Welcome to Cegrix ("say-grix"), a full-stack advertising agency specializing in a wide range of services, including digital marketing, SEO, GEO, commercial photography, product design, branding, and business strategy. Founded by Sean Malloy, with 20+ years of small-business ownership, Cegrix has evolved into a mainstream Houston agency and became a registered trademark in 2025.
The Upgrade: From SDM Design to Cegrix
Since 2015, Sean initially operated under SDM Design as an independent consultant focusing on commercial branding, digital marketing, and graphic design, primarily with clients in Houston's hospitality and signage sectors. That experience, paired with deep business-development chops and a family of entrepreneurs, set the foundation for a more comprehensive agency model.
As with many, the challenges of 2020 provided a catalyst for a strategic pivot that would lead to rebranding as Cegrix in 2024, broadening service capability, and focusing intensively on business development, digital innovation, and user experience (UX/UI).
So what's the meaning behind "CEGRIX":
The name Cegrix was fabricated to be 100% authentic while demonstrating outside-the-box creativity with the ability to align cohesively across social channels in a simplistic manner. Of course, as a branding agency, it wasn't official until an acronym was derived:
- Creative: Bold ideas that cut through the noise and build unforgettable brands.
- Effective: Data-backed strategies that translate into real ROI.
- Growth: Plans designed for sustainable, scalable expansion.
- Results: We measure outcomes, not output.
- Innovative: Leveraging new tech and trends to keep clients ahead.
- Xperience: Owning the entire customer journey to drive measurable growth.
Our Approach: Beyond Lead Generation
Our approach extends well beyond effective lead generation strategies to encompass the critical path of converting leads into tangible sales and long-term customers. As we continually integrate the latest digital marketing technology, including AI optimization (also known as Generative Engine Optimization, or GEO), with strategic SEO, branding, and customer experience (CX) practices, our ability to achieve results is always at full potential.
Core Values that set us apart:
- Communication: Clear, proactive dialogue that keeps you in the loop at every stage. No ghosting, no waiting around for replies or callbacks.
- Integrity: We back every recommendation with honesty and transparency, earning trust through actions, not slogans.
- Attention to Detail: Every pixel, plan, and campaign is crafted meticulously to exceed expectations and deliver results.
- Innovation: Early adoption of what works, especially in the AI revolution.
Expanding Horizons: New Markets and Technologies
Our revised strategy as a mainstream agency has expanded our expertise beyond hospitality, with tailored solutions as a forward-thinking partner across various sectors, including, but not limited to, oil & gas, retail, and e-commerce industries, to drive growth and provide tangible results.
Looking Ahead: Commitment to Your Growth
As we continue our path forward, our goal remains clear: to support business ambition in achieving full potential, dedicated to success, and ready to partner with you in realizing your vision.
