Frequently asked questions
-
In simple terms, we help you figure out what matters most and how to get there. That starts with understanding your business goals, not jumping straight to tactics. From there, we help shape strategy, refine positioning and guide programs that are meant to deliver real results and not just activity.
-
We’re not an agency and that’s intentional. We don’t sell retainers, push services or add layers you don’t need. We work alongside you as a partner, bringing perspective, experience and honest advice. When execution is needed, we help bring in the right people, not just the most convenient ones.
-
Most companies come to us when they feel like their marketing should be doing more. Maybe programs aren’t performing, maybe you’re paying too much for what you’re getting or maybe you just need experienced leadership without hiring a full-time role. That’s where we fit best.
-
We offer support where it’s most useful, from fractional marketing leadership and brand development to positioning, research, agency searches and program reviews. Sometimes that’s strategic guidance, sometimes it’s hands-on management, and often it is helping teams make smarter decisions faster.
-
We offer flexible pricing based on project type and complexity. After an initial conversation, we’ll provide a transparent quote with no hidden costs.
-
Not at all. We’ve worked with Fortune 10 brands, mid-sized companies and startups across B2B and B2C. That mix is one of our strengths: it gives us perspective on what works at different stages and how to be efficient with time and budgets.
-
You’ll work directly with an experienced team led by Jim Terry. There’s no bait-and-switch or junior hand-off. And when execution is needed, we tap into a trusted network of specialists we’ve worked with before, so you’re not starting from scratch.
-
Both—when it makes sense. We start by getting clarity on the “why” and “what.” From there, we can help manage programs directly or bring in the right partners for creative, PR, digital, paid media, or research. The goal is always to keep things focused and efficient.
-
Success looks like marketing that’s doing its job: clearer positioning, better alignment with sales, stronger pipeline impactor programs that perform the way they should. We focus on outcomes, not vanity metrics or busy work.
-
We work best with teams that value experience, collaboration, and straight talk. If you want a thoughtful partner who listens, brings perspective and helps you get more from your marketing investment (without making things complicated) we’re likely a good fit.
