We are just as frustrated as you are about the state of marketing.
Marketing as a practice is broken. Because many of today’s marketers rose to an expert level in a single marketing or branding discipline, they struggle with creating an overall growth strategy for a company. Without insight and discernment of WHAT to do, WHY it should be done, and WHETHER or not it is even possible with the resources available, this lack of vision and direction can pole-vault a company into a never-ending cycle of just throwing things at the wall to see what sticks. To us, this is poor stewardship as it takes much longer to see traction, and robs a company of its mission.
It’s become standard practice to present a bunch of vanity metrics and pretty reports with fancy charts and graphs, giving the illusion that ” magic is happening.” But you’re likely left wondering, “Cool. But where are the results?!” The truth is that most marketers who produce those reports don’t even know what to do with them! Marketing should be a mix of art and science; only a few truly understand how to turn data into insights into strategies that produce results.
We do things differently as we are all about results-driven strategy. We’ve sat in the entrepreneur’s seat and created exponential growth by combining information with insightfulness. Our consultants act and think like a business partner who understands ROI and responsible stewardship of resources, both human and financial.
We understand our success is only as good as the value we create for our clients, but we’ll prove it through results.
