MEET HARLEY DOWNOUR
CEO & FOUNDER
I’m happily married to my wife, and together we’re raising our two daughters here in central Ohio, where I grew up and still call home. My upbringing wasn’t easy, but it shaped the way I approach both life and work. It instilled a strong work ethic and a deep respect for integrity, dignity, and gratitude. Those values guide how I show up for my family, my partners, and the businesses I work with.
I’m the founder of Plumb & Level Marketing LLC and a trained graphic and web designer with over eight years of professional experience. In my day-to-day role with the State of Ohio, I support internal marketing efforts by creating and publishing news articles, web pages, and both print and digital materials. That background has given me a practical, execution-first perspective on how marketing actually functions inside an organization, not just how it looks from the outside.
I believe the traditional agency model is outdated and that transactional, lead-only relationships are fragile by design. My goal is to operate as a marketing agency and consultancy hybrid, focused on long-term outcomes rather than short-term activity. Marketing should make a business owner’s life easier, not more complicated. That means using systems and automation to increase productivity, recover lost opportunities, and create accountability on both sides. Decisions should be driven by real data, not gut feelings or vanity metrics. When marketing is built this way, it becomes a growth asset instead of a recurring expense.
