ABOUT · OUR FOUNDER
Trevor Jones, founder.
Trevor ran marketing and operations inside service companies for more than a decade. He built Rhythm to give owners one point of contact, honest numbers and marketing tied to revenue.
THE STORY
From brand studio to growth partner.
Trevor learned marketing from the client side. As Director of Marketing for Master Service Companies, a Knoxville group of home service brands in waterproofing, concrete, electrical and structural repair, he owned every campaign and every budget. He cut cost per lead by more than 15% and grew leads more than 40% in a single year.
He went on to run business development and then daily operations for the company as Chief Operating Officer, and later served as Managing Partner and Chief Marketing Officer of WOW My Garage. Sitting in the owner's chair, he kept seeing the same problem: an ads person, a web person, a video person and a stack of reports, and nobody who could say which dollars turned into jobs.
In 2021 he started ENVY Brand Studio, which became Rhythm Collective: advertising and creative under one roof, in our own building on Magnolia Avenue in East Knoxville. His marketing coaching practice, Revenue Knight, joined Rhythm in 2026. Rhythm is a Google Partner and a Kinsta Agency Partner.

HOW HE WORKS
Three beliefs behind every plan.
FOLLOW THE DATA
Performance over opinions.
Every recommendation starts with what the numbers say, not what's trendy or what's easiest to sell.
TEACH, DON'T TRAP
No dependency.
He'd rather clients understand their marketing than rely on an agency to explain it. Clear reports, clear expectations, no smoke and mirrors.
THINK LONG TERM
Partners, not vendors.
Marketing is an ongoing process of learning, improving and growing. The best client relationships work like part of the team.
IN HIS WORDS
“Marketing is too important to guess.”
Every marketing decision has a cost. So does every dollar spent without accountability.
BEYOND CLIENT WORK
- Hosts the Now In Rhythm podcast, real conversations with Knoxville business owners
- Built Unqualified, a browser game about your first day at a marketing agency
- Leads free community marketing training at the Rhythm office
- Created Rhythm Ledger, a dashboard that ties marketing to revenue
