//Burbank · Marketing agency
A marketing agency for Burbank businessesthat starts with what is actually broken.
You already have a business. The question is why the marketing is not producing enough of the right customers. We look at how buyers find you, what happens after the click, and what your current reporting can actually prove. Then we tell you what deserves the next dollar.
Work directly with our founders. No account-manager handoff.
Already operating? You are in the right place.
We work best with businesses that have customers, a real offer and a marketing budget set aside. Still forming the company, or looking for no-cost startup help? Use our free Burbank startup guide instead. It is the better starting point and it costs nothing.
What changes in Burbank.
Few cities this size carry a name like Burbank does. Warner Bros., Walt Disney Studios and NBC all sit inside the city limits, and the ecosystem around them, post houses, camera and lighting rental, prop shops, catering and every other kind of production service, gives Burbank a business base you will not find in a typical suburb. Hollywood Burbank Airport brings travelers through, and Downtown Burbank and Magnolia Park hold a genuinely local retail and dining scene.
That produces two very different sales motions in one city. A studio vendor sells business to business on reputation and referral, where the website is a credibility check rather than a lead source. A Magnolia Park shop or a family service business off Riverside Drive lives on local search and reviews. The marketing that works for one is close to useless for the other, so the first job is being honest about which business you are.
What we would look at first.
- 1Are the right people finding you?Search, maps and paid placement for the terms that carry buying intent, not the ones that only carry volume.
- 2Are you paying for the right demand?Spend against what converts, and an honest look at the demand you are buying that was never going to.
- 3Does the site finish the job?The offer, the proof and the next step, on the page the traffic actually lands on.
- 4Can the owner tell what worked?Calls, forms and bookings traced back far enough to make the next budget decision defensible.
Already have an agency? Good. Bring the report.
We will tell you what looks healthy, what we cannot verify and where we would look first. If the current setup makes sense, we will say that too. You do not have to fire anyone to get a second read.
Work you can check.
These are our clients, not Burbank clients. Every number on them is published on the study itself, so you can read the whole engagement rather than a highlight.
What we would most likely run for Burbank.
Founders stay.
The people you meet stay on the account. There is no sales handoff and no junior takeover after the contract is signed.
Yours to keep.
Accounts, domains, ad platforms and content are in your name. If we part ways you keep all of it.
Month to month.
No annual lock-in. We would rather keep the work worth renewing than hold you to a term.
//Common questions
What Burbank owners ask us first.
Are you actually local to Burbank?
No. Mining Wells is based in Irvine and serves Burbank businesses from there. There is no Burbank office and we will not list one. You work directly with the founders, which is the part that changes the outcome.
Do I need to know which service I need before I call?
No. In Burbank the more useful first question is whether you sell to studios and vendors or to the neighborhood, because that decides almost everything else.
What if I already have an agency?
Bring the report. We will tell you what looks healthy, what we cannot verify and where we would look first. If it makes sense, keeping it is a fine answer.
How do you price?
After the diagnosis, not before. Month to month, no annual lock-in, and your accounts and domains stay in your name.
Can you guarantee leads or rankings?
No. We will tell you what we expect to move and what would tell us early that the plan is wrong, which is more useful than a promise nobody can enforce.
