Niko Miles – Director of Operations, NeoGenix
Having successfully opened NeoGenix during a pandemic, I was greatly confident in my ability to market the clinic at the end of 2020. However, I knew going into 2021 I wanted to expand the brand and reach of NeoGenix to another level. A mutual friend introduced DJ and I because he thought we would work well together.
During the initial meeting, DJ and his team performed a thorough business development analysis of NeoGenix. Within minutes I knew Stout Factor Marketing was exactly what I was looking for.

Having successfully opened NeoGenix during a pandemic, I was greatly confident in my ability to market the clinic at the end of 2020. However, I knew going into 2021 I wanted to expand the brand and reach of NeoGenix to another level. A mutual friend introduced DJ and I because he thought we would work well together. During the initial meeting, DJ and his team performed a thorough business development analysis of NeoGenix. Within minutes I knew Stout Factor Marketing was exactly what I was looking for.
When you hire Stout Factor Marketing, you are hiring a passionate, caring, and extremely knowledgeable team. They care about my business as much as I do and that is saying a lot because I eat, breathe, and sleep my business. I made an initial radio buy at the end of 2020 and I was on 2 radio stations. DJ and his team through their experience and connections in the Charlotte market now have me on 6 radio stations, with way more frequency, and my overall radio budget only went up about 40%.
When I wanted to make a TV commercial, DJ found me an affordable option with heavy frequency that has already produced significant leads in just the first week. DJ’s biggest strength is his ability to get the client the absolute most bang for their buck. He fights tooth and nail to make sure the value of each dollar you spend is maximized. He gets you extra spots, tag lines, sponsorships, live mentions, you name it, he will find a way to get your brand out there. DJ is also a master at conceptualizing an idea and turning it into a reality. He writes all my ad copy and has a knack for coming up with a key one liner or catch phrase.
With the utmost confidence I highly recommend Stout Factor Marketing. Many people do not realize when you hire an ad agency, you are essentially hiring them for free. The commission comes from the media outlet, not the business they represent. Therefore, what you are getting is a free team of marketing and branding experts that wants nothing more than to grow your business. If that does not sound like a no brainer, I do not know what is.
A huge thank you to DJ and his team for all they have done for my business.
