Creative, proactive marketing solutions to help your company succeed
Whether we are working with you on executing a market research project, planning and rolling out your marketing strategy, or developing your thought leadership pieces for content marketing, we believe in building a trusting and collaborative relationship with you. This results in a win-win for you and your customers.
Developing strategy first
In our Strategy First research process, led by marketing strategist Loraine Kasprzak, we will partner with you to define the research questions. Then we execute a research plan to delve into answers. The process typically includes client and industry interviews, sometimes focus groups, and always secondary (Internet) research.
Typical research questions include:
- How is your company perceived in the marketplace?
- What are your perceived strengths and weaknesses?
- How are competitors perceived? What are their strengths and weaknesses?
- Do clients understand your value proposition?
- What marketing and sales messages resonate with your clients?
- What messages also help us generate more cross-sales or new sales?

Strategizing thought leadership content
