About HEARD Digital Marketing

    If you don't already know me, I'm Evan Dechtman-the founder of HEARD Digital Marketing.

    I didn't start in marketing-I started in music.

    At 23, I renovated an old theater to bring live music and film back to life in my community. We had the passion, the space, and the talent. But what we didn't have… was an audience.

    That's when I realized something most business owners eventually face:
    You can have the best product or service in the world, but if no one can find you, it doesn't matter.

    So I taught myself how to build a website, how to use search engines, and how to get found online. That experience sparked a skillset that would go on to help 200+ local businesses turn their ad budget into booked appointments.

    As my family grew, I stepped away from the late nights of running a theater and started building something that gave me more time, more purpose, and more impact.

    That something became HEARD Digital Marketing.

    This is my why. Building successful businesses matters, but creating the freedom to spend meaningful time with the people who matter most-that's what it's truly about. Every strategy we develop, every campaign we launch, is driven by this belief: your business should fuel your life, not consume it.

    💡 What I Believe

    I believe every small business deserves to be seen, trusted, and chosen-without needing a massive budget.

    I believe in systems over stress, visibility over vanity, and real growth over hype.

    I'm not here to run flashy campaigns that burn out in 30 days.
    I'm here to help you build a digital foundation that keeps working-long after I hit "publish."

    👋 Who I Work With

    I partner with restaurants, barbershops, real estate professionals, wellness brands, and other service-based businesses who are amazing at what they do-but feel invisible online.

    From helping a restaurant survive COVID to supporting a barbershop's expansion from 1 to 3+ locations, to guiding a real estate platform used by over 26,000 professionals-I don't just "do marketing."

    I show up. I solve problems. And I help good businesses grow.

    📣 Why "HEARD"?

    Because when your business is truly seen, trusted, and visible-you're not just found.

    You're HEARD.

    Let's make that happen.
