In these unprecedented times, my MO is to empower small to medium sized design & advertising agencies with an optimistic, future oriented mindset by improving effectiveness and zeroing in on the fundamentals. With a plan of action, I help clients rethink their approach to new business - from adjusting their sales strategies for business survival to shifting focus on more inbound marketing to diversify lead generation efforts.
