-- Northern Media Services has announced the addition of revenue growth planning to its AI-powered marketing approach. The agency's recent update, effective as of October 5, 2026, introduces a framework designed to help local businesses assess their marketing position, identify potential growth opportunities, and develop data-informed strategies to support revenue growth.

The update comes as a Gallup Pathways to Wealth survey, conducted with JPMorganChase and the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, found that 71% of business owners have no business plan, while owners with a plan in place were more likely to report year-over-year revenue growth. The same research found that among owners without a detailed plan, just 18% were highly confident they could write one that a potential partner or investor would consider satisfactory, while 25% said they would not know how to write one at all. Northern Media Services says its approach to revenue growth is designed to address this planning gap by helping local businesses understand their marketing position and identify areas where growth opportunities may exist.
"More marketing activity does not always translate into more revenue," said Charles Mckinnon, CEO of Northern Media Services. "Businesses need to understand which opportunities are contributing to growth so they can make better decisions about where to focus their marketing resources."
The agency says its framework combines AI-led analysis with human review, examining more than 500 business and marketing data points, including business niche, location, traffic sources, conversion activity, and customer follow-up processes. According to the agency, the analysis draws on third-party data sources, such as Google Ads, alongside its own first-party data. The assessment, which can be completed in about five minutes, evaluates how businesses attract, convert, and engage potential customers, helping uncover gaps that may inform marketing decisions and shape broader revenue growth strategies.
Following the assessment, businesses receive a 12-month marketing roadmap outlining recommended activities, projected budgets, estimated customer acquisition costs, and revenue scenarios across each stage of the plan. Each month of the roadmap sets out the services involved, the budget required, and the estimated revenue outcome for that period. The roadmap allows businesses to review potential marketing directions and expected resource requirements before deciding whether to proceed with implementation.
For businesses that choose to move forward with implementation, Northern Media Services applies the roadmap across the areas identified during planning, translating the findings into targeted marketing activities across website improvements, search marketing, advertising, and customer engagement. The agency says implementation is guided by ongoing performance tracking, allowing businesses to refine activities as results are evaluated against the objectives established in the growth plan. Businesses can also reach a human marketing specialist through a "Talk with a Human" option built into the platform.
"Effective growth marketing is not a set-and-forget process," added Mckinnon. "Campaign performance needs to be reviewed continuously as customer behavior and market conditions change. Our platform uses ongoing data analysis to identify where adjustments may be needed and inform future marketing decisions."
