Who We Work With
Our Specialty: Branding and Marketing for Growing Service Firms
We work with entrepreneurial and professional service firms across Southern Ontario (OK, there is one in the U.S.). Most of our clients are from the financial, insurance, legal, healthcare, real estate, technology or marketing sectors. We also work with many indepenent consultants, coaches, trainers, practitioners and creatives.
Oh, and if you happen to care about social and environmental responsibility, you will be lavished with our undying love and adoration. Whether you wanted it or not.
Who Does This Remind You of?
Here's what we've noticed. Our clients know their stuff. They are great at what they do and love their work. But all too often, they find themselves overwhelmed juggling day to day projects, client relationships, and resources.
Many struggle to find time for strategic activities like marketing, branding, and planning – they're so busy working in the business, there's simply no time to work on the business.
Want to know what else we've noticed? That some clients don't actually enjoy marketing and branding activities. It's sad but true - some would rather get a root canal than face the dread and horror of marketing.
To be frank, it's hard for us to even imagine such a thing. But we're slowly learning to accept this possibility may exist.
In either case, not to worry. We get pretty fired up about this stuff! And we’ll wager that you’ll have fun too, as you attract more of the projects, clients, and opportunities that are ideal for you.
