A digital-first advertising agency based in Spokane has secured three major automotive and marine clients in Montana, marking a significant expansion for the growing firm that specializes in helping small and medium-sized businesses increase their market presence.
2X Sales, founded by Jerry Thrasher, will now handle digital strategy, website management, content creation, and local advertising for Clark Hyundai, Clark Nissan, and the newly rebranded Clark Marine Center, all operating under the Cam Clark Auto Group umbrella in Kalispell, Montana.
The partnership represents a natural progression for the agency, which has built a growing reputation in the automotive, marine, and home services sectors throughout the Inland Northwest region. The three dealerships will benefit from the agency’s comprehensive digital marketing approach, combining traditional advertising with modern online strategies.
“Helping local businesses grow is what 2X Sales is all about,” said Jerry Thrasher, founder of 2X Sales. “Partnering with respected brands like Cam Clark Auto Group is a natural fit. We’re excited to bring measurable results and creative energy to their marketing efforts.”
The agency’s approach focuses on delivering measurable results without requiring businesses to overspend on their marketing budgets. This philosophy has helped 2X Sales transition from a solo consultancy into a trusted resource for companies across Eastern Washington, Northern Idaho, and Northwest Montana seeking to strengthen their brand visibility and generate more qualified leads.
Thrasher brings substantial industry-specific expertise to the new partnership. With over a decade of specialized marketing experience in the automotive sector, he has worked with major brands including Nissan, Mazda, Hyundai, Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, and Ram. This background provides a solid foundation for understanding the unique challenges and opportunities facing automotive dealerships in competitive regional markets.
The founder’s credentials extend beyond practical experience. Thrasher holds a master’s degree in Instructional Design and Technology and undergraduate degrees in Business, IT Management, and Marketing. He has also earned a graduate certificate in AI Systems Management and more than 20 additional marketing-related certifications, demonstrating a commitment to staying current with evolving marketing technologies and methodologies.
The Spokane-based marketing agency offers a comprehensive suite of services designed to help businesses double their visibility and sales. These services include website design, local search engine optimization, social media management, pay-per-click advertising, and traditional advertising. The multi-channel approach enables clients to reach potential customers across multiple touchpoints while maintaining consistent messaging across platforms.
For the three Kalispell dealerships, this partnership means access to sophisticated digital marketing strategies typically reserved for larger organizations with substantial in-house marketing departments. Small and medium-sized businesses often struggle to compete with national chains that have extensive marketing budgets and dedicated teams. By partnering with specialized agencies, these businesses can level the playing field and implement professional-grade marketing campaigns tailored to their specific markets and customer bases.
The announcement comes at a time when automotive dealerships face increasing pressure to maintain strong online presences. Modern car buyers typically conduct extensive online research before visiting dealerships, making digital visibility and reputation management critical components of successful sales strategies. Effective website design, search engine optimization, and targeted advertising can significantly impact a dealership’s ability to attract qualified leads and convert them into customers.
The Kalispell market presents unique opportunities and challenges for automotive marketing. Located in Northwest Montana, the area serves as a gateway to Glacier National Park and attracts both locals and tourists year-round. Marketing strategies must account for seasonal fluctuations, outdoor recreation interests, and the specific transportation needs of residents in mountain communities.
Clark Marine Center’s inclusion in the partnership reflects the diversification of the Cam Clark Auto Group’s offerings. It demonstrates 2X Sales’ versatility in handling a range of product lines across the powersports and recreational vehicle sectors. Marine marketing requires specialized knowledge of seasonal buying patterns, recreational trends, and the lifestyle aspirations that drive purchasing decisions in this category.
The agency’s growth trajectory reflects broader trends in how small and medium-sized businesses approach marketing. Rather than building internal marketing departments with multiple specialists, many companies now partner with agencies that offer comprehensive marketing services while remaining flexible and responsive to changing market conditions. This model allows businesses to access expertise across multiple marketing disciplines without the overhead of full-time employees.
As 2X Sales expands its client roster in the automotive and marine sectors, the agency’s emphasis on personalized service and measurable results positions it well for continued growth across the Inland Northwest. The three new clients represent not only a business milestone but also validation of the agency’s approach to helping local businesses compete effectively in increasingly digital marketplaces.
