Results Without Risk
We help reduce your risk and maximize the value of your investment.
Proven Methods
To achieve consistently award-winning results, we utilize a proprietary set of best practices including a unique 6-step process for handling client initiatives, after-placement plans to ensure business conversion from your content, and post-project client surveys that enable us to constantly test our performance and improve our value.
Contingency Pricing
We’re results-driven, but unlike all the other agencies that say that, we’re willing to share the implementation risk of our strategic advice and bill only for the results we achieve. Of course, we are happy to consider other engagement preferences, but our results-based contingency plan called, FAME™ provides the most tangible measurement of our success.
Valuable Analytics
We know new business is your ultimate goal – not just shares and retweets… So, to manage your time and limited resources, and to make sure our strategies are worthwhile, we have developed a unique apples-to-apples scoring tool called BrightPro™ that measures the value of content and ranks the professionals that create it.
A La Carte Products
Not every professional or firm can make a large investment in their marketing and business development, so we created a few a la carte service products for routine needs: Lateral Up, for re-branding new partners; Rainmaker Prep, to prepare partners for new initiatives; and Engager, to create more frequent interactions with key clients.
