OUTSOURCED MARKETING
A subscription to an experienced marketing team, led by an industry professional, for a fraction of the cost of one full-time employee.
MASTER OF ALL
Marketing is an essential part of every growing business. It’s how you represent your brand, attract new customers, and retain the customers you have. It’s an integral part of your operations, and when done right, the key source to your continued growth.
Many growing businesses have a “Jack of all trades” individual. Someone who understands branding, social media, production, and the nuances of your industry. They are your marketing Swiss Army Knife. But you wouldn’t use a Swiss Army Knife to carve your Thanksgiving turkey, that’s not what it is designed to do.
The rest of the “Jack of all trades” quote is, “Master of none.” Outsourced marketing gives you a Master of all.
CUT THROUGH THE NOISE
Outsourcing your marketing turns your Swiss Army Knife into a complete Ginsu set of knives. You get a group of highly-specialized teams with vast experience in specific fields for a fraction of the cost of one full-time employee.
Our marketing team is composed of experts in their fields with backgrounds across multiple industries including retail, automotive, healthcare, franchising, corporate, start-up, nonprofit, and more. By decentralizing our office, we have reduced overhead to allow us to provide these services at a fraction of the cost. Most importantly, the outsourced marketing subscription model gives you the full power of this team for a flat monthly rate less than the cost of one full-time employee.

LOVE YOUR TEAM
When people fall in love, they typically date for a period of time before moving in together and getting married. Shouldn’t business work this way as well?
We believe in a “dating period” to get to know each other before we say our mutual vows. In the beginning, we work with you to identify top-level initiatives to address as projects first. These projects have specific timelines, objectives, and fixed costs.
This “dating period” gives both of us time to get to know each other before we “tie the knot.” This helps us determine a suggested path forward after the projects’ completion.
NO LONG-TERM CONTRACTS
We don’t believe in long-term contracts. We believe our results speak for themselves and are the driving force why our clients stay with us for the long haul.
We operate on monthly contracts so we can adjust as needed based on changes in the industry, budget fluctuations, and your unique needs. If for any reason you want to pause or cancel your outsourced marketing department subscription, you can do so at any time.

I have served as the Sr. Director of Marketing for a national retail business, been both a franchisee and a franchisor, owned small businesses, overseen international product launches, and served in various roles of the non-profit sector. I have a BFA from Sarah Lawrence College with focus in production, writing, and psychology as well as an Executive MBA from the Quantic School of Business and Technology with specializations in management, leadership, entrepreneurship and advanced strategy.
I believe in results-driven marketing, operations-integrated planning, using innovation as a driver of growth, and earned power in leadership. Most of all, integrity is my key core value.
