Jackson, Mississippi agency for community banks and healthcare, digital plus traditional
About Agora Eversole
Agora Eversole is a Jackson, Mississippi marketing firm formed on 1 January 2020 when two local agencies merged. The Eversole Group, started by Craig Eversole Sr. in 2000, had spent two decades running traditional advertising for community banks, and Agora Company, founded by Chris Bates in 2009, brought web, social and search skills. The two had partnered for four years before combining. Their office is on I-55 North in Jackson, and they have clients in 15 states.
Banking is the core of the business. The homepage is written for community financial institutions, the portfolio is dominated by banks such as Bank of Brookhaven, Southern Independent Bank and First Citizens Bank, and the team includes a social media compliance specialist who created Bank Monitor, a tool for FFIEC social media risk guidelines. Chris Bates co-hosts the Bank Marketing Show podcast. Healthcare is named as a second focus, with Children's Medical Group, a men's clinic and an anti-aging practice in the portfolio. For Children's Medical Group, the agency widened the practice's online presence and improved how it communicates with new and existing families. They have no named dental clients.
The SEO program is ongoing monthly work across nine areas: content, Google My Business accuracy, keywords, reviews, mobile responsiveness, site speed, calls to action, directory citations and backlinks. It also covers schema code and a review-building link system. Local targeting centres on Jackson and nearby towns such as Ridgeland, Brandon, Clinton, Byram and Raymond. Each month clients get a detailed report on web traffic, phone calls and reviews, which the team discusses with them.
Alongside search, the agency offers web design, Google Ads and other digital advertising, managed social media under its GETSocial service, branding, and print, billboard, direct mail and radio campaigns. That mix suits a Mississippi practice that wants one local team to handle both its website and its community-facing advertising, rather than a dental specialist working at a distance.
The 15-person team includes graphic designers, a content creator, marketing strategists and managers, and Director of Operations Misty Dunn, who joined in 2006. Client comments, mostly from bank executives, describe the staff as responsive, aware of compliance rules and trusted advisers. Pricing, minimum budgets and contract terms are not published.
