[04] Proven results

The ads perform, not just the content.

For a 134-location car wash brand, I took Meta ads from occasional boosts to a running program: 21 campaigns across grand openings, membership promos, holidays, and store anniversaries in six states. Here's what 4.5 months and $5.7K in ad spend did.

Standout campaign: a $299 seasonal promotion

Reached 44,000+ people and drove 1,142 landing-page visits at $0.26 each, with a 7.3% click-through rate, more than 4x the 1.71% Meta median for traffic campaigns.

[05] How the retainer runs

A channel, not a one-off.

01

Discovery call

We map your goals, audience, and offers, and pick the content that moves them.

02

Content plan

A monthly calendar so nothing gets posted at random. Every piece has a job.

03

Shoot day

One efficient session banks weeks of photo and video across your locations.

04

Edit & publish

Edited to trend, captioned, and scheduled. You approve, I post.

05

Report & iterate

A plain-English performance read each month on a custom dashboard, then we double down on what works.

[07] Behind the lens

Ethan Deal.

Founder of EthanDTV LLC. From May to October 2026 I was Advertising Manager (contract) for ModWash, a car wash brand with 134 locations across the U.S., where I built their Meta ad program from occasional boosts into 21 campaigns across six states. I build content on strategy, not guesswork, pairing marketing thinking with photo and video people actually stop to watch. Whether you need an ongoing content partner or a one-time shoot, I've got you covered.

Through EthanDTV I've produced work for brands and artists across the map: directing and photographing a season-long campaign for apparel brand FRAWD, shooting a commercial for Cost Plus Processing, and producing a music video for Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum artist ILOVEMAKONNEN.

I'm finishing a Marketing degree at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, with earlier stops in real estate marketing at LFG Homes and editorial photography for Stroll Magazine. The throughline: I understand the algorithm and the business behind it.
