About Corey Koehler

Hi, this is Corey, the guy behind Corey Koehler Media.

Most marketing consultants have never worked a day in manufacturing, construction, or the trades.

They went to business school, joined an agency, and now they're telling you how to market industrial equipment, specialty machinery, or B2B services they've never touched.

I didn't take that path.

I help small B2B manufacturers dial in their marketing machine. The goal is simple: put a dollar in, get three or much more back.

I've had 19 jobs — factory worker, dishwasher, sheet metal worker, soldier and a few more. Eventually I moved and spent 17 years as a mechanical draftsman designing parts, developing product lines and sourcing vendors. My dad and grandfather ran small businesses.

I know what it's like to clock in, get your hands dirty, and watch vendors and "marketing experts" take from small businesses without giving back.

That's why, when I started doing digital marketing 20 years ago, I decided I'd work differently.

The Engineering Advantage

17 years as a mechanical draftsman and project estimator taught me how B2B actually works.

I designed parts. I sourced vendors. I lived through 6–12 month sales cycles where getting spec'd into a project's bill of materials was everything.

I know what it's like to need a specific component, research suppliers, compare options over months, and finally make a decision worth five or six figures.

That's the world my clients live in. And most marketing agencies have no idea how it works.

They treat every business like it's selling impulse purchases on Instagram. They throw you into automated campaigns designed for consumer brands spending $50K+ monthly. They talk about "brand awareness" and "engagement" while your pipeline stays empty.

I brought my engineering mindset to marketing: measure twice, cut once. Manual controls. Exact targeting. A goal of zero wasted clicks.

Why I Specialize in What Agencies Ignore

I work with B2B manufacturers, specialized trades and niche service businesses — the ones with $500K–$20M in revenue, small or no marketing team, who need qualified leads, not vanity metrics.

Over 20 years, I've worked with material handling companies, specialty manufacturers, agricultural machinery sellers, industrial equipment distributors, and precision machine shops to name a few.

These businesses don't need the tools built for companies spending $50K+ a month. Google Ads, LinkedIn, cold outreach — the right channel depends on the business. But whatever the channel, the principle is the same: at low volume and high ticket, automation needs a human steering it — or it just burns money faster.

My Approach

I don't work like most consultants because I'm not from that world.

What makes me different:

• Automation used where it earns its keep — always human-reviewed, never running wild
• No account managers — you work directly with me
• No vanity metrics — I care about qualified leads that turn into contracts
• No corporate BS — real talk about what will and won't work

I work with business owners who:

• Run $500K–$20M businesses with no dedicated marketing team
• Sell considered B2B products or services — long sales cycles, distributor channels, or both
• Are tired of agencies that don't understand their market
• Need someone who speaks their language

The Guarantee

As the son and grandson of small business owners, I know the risks you take. Every dollar matters.

That's why I guarantee results. If I can't increase your qualified leads within 30 days of your campaigns going live, I'll keep working at no charge until I do. Setup and onboarding come first — the 30-day clock starts on launch day.
