Built a recurring sales base of 5,900+ monthly customers for his own business — without paid ads
- Presented live trainings at 5 international leadership conferences and 12 regional sales retreats
- Created an SMS campaign strategy reaching 3,300+ opted-in motivated customers

- Master's Degree in Educational Technology
For MasterBrand Studio clients, that translates into a founder who's built brands at every scale — from billion-dollar global campaigns to neighborhood storefronts — and brings the full weight of that experience to every business he serves.
Cory leads engineering, AI strategy, and paid media at MasterBrand Studio. A rare blend of analytical operator and creative builder — someone who can architect a high-performing site, then turn around and run the Google Ads, Local Service Ads, and tracking infrastructure that make it produce revenue.
His career spans more than two decades across web development, SEO, paid search, and emerging technology. The work is grounded in two convictions: that every dollar a business spends on marketing should be measurable, and that the right tracking and analytics setup is the difference between guessing and growing.
Over the course of his career, Cory has personally managed more than $37 million in client ad spend — translating budgets into booked jobs, qualified leads, and measurable ROI for businesses across nearly every service industry.

Lauren leads brand, UI/UX, and website design at MasterBrand Studio. A rare designer who moves fluidly between brand storytelling and the technical craft of conversion design — building digital experiences that look beautiful and move people from visitor to lead to client.
Her career spans more than two decades in the marketing and creative industries, with leadership roles as Creative Director and CEO before landing in her current focus on brand identity, UX, and experience design. The thread through all of it is a single conviction: a website that doesn't serve the user doesn't serve the business. Beautiful design is the floor, not the ceiling.
Lauren's process starts with the user — how they move, what they need to feel, what they need to see at every step — then layers brand identity, photography, and creative direction on top of an experience already engineered to convert. The result is work that's polished, intentional, and built to perform.

For MasterBrand Studio clients, that translates into websites that don't just look good — they look like you, they feel intentional from the first scroll, and every detail is built to move the right people toward the next step.
What We Believe
Our Core Values
Six values that govern how we run every Jacksonville engagement — in the client room, in the agency room, and in the community.
Great Marketing Should Be Accessible
You shouldn't need a Fortune-500 budget to do world-class marketing. We scale our process up or down without cutting quality.
Transparency Builds Trust
You see what we did, what it cost, and what it earned. No mystery work, no hidden fees, no defensive reporting.
Creativity Drives Revenue
Creative that doesn't convert is just decoration. Every design, copy, and campaign decision is measured against revenue, not applause.
Innovation Is Non-Negotiable
The Google of 2026 isn't the Google of 2023. We invest in learning, testing, and adopting — so you're never running yesterday's playbook.
Data Drives Smarter Decisions
Opinion is cheap. Data is expensive. We prioritize what works, kill what doesn't, and report on both.
Results Come First
If the work isn't generating leads or revenue, we change it. No ego, no attachment — just what's earning for you.
Our Approach
Collaborative From Day One
Every Jacksonville engagement starts with a real conversation — not a sales pitch. We listen, audit, and ask questions before we recommend anything. Then we build the plan with you, not at you.
- Kickoff discovery that listens before it prescribes.
- Strategy built with you in shared working sessions.
- Monthly review calls with your dedicated strategist.
- Plain-English reporting, never jargon-loaded slides.
- Adjust the plan when data/goals change.
Your strategist meets with you on a regular cadence to review what’s working, kill what isn’t, and adjust the roadmap. You’re not a ticket number in a queue — you’re a partner in the work.
