Introduction: Let’s Talk Business – Meet Cyndy Schatz & AgencyUP, Inc.

If you’ve ever felt like you were working harder than ever yet somehow standing still in your business growth, you’re not alone. I’ve been there—watching opportunity pass by because there just weren’t enough hours in the day, the right people on the team, or the right plan to make it all come together.

I’m Cyndy Schatz, Founder and CEO of AgencyUP, Inc. For more than 25 years, I’ve been in the trenches of advertising, web development, branding, SEO, social media, and paid advertising. I owned a full-service advertising agency helping more than a hundred clients scale to multi-million-dollar revenues—one even surpassing $100 million. I’ve seen what works, what doesn’t, and what makes the difference between spinning your wheels and building unstoppable momentum.

I created AgencyUP to be the resource I wish I had when I was starting out—an accessible way for small business owners, marketing agencies, and real estate brokerages to get C-Level business and marketing expertise without the million-dollar executive salary. One of the ways I do that is through my AgencyUP Fractional CMO services— in which, I work directly with only a select number of businesses, stepping in as their temporary or project-based Chief Marketing Officer to design, create and train to implement exclusive strategies that move the needle fast. Rather than pay for a full-time CMO, I step in, elevate your team, and leave you with a marketing machine to accelerate your growth based on predetermined goals.

With AgencyUP, Inc. I wanted to make sure it's more than just me. I have put together an impressive team of ten C-Level business and marketing experts—each with 15+ years in their field—who, along with me, have created the AgencyUP courses, programs, and training we offer. Together, we deliver the most comprehensive business and marketing education that’s designed to facilitate and accelerate growth.

Why AgencyUP Exists

Over the years, I’ve seen a pattern. Small businesses and agencies have the drive, talent, and heart, but they often lack one critical ingredient: strategic leadership. Without it, marketing can become a patchwork of disconnected efforts—an ad campaign here, a social post there—none of it working together to build sustainable growth.

I founded AgencyUP to bridge that gap. We give businesses the high-level insight and action plans they need to:

• Attract more qualified leads

• Build brand visibility and authority

• Strengthen client relationships for long-term loyalty

• Improve operational efficiency so growth isn’t chaotic

Our mission is simple: help you grow faster, smarter, and with more confidence.

How Our Programs Work

At AgencyUP, we believe in a teach-and-apply model. Our programs don’t just tell you what to do—we show you how to do it and support you as you implement it.

Here’s how we make that happen:

1. Focused Training Sessions – Whether it’s a live workshop or on-demand course, you’ll get clear, step-by-step training from experts who’ve been where you are and know how to get where you want to go.

2. Real-World Playbooks – We give you proven strategies, templates, and checklists so you can skip the trial-and-error phase and start seeing results faster.

3. Expert Insights Across Disciplines – Our team covers everything from branding and content marketing to lead generation, SEO, paid advertising, and operational systems.

4. Relationship-First Growth Approach – We believe that the strongest businesses are built on trust and genuine care for clients. Our programs show you how to create the kind of client relationships that lead to loyalty, referrals, and higher lifetime value.

What Makes Us Different

Plenty of programs can teach you marketing tactics. Few will teach you how to think and operate like a C-Level leader in your own business.

We focus on:

• Clarity – No jargon, no fluff, just clear steps and strategies.

• Customization – Every business is different, so we help you adapt strategies to fit your exact needs.

• Accountability – Growth doesn’t happen by accident. Our structure keeps you moving forward.

• Experience-Driven Guidance – Everything we teach is based on decades of real-world wins (and lessons learned) across dozens of industries.

A Quick Example

One small retail brand we worked with came to us overwhelmed. They had a great product, loyal customers, and strong sales in spurts—but no consistent growth. After a strategy session, we overhauled their marketing calendar, tightened their brand messaging, and implemented a simple lead nurture system. Within six months, their monthly revenue had doubled—and the owner finally had breathing room to focus on new product development instead of constant scrambling.

That’s the kind of transformation AgencyUP was built to create.

Why This Matters Now

The business landscape is shifting faster than ever. Consumer habits change overnight. Platforms you rely on for leads can raise prices or disappear. Competitors aren’t just across town—they’re across the globe.

If you’re going to thrive, you need more than marketing “ideas.” You need a plan that’s rooted in experience, tested in real markets, and designed to adapt quickly when things change. That’s what we deliver.

What’s Next for You

If you’re a business owner, marketing agency leader, or real estate brokerage manager who’s ready to:

• Build a marketing plan that actually works

• Get your team executing consistently

• Create client relationships that last years, not months

…then you’re in the right place.

Over the coming weeks, I’ll be sharing strategies, tools, and behind-the-scenes insights you can put to work immediately. These won’t be generic tips you can find in any Google search—they’ll be practical, proven steps you can implement right away.
