How will my business benefit from outside marketing help?
Bottom-line benefits: A strategic marketing program will help you expand your business, increase sales, build brand identity for your products and services, identify target markets, build relationships, support your sales team and create public support. We’ll help you develop a strategy to take your company to the next level.
Expertise + efficiency: If you’re a business owner or manager, you probably struggle to find time to focus on marketing. You can benefit from our decades of brand expertise at a fraction of the cost of hiring senior-level marketing staff or a big agency. We’re brand experts with decades of experience, and we love helping growing businesses reach the next level of success.
The 30K-foot view: Many smaller businesses jump in and “do” marketing without a well thought-out plan. When we take a step back and apply proven marketing principles and techniques to your efforts, you’ll notice more effectiveness and less stress.
Can you help businesses located anywhere?
Yes. We meet in person when we can, but more often we meet face to face via video conference. We offer virtual meeting solutions that are cost-effective, time-efficient and environmentally friendly.
How does it work?
Step 1: Strategy. We’ll meet several times to discuss your business goals, target customers, branding, budget and timing, then we’ll design or refine a marketing program and/or website for your business.
Step 2: Creative. We’ll help you implement a specific plan based on your needs and budget. Ongoing marketing activities may be handled in-house and/or via contractors following your customized marketing strategy and brand guidelines.
Step 3: Evaluation and refinement. Once your program is in place, we’ll report regularly and check in with you about results. Based on ongoing communication, we’ll make recommendations to refine and expand your marketing program to build on your success.
What kind of contract will I have?
Arrangements are flexible and suited to your needs. Options include:
- boutique-style ad agency
- short- or long-term consultancy
- project/contract basis
- monthly retainer
How much should I expect to spend?

We help businesses of all sizes outline a realistic and effective marketing program based on their business goals and budget. We offer customized solutions and competitive rates. Your project can even be carried out in phases to spread the cost.
