Colleagues describe him as "There are a lot of digital marketing agencies out there, a lot working with golf and country clubs. But few works exclusively with private clubs. Over the years I’ve seen the work Creative Golf Marketing, a CMAA Education Partner, is doing with Facebook Ads, email marketing, Activity Level Indicators and custom landing pages. When I started at The Fountaingrove Club, I got the chance to work alongside Mr. Tom Coburn, Director of ALI Trends. Not long after that I heard Mr. Steve Graves and Mr. AJ Redetzke on a CMAA webinar talking about membership retention for the private club industry. I took several pages of notes and was hooked by their insight. A few days later I heard these gentlemen on a CMAA mico pod talking what clubs can expect when reopening from the COVID-19 “shelter in place” order. They discussed clubs discounting initiation fees, lowering dues, running promotions to drive new leads and more. It was a short conversation, but again, I took pages of notes and immediately emailed Steve and AJ my thoughts on the discussion. Steve is always quick to respond and has a way with words. He is genuine, is passionate about this industry, and understands the needs and wants of his clients. I have enjoyed learning about him, appreciate our in-depth conversations, and truly value our professional relationship. While I only have experience working with Creative Golf Marketing on the ALI reports, I trust the experience we’ve had there would be a good indication for the professionalism he and his team bring to every project they work on. I would highly recommend Steve for anything project put before him. The game is better with him in it.", "I have worked with Steve on multiple membership marketing programs and the results his company produced were beyond expectations. Steve and his company are great to work with. Steve is an expert in the country club membership recruitment business.", and "I have worked with Creative Golf Marketing at two top private Clubs. Both times we have had tremendous success with his custom tailored programs. Steve's passion, knowledge and professionalism are outstanding. Everyone with his company was efficient and prompt making it a pleasure to do business. I would recommend Creative Golf Marketing to anyone looking to reignite the enthusiasm of the Board, Members & staff for member recruitment! I am always excited to see what new and innovative projects Steve is working on."
