One Year of Agency Ten10: Celebrating 365 Days of Bold Moves, Big Wins & Brand Building

Agency Ten10 • October 10, 2025

Today marks one year since Agency Ten10 officially launched —and what a year it’s been. Born from a mission to help Kansas City’s small businesses grow with clarity, creativity, and purpose, Ten10 started as a dream and quickly grew into a full-fledged agency trusted by local entrepreneurs, visionaries, and growing brands.

This milestone is more than just a birthday—it’s a moment to celebrate the wins, reflect on the journey, and gear up for what’s next.

From Startup to Standout: What We Built This Year

In our first 12 months, we’ve done more than just “start a business.” We’ve helped other businesses thrive. Here’s a look at what we've accomplished in year one:

✦ Launched & Rebranded Local Businesses

We partnered with small business owners across Kansas City to bring their visions to life. Whether they were launching for the first time or rebranding for growth, we delivered custom logos , visual identities , and brand messaging designed to resonate.

✦ Built Smart, Strategic Websites

We developed modern, mobile-friendly websites that don’t just look great—they’re built with strategy, structure, and SEO in mind. From e-commerce to service-based sites, our goal has always been to create digital homes that convert.

✦ Delivered Impactful Visual Content

From branding photography and headshots , we helped our clients show up with clarity and confidence online. It’s not about being flashy—it’s about being clear, compelling, and consistent.

✦ Grew Visibility & Reach

We executed strategies for search engine optimization (SEO) , Google and Facebook advertising , and ongoing social media content for a wide range of clients—on top of growing our own brand. Whether through organic or paid channels, our focus remained on visibility with purpose.

Collaborating, Connecting, and Showing Up

This past year wasn’t just about deliverables—it was about connection.

We:

  • Collaborated with local brands on social media campaigns and giveaways to support fellow small businesses and grow together.

  • Participated in community events like the Risk Takers Empowerment Exchange and another Young Entrepreneurs Roundtable through the Lee’s Summit Chamber.

  • Joined the Marketing Committee for Kansas City’s 2026 World Cup initiatives, bringing our creativity and local insight to one of the city’s biggest upcoming events—and proudly built the official website for Lee’s Summit’s campaign: LSGoal26.org.

We’re proud to not just serve Kansas City—but be actively involved in its growth.

And Somehow, We Still Had a Life

Building a business from the ground up is no small task, but this past year reminded us that life and work are meant to coexist—not compete.

We:

  • Watched our kids start middle school and high school

  • Celebrated birthdays, milestones , and even managed a bit of travel

  • Continued refining our process and boundaries so we could build a business that works for our clients and our lives

What’s Ahead for Ten10

As we step into year two, we’re feeling more grounded, more focused, and more aligned than ever. You can expect more:

  • Strategic brand development

  • Website design & builds

  • Social media content and campaigns

  • SEO and digital ads

  • Photography, reels, and video storytelling

  • Education, tools, and resources for small business owners

We're scaling with intention and staying true to what matters: purposeful work, meaningful impact, and genuine connection.

Thank You

To our clients, community, friends, and fellow entrepreneurs—thank you. Your support, trust, referrals, and encouragement helped make this first year unforgettable.

If you're ready to build a brand that shows up with clarity and purpose, we're here for it.
