1. GET ENGAGED

When it feels right, it is right! We'll hash out goals, expectations, and everything we need to start a great relationship. 

2. DISCOVER & PLAN

A collaborative, fact-finding process whose results shape the entire strategy. We'll identify what to say and who will say it.

3. IMPLEMENT & EXECUTE

Where the rubber meets the road. We line up the right collaborators and put the strategy in motion toward measurable benchmarks. 

4. REVIEW & REFINE

An honest assessment of strategy and tactics followed by tweaks and improvements to keep moving in the right direction.

5. KEEP BUILDING

We leverage earned media as a development tool and lay the groundwork for long-term recognition.
