Carmel, Indiana B2B2X marketing agency for manufacturers and dealer networks
About Element Three
Element Three is a marketing agency based at 571 Monon Boulevard, Suite 125, in Carmel, Indiana, just north of Indianapolis. The firm was founded in 2005 by a former financial analyst. It has 47 employees. Kyler Mason is chief executive, and Tiffany Sauder was president as of 2019. In July 2026 the agency made its first acquisition, buying Sextant, a Colorado dealer-network analytics firm whose founder Larry Daniel now leads it as part of Element Three.
Today it is a B2B2X marketing agency. Its work centres on manufacturers and OEMs that sell through dealers, distributors and multi-location retail. Named industries are commercial vehicles, heavy equipment, marine and boating, powersports, recreational vehicles, dealer groups and multi-location retail. Client logos include Airstream, Newmar, Boston Whaler, Sea Ray, Franklin Electric, Beck's, Steelcase, Thor and Grand Design.
Their core services are research, brand strategy and management, creative and content, performance marketing, media planning and buying, web and technology, and data science and analytics. They also run programme-level work such as co-op dealer programmes, product launches, inventory campaigns, events and trade shows, creative asset libraries and dealer network intelligence. Partnerships include HubSpot Platinum Solutions Partner, Google Partner, Trader Interactive, Simpli.fi, Placer.ai and Rollick. For Airstream they redesigned a co-op programme, and enrolled dealers saw 7.8 percent higher sales and an average of 75 more visitors a month.
For dentistry the fit is narrow. They have no dental or healthcare page, names no dental clients and does not sell local SEO as a separate service. The most plausible match is a dental service organisation or multi-location group that operates like a multi-location retail brand and wants research, brand positioning, media buying and analytics across many sites. A single practice looking for Google Business Profile work or local rankings would likely find a better match with a specialist.
Recognition includes six straight years on the Inc. 5000 list through 2019, and HubSpot Agency of the Year in 2012. Their average rate is $199 per hour, with a minimum budget of $10,000 to $25,000. Their Google rating is 4.4 from 8 reviews, mostly older; reviewers speak well of the team and its standing in the Midwest, while one 2019 reviewer complained about how a staff member and leadership responded to them. The agency also produces the Why You Win podcast and runs a Growth Academy.
