Drive Social Media Expands to 240+ Employees and Six U.S. Offices with Unified Workflow Systems

St. Louis, MO — [30 July 2025] – Drive Social Media, a performance-driven digital marketing agency headquartered in St. Louis, today announced it has grown to more than 240 employees and now operates from six U.S. offices across major regional markets—St. Louis, Nashville, Atlanta, Tampa, Miami, and Dallas. This expansion underscores the agency’s commitment to scalable growth powered by integrated workflow systems and data-driven strategy.

Founded in 2012 by CEO Josh Sample, Drive Social Media has evolved from a small St. Louis startup into a national player with nearly 2,000 active client partnerships and over $35 million in annual revenue. The agency’s mission—to deliver a minimum 3× return on investment for every client—remains central to its culture, enabled by a unified infrastructure across all locations.

Strategic Expansion Rooted in Data & Demand

Drive Social Media’s regional office strategy is carefully calibrated. Rather than rapid or reactive expansion, each new location launch is guided by client demand and market opportunity. St. Louis remains the agency’s flagship, with 42% of staff residing in the Midwest. Other markets—Nashville, Atlanta, Tampa, Miami, and Dallas—serve rapidly growing local economies where small to mid-sized businesses (SMBs) seek ROI-focused marketing support.

This deliberate growth allowed Drive to onboard over 240 professionals, each trained on consistent systems and service standards. The scale reflects both organic demand and retention of talent committed to Drive’s high-performance, client-first approach.

Unified Systems for a Consistent Client Experience

As DSM grew, it invested heavily in internal infrastructure to uphold service quality across regions. Using tools like Zapier automation, Cyclr integrations, and their proprietary Marketing Milk reporting platform, the agency built a framework that supports real-time performance tracking and campaign optimization across offices.

These systems allow consistent execution—whether a client works with St. Louis or Tampa—without geographic silos. Campaign dashboards, data attribution, and creative content libraries are shared nationally, yet each office retains the flexibility to adapt strategies to local market nuances.

“We’re committed to serving businesses with the same level of care, clarity, and ROI, no matter where they are,” said Sample. “Our technology backbone ensures clients get precision from a national team, with personalized attention from locals.”

Benefits for Vertical-Specific Industries

Drive serves over 2,000 businesses across verticals such as retail, healthcare, hospitality, home services, dental, and education. The six-office footprint allows regional teams to learn from campaign strategies that succeed in similar markets — and then scale insights across the network.

For example:

1. A roofing client in Nashville benefits from campaign tactics proven in Atlanta
2. A dental or healthcare brand in Miami draws on workflows refined in St. Louis
3. A restaurant in Tampa leverages social advertising playbooks tested in Dallas

This cross-market intelligence enables faster campaign scaling, efficient creative iteration, and superior outcomes—all anchored by unified systems for transparency and reporting.

Recognitions & National Credibility

Drive Social Media’s disciplined expansion and client-first performance model have earned notable recognition:

1. A multi-year placement on the Inc. 5000 Midwest list, reflecting 46% revenue growth over two years
2. Inclusion in Adweek’s Fastest Growing Agencies list twice
3. Local acclaim in key markets such as St. Louis and Miami

These honors reinforce Drive’s reputation as an agency that not only grows fast—but grows thoughtfully.

Looking Ahead: Building on a Scalable Foundation

As the agency scales further—with plans to enhance AI capabilities, expand service verticals, and deepen local market expertise—Drive’s focus remains consistent: to deliver measurable growth by blending technology, analytics, creativity, and strategy.

Future goals include:

1. Expanding collaborative technology systems (such as Marketing Milk and Cyclr) for real-time client visibility
2. Introducing vertical-specific specializations in newer office locations
3. Deepening partnerships with SMBs to replicate success stories across regions

Drive Social Media invites businesses looking for transparent, ROI-based marketing partnerships to explore their national capabilities with local execution.
