My Approach

I’m a pretty open book when it comes to my process, my work style, and my fees. While each project is unique, I group most engagements into one of the following categories: Evaluate, Build, and Grow.

It’s natural and common for business owners to ask me to jump straight to “Grow.” I get it. You need more memberships, more revenue, more customers, etc. As a business owner, so do I.

Launching urgent marketing activities without a strategy may feel like a shortcut to growth. But shortcuts usually fall, well…short.

I want both of us to be successful, so I focus on building a solid foundation for your immediate and future marketing efforts. This isn’t code for going slowly. It means, we spend money and effort within the context of an overall plan so we can more accurately measure and manage to goals.

I chose Citrus Marketing because it feels zesty and fun. Orange is an invigorating and optimistic color and symbolizes fresh starts. Orange juice is, after all, associated with mornings and the possibilities that lie ahead. I took this picture in the morning at the Campo de’ Fiore Market in Rome.

I take pride in providing fresh insights and creativity to clients—hence the tagline, “Fresh Pressed Ideas.”

Core Marketing & Design Services

Doing it the right way doesn’t mean the long way. I work quickly, skipping formality and bureaucracy in favor of the agile methods I learned when working with startups: create, test, learn, adapt. Then adopt what works.


For transparency, I’ve included example starting fees and typical duration.
My fees include analysis, strategy, and the work—creative, design, content, etc.

EVALUATE
Marketing Audit

For most clients, I recommend starting our work with a Marketing Audit. This includes a data-driven analysis of where your brand sits in relation to your location, industry, and competition and an evaluation of your current brand and creative assets. The data injects objectivity into my process, but my evaluation will be informed by 25+ years of marketing and creative direction expertise.

Starting at $3,000 | 3-4 Weeks

BUILD
Content & Creative

With our Marketing Audit complete, we have a solid understanding of the current state of your business’ marketing and brand health.

From here, we can start small or go big, depending on your growth goals, budget, and resources. The build phase includes fixing brand and digital presence issues uncovered in the audit and building a creative, and content rich foundation that can support your sales and marketing objectives.

Starting at $8,000 | 4-6 Weeks

GROW
Manage & Adapt

With your content, focus, and assets in a great place, there’s no limit to the marketing and sales processes you can layer on your stable foundation. Depending on your industry’s unique opportunities and environment, you can stack lead generation programs, product development, high-impact events, brand activities, employee recruitment and development, and sales operations, and more.
