  • Marketing activities should positively contribute to overall business goals
  • Marketing to a business is vastly different than marketing to a consumer
  • Marketing can be a revenue generator and not just a cost centre
  • Effective marketing requires plans, processes, systems, and measurement
  • True strategic marketing requires a mix of tactics to achieve sales goals

Unmatched experience with B2B marketing.

The Team

Jill & Carla are experienced marketers who see things differently.

Their work is often with B2B companies – both new and long-standing – that do not have a marketing function in the company.  They aim to leave companies with a marketer at the boardroom table who can inform decisions and positively contribute to growth.
