Your marketing should be a revenue engine.
If not, it’s just a frustrating series of ongoing pain points.
The endless cycle of executing campaigns with the inability to tie them to ROI. Spending too much time asking for justification or explanation about efforts. Micro-managing your resources/people/consultants. Having no idea who to use for what. Uttering weekly the phrase “We’ve tried that, didn’t work”.
If marketing- or the thought of marketing- keeps you up at night…
… We need to talk.
Take full advantage of what marketing can really be. Get the most out of your budget. Maximize the results of your marketing resources/agencies. Make more efficient use of your time. Finally have executive-level subject matter expertise in your corner.
Basically, if for any reason, your marketing isn’t where you want it to be. I can help.
Get bigger, better and stronger with DRS.
Solutions
Tired of wasting time and money on marketing? Looking for a consistent, comprehensive growth marketing program? Do you wish you had senior-level marketing experience in your corner? I can help.
-
Stop wasting your marketing budget on "strategy" that leaves you guessing on actual ROI. My transparent approach replaces vague consulting efforts with clear deliverables and data-driven milestones so you know exactly where every dollar is going.
I have designed a series of specific modules that directly address common pain points. This allows you to focus your investment and align your marketing efforts with proven processes and functionality.
These modules focus on the various elements of a marketing program through assessment, development and execution phases and range in length from two months to one year.
Stop paying for theory and start investing in results.

Many companies focus solely on the tactical aspects of marketing- posting on social media, buying digital ads, sending marketing emails- without understanding where they are, where they want to go and how they intend to get there.
You need to understand your ‘why’. Without a strong strategic plan, your marketing will simply be an uninspiring series of ‘who’ and ‘what’.
Simply put, consumers do not do business with you because they know who you are or what you offer. They do business with you because you gave them a reason to care. Because you gave them a ‘why’.
A comprehensive strategic plan is a big picture blueprint which will act as a guidance system for all your marketing efforts.
I will work with you to develop short- and long-term planning as well as business outcomes. We can turn your vision for your company and your financial goals into a plan that guides your marketing for years to come.

Yes, you need a comprehensive marketing program. But you also need a brand that stands out from your competition. You need messaging that is consistent, compelling and convincing.
You need to give your customers a reason to care. A reason to choose you. You’ve got to get them to pay attention before you can get them to pay.
You need to show your audience ‘why’ not just ‘who and what’.
Let me help you develop the all-important strategy, positioning and creative direction that will guide your marketing.

Much like the marketing modules, this is a defined program not a consulting arrangement. In this case, however, we go through all the possible deliverables from each module and put together a custom program that is even more aligned with your needs.
Need to develop a brand or unique selling proposition and then focus on content? Deal. Looking to build infrastructure for your small but mighty in-house marketing team? Can do. Not even sure where to start when it comes to building a growth marketing plan? Start here.

I offer two types of training- marketing training and brand training.
Marketing training provides coaching for your in-house marketing people (or person) and can be done via workshops, monthly sessions or on-going leadership.
Brand training provides specific soft skill training for your customer-facing team. This training aligns the experience your customers will have doing business with you with the expectations set by the marketing you do. Compliment your operational training with training that directly influences your customer retention.
I can also provide and conduct presentations that are perfect for the marketing track of your conference, annual planning sessions or team building events. Existing topics include ‘Why you never market your service’, ‘Dog sled’ (omni-channel marketing) and ‘Getting found vs getting chosen’. Though topics/workshops can be developed or tailored for your specific needs.
