Outcompete is a family-owned, fully independent full service agency that began in 2009 as Leap Tie, specifically for the funeral service profession. Prior to that, Owners Sean & Michele Fagan have professional relationships in the profession going back to the early 1990s. Our experience was earned by running extremely successful campaigns for some of the biggest names in the profession. Our focus is family-owned funeral homes, cemeteries, and cremation companies. As consolidation has collected companies, independent funeral homes have fewer choices for truly unique marketing partners. Local agencies have never understood the language and intricacies of such a delicate service business. We invite you to learn more at www.outcompetemarketing.com
