NextLevel Thinking is a unique and highly sought-after Houston-based marketing strategy firm that helps you understand who you are, why your clients buy from you, and how your company is situated amongst your competitors.
We take that knowledge and combine the disciplines of marketing strategy and creative thinking to tailor a growth strategy specifically for your organization.
In other words, we make it our business to understand your business, your client, and you. We think you’ll like the result!

NextLevel Thinking has a tried-and-true brand building methodology that produces a successful marketing strategy and a step-by-step approach for executing that plan.
We become part of your team. We spend time getting to know your business, from the inside out, learning what makes you tick and what can help you grow and prosper.



From a very early age, you are taught to color between the lines. The folks at NextLevel Thinking must have missed that class. These guys like to color outside the lines!
The only way to uncover your organizational purpose and communicate it in a way that inspires current and potential clients to care is to challenge the status quo, push in new and sometimes uncomfortable directions, and refuse mediocrity!
Those are our words, but read what clients are saying about us:

Discover who you are, understand what business you are actually in, and confidently articulate your why.

a photographer or archivist. Photos and capturing memories have been important to me for as long as I can remember.
The eureka moment is when you figure out what a client wants. It can be a bit of a dance initially but seeing a client excited about the work you’re doing for them is the most rewarding part of the job!

a psychologist!
My absolute best days are when we’re able to help a client see their business differently. It’s usually at this point when things begin to take off and the effectiveness of what we can do for them begins to be realized both internally and externally in a very powerful way.
don’t get too high on the highs and too low on the lows. This advice was from my high school basketball coach.
I think it would be so cool to be able to fly. The different vantage points would be amazing and the ability to get places quickly would be awesome.
As a young fella, I probably wanted to be the usual things like a policeman, fireman, etc. But from high school on, I have always wanted to own my own business. In graduate school, my buddies were sure that I would make a living helping people/organizations see things from a different perspective. They were right!
Be prepared to deliver absolute excellence, while being part of a very caring, results-oriented, drama-free work environment.
There are a whole bunch of food categories that I wish had zero calories. If I had to pick one, it would definitely be tortilla chips with guacamole, chili con queso and/or salsa.
My favorite thing to do, by far, is to hang out with my family…Tracy, Erin, Trey and Kyle. My peeps!
I think giving the client what they need, not just what they want really defines NextLevel Thinking. We have seen some extraordinary results from those clients that have really embraced this collaborative approach.
