Hero Marketing Founder
Everyone is unique. We all come from different backgrounds, have different stories, and have walked different roads. Businesses in various sectors have diverse visions and strategic missions. While home services marketing may need one strategy, healthcare marketing may require a totally different pathway.
Nonetheless, one common theme continues to bind every person and story together: an undeniable desire to be the hero. Our superpowers lie in the passion we have for serving clients using marketing solutions and services that assist them in exceeding their goals.
In “The Marketing Revolution” serial entrepreneur Joshua Cates shares the battle-tested tactics and strategies he’s honed over his 25+ year career, propelling five successful companies, three successful acquisitions, and driving massive success for his agency clients.

Imagine it’s 2001, and you have a new, yet heavy, phone in your hand with the latest technology— get ready to be in awe — it has a single-color display! Instead of black text on a gray background, you get to look at black text on a blue background.
Yes, it sounds underwhelming, but that’s what level of tech we were excited about. It’s the same year wireless phone providers began to connect networks for text messaging. And it’s the same year Heather entered the marketing workforce.
She has had the benefit of experiencing first-hand the evolution and digitization of marketing tactics. From oil & gas to technology transfer, no industry has been left untouched from the vast increase in data now available at our business fingertips. As a data-driven marketer, Heather has not only an appreciation for, but also a solid understanding of tracking and analyzing data to devise strategies and evaluate performance.
At Hero Marketing Agency Heather collaborates with clients to help them achieve a sound strategy for marketing. First to define and distill their goals. Then to develop strategies for goal achievement, articulating objectives, tactics, and success metrics. Great strategists are dynamic storytellers who have the ability to make the incredibly complex feel simple.
A native Texan, Heather has recently moved back to Texas after 14 years in Northern Indiana. She graduated with a double major in marketing and advertising from Indiana University South Bend with scholarship awards. Her collegiate career began at the University of Texas at Austin, but life and her husband took their adventure north.
She is happy to be back in central Texas where they are close to family and do not need a snow blower in the garage. She enjoys emerging technologies and new consumer electronics. An avid runner, some of her best creative ideas have happened mid-run.
