Kevin Plumlee

Your growth engine has a brain now.

I find what's broken between your AI, marketing, IT systems, and operations, then hand your team the blueprint and coach them until it runs. Every dollar traceable. Every call captured. Every system connected.

The diagnosis

Four things are almost certainly broken.

I've opened the stack on more than 300 healthcare organizations, from major hospital systems to nationwide behavioral health networks. The same four problems surface again and again, and each one carries a number.

The Answer Gap

69% of inquiries arrive after hours

Nights, weekends, holidays. The phones ring. Nobody answers. More than 60% of callers won't leave a voicemail: they hang up and dial the next facility. In behavioral health, where a family in crisis decides in minutes, this single gap costs more than any ad campaign could recover.

The Blind Spot

$0 in ad spend you can trace to a patient

You spend millions on Google, Meta, programmatic. You see clicks, impressions, CTR. What you cannot see: a single admission. The question every CEO asks (what did we spend to acquire that patient?) goes unanswered. Seven-figure budget decisions in the dark.

3Going cold

The Dead Zone

40% of CRM leads go cold, uncontacted

Leads sitting in your CRM. Aging. Nobody working them. You paid real money to generate those names, and the pipeline is rusting. That's revenue you already bought, sitting uncollected.

4Exposed

The Compliance Time Bomb

1 audit away from catastrophe

Meta tracking pixels leaking PHI. Missing BAAs with marketing vendors. HIPAA exposures buried in your stack. Section 508 violations on your web properties. One audit, one breach, one lawsuit away from six-figure fines and a shattered reputation.

I find which of these are costing you money, put a number on it, and hand your team a plan for each fix, then stay until it's done.

How I'm different

Most consultants hand you a deck and leave. Most agencies never leave. I hand your team the blueprint and teach them to build.

  1. 1

    I plan with you, not for you.

    No locked-room strategy sessions. No dramatic deck reveal two weeks later. Your team is in every workshop, every prioritization, every decision. The plan is built with your people in the room, so they own it the day it lands.

  2. 2

    I stay while your team builds.

    The hard part is never the plan. It's execution. Weekly working sessions: we review what your team shipped, unblock what stalled, and pressure-test the next step. Through vendor reviews and CRM rollout decisions, as advisor. Until it runs, run by your people.

  3. 3

    I speak builder, not just boardroom.

    "We recommend a CRM migration" is a consulting sentence. "Here's the field architecture, the workflow map, and the training plan for your admins" is a Kevin sentence. I talk architecture with your CTO and campaign structure with your media buyers, then teach both.

  4. 4

    I've built this before.

    $500M+ in healthcare ad spend. An 80-person agency bootstrapped from two people. Sold to SPM Group, where I led the integration of IT, marketing, and product systems across four companies. Then Unlock Health acquired SPM and combined eight companies; I was at the center of that too, connecting infrastructure and unifying tech stacks across the whole organization. I don't theorize about what works. I've built it, scaled it, sold it, and integrated it.

  5. 5

    I leave you self-sufficient.

    The goal was never dependency. It's transfer. Documented SOPs. Trained teams. Configured tools your people configured themselves, with me advising. When I step back, everything keeps running, and your people know how to improve it.

How I work

Audit. Blueprint. Enablement.

I don't run your marketing, your CRM, or your ad accounts. I show your team exactly what to build, hand them the plan, and coach them until it runs without me.

  1. 1

    Diagnostic Audit

    2-3 weeks

    Know exactly what's broken and what it costs.

    An end-to-end assessment of your operation: capture, attribution, pipeline, systems, compliance. Every gap documented. Every problem quantified in dollars, not adjectives.

    • Scored assessment across all six components
    • A dollar figure on every problem I find
    • Prioritized findings your board can read in one sitting
  2. 2

    Growth Blueprint

    3-4 weeks

    The plan your team will actually execute.

    The prioritized build plan: system architecture, vendor evaluations, sequencing, and budgets, designed in working sessions with the people who will own it, so they own it the day it lands.

    • System architecture and integration map
    • Vendor shortlists with negotiation guidance
    • A sequenced 12-month roadmap with owners and budgets
  3. 3

    Team Enablement

    Quarterly retainer

    Your people, running the system without me.

    I stay through the build: weekly working sessions, unblocking, vendor-call support, and training, in your tools, with your team, until everything runs on its own.

    • Weekly working sessions and office hours
    • SOPs and training delivered as each system goes live
    • A team that no longer needs me

Enterprise impact

Proven at scale. Major health systems. Nationwide networks.

Three engagements, three verticals, every number below reported by the client's own systems.

Who runs the work

Built by someone who has built actual companies.

I founded and scaled Dreamscape Marketing from two people to more than 80, building it into the go-to behavioral health marketing agency in the country: 300+ healthcare organizations served, $500M+ in managed spend. Built proprietary AI and automation tools. Sold the company to SPM Group, where I led the integration of IT systems, marketing platforms, and products across four merged companies. When Unlock Health acquired SPM and combined eight companies into one, I was at the center of that too, connecting infrastructure, unifying tech stacks, and making everything actually work together. 15+ years of building, scaling, selling, and integrating, applied directly to your operation.
