CAGnite Launches Free Growth Program for Veteran-Owned Businesses and Nonprofits in the Northeast

Led by Marine Corps veteran and co-founder Austin Camp, Operation Ignite accepts applications through Dec. 31, 2026

MONROE, Wash., Nov. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- To commemorate Veterans Day, digital marketing agency CAGnite today launched Operation Ignite, a free growth program for veteran-owned businesses and veteran-led or veteran-serving nonprofits in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and New England. The program aims to give veteran organizations a clear marketing strategy and expert support to act on it.

Applications are open now at operation-ignite.cagnite.com and close Dec. 31, 2026. The winning applicant will be notified by Jan. 8, 2027.

Every eligible participant receives Ignite Core:

• A one-on-one strategy session with Austin Camp
• An SEO and AI search visibility audit
• A Google Business Profile audit

One standout participant will also receive Ignite Full Mission, which adds:

• A logo and style guide refresh
• Extended strategy time with Camp
• Hands-on campaign setup
• Priority implementation support

Camp, CAGnite's co-founder and CEO, deployed with the U.S. Marine Corps in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom, completing more than 100 combat missions. He spent two decades in law firm operations before co-founding CAGnite.

"In the Marines, nobody moves without a plan, and everybody knows their objective," said Camp. "Many veterans start a business or nonprofit and find out marketing doesn't come with a field manual. We want to hand them a clear plan they can execute, built by someone who's lived it."

Veteran-owned businesses make up roughly 5.4% of U.S. employer businesses, according to the U.S. Census Bureau's 2022 Annual Business Survey.

"Austin leads the way he served: with precision and relentless focus on the mission," said Kaitlin Gagnon, CAGnite co-founder and Chief Creative Officer. "Veterans have given so much to protect this country. This program is our way of thanking them."
