Grand Rapids Digital Marketing & Branding That Wakes Up Your Business
You Might Be Wondering…
- I’m rebuilding my site—do I really need to think about SEO right now?
- What should I post on social media for my business?
- Can one agency help with branding, content, and ads—or do I need to hire a bunch of people?
That’s where we come in.

What we do
What Does Wise Bear Actually Do?
Wise Bear Creative is a full-service digital marketing and branding agency based in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

You get:
Designer who only design
Writers who only write
Strategists who only build systems
All with a unified team that knows how to bring it all together.
The best work doesn’t come from wearing every hat.
It comes from people who go deep in their craft—and know how to collaborate at the highest level.
We help businesses build real momentum with strategy, content, and creative that actually works—online and off.

What Services Does Wise Bear Offer?
If you're wondering:

Meet Jake
He Gets the Business, the Buyer, and the Brand
Before launching Wise Bear, Jake spent 16 years in CPG sales—growing craft beverage brands across national markets with clear strategy and consistent storytelling.
He didn’t come from ad school.
He came from the real world—where what works matters more than what wins awards.
He built and ran his own lifestyle brand.
He led sales and marketing execution for national beverage companies.
He’s been on the front lines of business—and he knows what it’s like to build something that matters.
That’s what shaped Wise Bear.
Jake understands that the best work comes from:
- People who know their craft
- Teams that collaborate without ego
- Agencies that listen like owners—not like marketers

Together, we're reshaping the digital landscape.
And at the heart of it all?
He’s a dad of two boys who’d rather be off-grid in his ‘91 Toyota camper van, chasing sunsets, campfires, and ideas that haven’t been done yet.
Wise Bear was built around those values.
It’s not just a service—it’s a team of specialists working together to help brands grow with clarity and confidence.
Our Process
Consult. Create. Captivate
Digital marketing has a lot of moving parts—strategy, content, design, SEO, paid media—and most businesses don’t know where to start, or how it all fits together.
That’s where Wise Bear comes in.
We help you cut through the noise, focus your energy, and build a system that works.
Consult
We start with clarity. Who are you? What are you building? What do your customers actually need to hear? We’ll take stock of what you’ve got, figure out what’s holding you back, and show you where to focus to actually move the needle.
01
Create
Then our team gets to work—designers design, writers write, and SEO experts optimize. We build the foundation: your message, your visuals, your structure. All in sync.
02
Captivate
Once your brand is built, we launch with purpose. Paid media, organic search, social—all pointing in the same direction. Because momentum doesn’t come from doing more. It comes from doing the right things, at the right time, with the right team.
03
We had the pleasure of working with Jake and Jeff on our brand strategy for our vineyard and winery, Thistlevale Vineyard & Winery, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. They completely understood our values, mission, and the vibe we were going for—right from the start. They were super responsive, extremely personable, and handled our feedback with so much grace and skill. The execution was excellent, and we absolutely love what they came up with. If you’re looking for a team that gets it and delivers, these are your people. Highly recommend!
