How it started
Darren launched Thrive Management so he could dedicate more time to his nonprofit efforts with the Foundation for a Drug-Free World, where he travels nationwide to train teachers on prevention education. He wanted to build a business that would grow not only in revenue but in impact.
How it's going
Today, Thrive Management helps small and mid-sized companies boost their local search rankings and attract real customers without heavy ad spend. Their proven model delivers results: better visibility, more inbound calls, and consistent client growth.
Although the agency operates with a lean team, running a growing business means balancing client acquisition, retention, and marketing investment. Darren is focused on expanding his client community and creating systems that allow the company to scale sustainably.
Why Revenued
When Darren began looking for business funding, he needed a solution based on business revenue, not personal credit. The Revenued Flex Line offered exactly that—fast access to working capital with no origination, draw, or maintenance fees.
The approval process was quick, and funds were available within days. He now uses his Revenued Business Card to manage travel costs, rental cars, and everyday operating expenses, keeping his accounting organized and separate from personal spending.
Having flexible working capital allows him to stay focused on what matters most: serving clients and supporting the mission that inspired the business from the start.
About the Digital Marketing Industry
The digital marketing industry is essential for helping small and local businesses compete in an online-first marketplace. Agencies like Thrive Management specialize in local SEO, ensuring businesses get found in Google searches, attract new customers, and increase walk-ins without relying heavily on paid ads. As competition online grows, many marketing firms face challenges in scaling teams, maintaining client relationships, and managing operating expenses. Flexible funding and access to business credit are critical for digital marketing agencies to cover technology, payroll, and growth initiatives while continuing to deliver measurable results for clients.
