About

Senior-level marketing strategy. Built for franchise scale.

Angie Cox founded Home Court Strategic Consulting after 20+ years building marketing operations, campaigns, and growth systems for some of the largest franchise and multi-location brands in the country.

Most growing brands need senior-level marketing strategy: someone who understands franchise economics, field execution, vendor accountability, and retention systems. But a full-time VP hire is not always the right move.

That is exactly where Home Court comes in. We bring the same operational depth built over 20+ years, managing $10M+ budgets, leading 40-person teams, and supporting 650+ franchise locations, on a flexible, project or retainer basis.

How We Work

Strategic, hands-on, and built around your goals

01
Discovery & Diagnostic
We start by understanding your business, your marketing operations, your team, your vendors, and your growth goals. No assumptions, just honest assessment.
02
Strategy & Prioritization
We build a clear, prioritized roadmap covering what to fix first, what to build, and what to stop doing, grounded in your actual resources and timeline.
03
Execution & Oversight
We don't just hand you a deck. We stay involved, managing vendors, guiding teams, holding the work accountable, and adjusting as your business evolves.
04
Measurement & Refinement
Everything ties back to business outcomes. We build the reporting frameworks and KPI structures that make performance visible to you and your leadership team.
"The best franchise brands don't win on luck. They win because they have the systems, the strategy, and the home court advantage."

Our work is rooted in operational reality, not theory. We have been inside private equity-backed platforms, managed national franchise networks, led rebrands under pressure, and built teams from scratch.

When we come into an engagement, we are not learning your industry. We bring 20+ years of hard-won pattern recognition to your specific challenges, and we move fast because we have been here before.

If your marketing needs structure, accountability, and senior-level thinking, let's talk.
