Affiliated Businesses
Elevation Growth Partners – “As a faith-based nonprofit leader, reaching and serving more people is your calling. But where will you find more donors and more fundraising income for a growing vision? Since 2001, we’ve served more than 400 ministries and helped them raise hundreds of millions of dollars. We provide robust fundraising ideas, fundraising plans, fundraising campaigns, fundraising events, and fundraising strategy.

Best Choice Network – “We are a complimentary service to help parents of troubled teenagers find the right therapeutic program for their child. Parents connect with us through the many directories that we operate for the boarding school industry. If a teen needs help from a therapeutic school, we can provide the appropriate options and information.”
David Bolthouse, founder of Exceed Marketing Solutions, is the CEO of Best Choice Network.
Association of Christian Therapeutic Schools and Services – “The Association of Christian Therapeutic Schools and Services (ACTSAS)
was founded in January, 2012 at a gathering of therapeutic schools in
Seale, Alabama at the Teen Challenge International Conference Center. The purpose of the association is to provide standards and verification of those standards for member organizations as a means of providing assurance to future residents or users of those services. Other purposes of the association include providing a structure for
cooperatively dealing with issues that can adversely affect member
organizations, as well as a platform for training, idea sharing and
encouragement to member organizations.”
David Bolthouse, founder of Exceed Marketing Solutions, is an Executive Director of ACTSAS.
The Envoy Group – “Since 2006, we have assisted families in their search for an appropriate therapeutic boarding school, residential treatment center, or short-term wilderness therapy program for their struggling or at-risk teen. We have helped thousands of families over the years at no charge to families for our services whatsoever. We have visited and assessed over 100 programs across the country, have met the owners and staff, and receive regular feedback from parents who have placed their children. We’ve also been in your shoes, and we work every day to bring hope to parents who don’t know where to turn or who to trust in one of the most stressful situations any parent, grandparent, or guardian can experience”
David Bolthouse, founder of Exceed Marketing Solutions, was the founder of the Envoy Group. It is now run by Garret Bolthouse, David’s son.
Client Testimonials
The name EXCEED is perfect for this organization. They have always EXCEEDED my expectations when it comes to our marketing needs.

Darren Reynolds, Executive Director Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch
I can honestly say that we would not still have our doors open if it were not for Exceed. You have helped us refine our website into a tool that families all over the United States can truly inform and educate themselves on regarding the nature of our program. When we came to you, our presence on Google was pathetic and now our inquiries have shot through the roof.
