Beau Haralson

Boulder Valley 40 Under Forty

“My son Eli was born two months early this past fall, rocking and changing my world all at once,” said Beau Haralson. “As our first kid, it’s been a year of firsts, and he has been the highlight.”

That wasn’t the only world-rocking event of his autumn, said the avid mountain biker, noting that his helmet saved him from breaking more than just his arm.

Haralson’s road to business success has been much smoother than that mountain trail. Since co-founding Clymb Marketing two years ago, he said, the company has grossed more than $1 million in revenue.

“Our core goal is to provide approachable, high-quality agency services at right-sized prices and focus chiefly on our clients’ return on investment,” he said. “Our success has enabled us to serve as a mentor to businesses and volunteer in various venues. My role as a co-founder in a now eight-person agency is as head of business development, account support and all content efforts.”

Establishing consistent revenue “has allowed us to hire and provide consistently for our contractors and respective families,” Haralson said. “This is what gets me up in the morning.”

Of the 87 clients with which Clymb has worked over its more than two-year history, he said, 90 percent have been ROI positive in their engagement with the company.

About 10 percent of Clymb’s annual profits go to various charities, and Haralson said spending Sunday mornings in his church nursery with 1- to 4-year-olds served as “great prep for me as a new father.”
