ABOUT
If you've found your way here, you're likely a business owner, organization advocate, or simply an entrepreneur looking to leverage your marketing operations and engage with your audience. Building a brand presence stretches far beyond a brilliant logo package or routine social media posting...it comes from mindful strategy and intentional maneuvers, unique to the organization at hand. Your business isn't cookie cutter - your promotion strategies shouldn't be, either. That's exactly what we focus on at Strass Collins & Co - highlighting what makes your business special and approaching creative strategy through that unique lens.
Hey there...
We approach marketing consultation differently. Rather than presenting you with hourly fees or pre-packaged rates, we evaluate your specific business needs to come up with a pricing solution that works best for you. We’ll even provide competitive pricing so you have a clear picture of what you can save by working with us.
In the event you require services outside our area of expertise, we have a book of industry connections made through years of agency experience. If we can’t get the job done alone, we’ll identify and negotiate on your behalf to find the perfect partner. And as your consultant, we won’t mark up their services or pretend they “work for us”. You don’t have to sacrifice quality for cost, and we’re here to prove it!
