No Smoke and Mirrors
In marketing and business development, one size does not fit all. A service industry firm looking to build its customer base faces very different challenges than a corner grocer seeking to sell more potatoes. Tailored marketing and business solutions should fit your existing strengths and budget while creating consistant growth opportunity. My experience at both small business and corporate-level marketing will deliver well defined options toward growth with detailed cost projections. No smoke & mirror marketing schemes. No pie-in-the-sky business development projections. Just a clear path to return on investment.
Background
With a diverse background in business development, marketing, sales, media design and publishing, I bring a wealth of practical experience to the table. Transistioning from the days of print & telephone marketing to current media-driven marketing, I am well-versed in the particular marketing challenges of small businesses and corporations communicating to today's educated buyer.
