How We Work

All Strategic Management Consulting and Creative Direction work is handled directly by our two Principals and our high-level Associates.

STRATEGIC CONSULTING

We meet directly with your management and development teams, ask a lot of questions, research the competitive environment, look at trends, engage in dialog, listen and observe. Then we draft the strategic document(s) and creative brief(s) pertinent to your needs. The drafts are subject to further dialog and finalized. A tactical roadmap is then developed. Our strategic work is direct, no-nonsense and to the point.

IMPLEMENTATION

Once we have helped you develop your strategic plan and have outlined the creative direction, there are three options for our involvement in project implementation:

Option 1. We can work directly with your existing teams, (including technology vendors and other marketing, PR and ad agencies), overseeing implementation.

Option 2. We can help you evaluate talent and assemble a dedicated, internal team.

Option 3. We can also act as an agency for creative and technology development, bringing onboard a number of associates with proven talents in all relevant disciplines.

Hiring us as strategists does not obligate you to using us as your creative agency. Our ongoing role is up to you.

Arriving in Los Angeles from New York City, Julie used her organizational and management skills to oversee a program at UCLA Extension offering approximately 160 courses in graphic design and digital media per year for over 14 years.

As an art director, Julie is very familiar with the professional design, fine art, film, theater and media arts communities and has a sophisticated aesthetic sensibility that comes out of years of direct experience in those areas.
