Q&A: Dave Miglin, Chief Growth Officer and Vice President — Media & Digital Services, Strategic America

1851 Franchise: What problems do you solve for franchise brands?

Dave Miglin: At Strategic America, we solve critical challenges faced by franchise brands in expanding their reach and enhancing their operations. We specialize in developing and growing channel programs, focusing on both two-step and direct-to-franchisee relationships. With 45 years of experience, we simplify complex processes and offer scalable, local support to dealers, distributors, contractors, retailers and franchisees.

In addition to driving growth and improving ROI, we help corporate teams protect the integrity of the brand by ensuring that franchisees adhere to brand standards. We provide clear visibility into the market by delivering data points for each location, allowing for precise, data-driven decision-making. Our approach includes personalizing marketing efforts to each franchise location, ensuring relevance and resonance with local audiences.

By providing full transparency in costs and results, we ensure our clients can make informed decisions. Our comprehensive suite of integrated media and creative services helps franchise brands increase efficiency, drive growth and improve ROI.

1851: What type of franchise brands do you like to work with?

Miglin: We have a broad range of experience working with franchise brands across several key categories, including home services, health/wellness and quick-service restaurants (QSRs). Our deep expertise in these industries has allowed us to develop tailored strategies that drive growth and streamline operations for franchisees. However, we are always open to working with all types of franchise models. Whether you're in retail, education, automotive or any other sector, we have the flexibility and expertise to help you achieve your goals and support your brand's expansion.

1851: What is one franchise success story you’re proud of?

Miglin: One of our favorite success stories is our partnership with Wendy's and the Boise Hawks, where we brought the Boise Baconators to life! The challenge was to create a unique way for Wendy’s and its franchisees to engage with the local community while supporting the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption. 

By teaming up with the Hawks, we hosted a "Baconator takeover" for five home games, with great turnouts and a big boost in Baconator sales. Plus, the Baconator jerseys worn by the team were auctioned off, raising over $4,000 for the DTFA! It was a fun and impactful way to bring the community together while supporting a great cause.

1851: What do you wish prospective clients knew about Strategic America?

Miglin: We’re experts at taking your national brand and making it connect with local markets. As a full-service agency, we blend our expertise in channel marketing with a deep understanding of franchisee needs to create tailored solutions. We don’t just track data — we turn it into actionable insights that lead to smarter decisions. Whether we’re helping you reach the right audience or ensuring every campaign hits the mark, our focus is on making sure your brand resonates locally while staying true to your national vision.

We understand the challenge of maintaining brand consistency while giving franchisees the flexibility and tools they need to engage with their specific audience. By personalizing marketing strategies for each location, we drive results that align with both national goals and local needs. And we make sure the data works for you, not the other way around.
