Hey, I'm Michael Drake, founder of "The Drake Studios", and my journey to helping amazing brands drive growth through story is probably different from what you'd expect.
While our roots are in Texas, our work has taken us across the globe, creating impactful content and stories. We've had the pleasure of working with notable clients such as AT&T, EssilorLuxottica, SMU, CBRE, Naomi's Village and Hillwood Development Company.

Our aim is to be your trusted partner, delivering the results you’re looking for while building a lasting relationship.
Now, with The Drake Studios, I'm on a mission to help brands like yours harness the true power of story. Not just to sell products, but to reach hearts and minds, to inspire action, and to make a genuine difference in the world.
Because in today's noisy digital landscape, it's not enough to be seen – you need to be remembered and felt.
So if you're ready to go beyond average marketing and create something truly remarkable, let's talk. Together, we can craft a story that not only grows your brand but also leaves a lasting impact on the people you serve.
If you rely solely on word-of-mouth referrals, you'll never achieve a consistent, predictable flow of patient leads
If you don’t have anyone on staff who can dedicate their time solely to marketing and patient acquisition, you can't grow
If you do have a marketing staff, they’re typically spread too thin to actually be strategic and effective.
For the past twelve years, our team of healthcare marketing experts have been trusted by hundreds of the nation’s leading surgeons to deliver them a consistent pipeline of qualified patient leads each and every month.
