Another Prior Engagement:
I was asked to help reboot a professional services firm with $4M firm and provide hands-on leadership guidance and assistance across marketing, operations, sales and recruiting. While engaged as Interim CMO/COO, I helped the owner turnaround (what was projected to be) a bad year – and while engaged we reached just over $6M in top-line revenues.
The initial three month effort was extended an additional three months, then extended for another six months, and then extended again for a third time (for yet another six months), resulting in a full engagement term that ran a total of 18 months. During our time together we made dozens of other notable improvements to the firm, including:
- to put a stronger vision and better strategy in place.
- to hire new talent and put successful, stable and accountable sales and recruiting teams in place.
- to drive operational excellence into the organization with better processes, tighter feedback systems and role accountability.
- to lead and implement all marketing and rebranding initiatives, including: upgraded website, social media, content management platform, content marketing and lead generation platforms.
- to lead and implement new and compelling employer and consumer brands and deliver all new consumer-facing and candidate-facing brand messaging and content.
- to build up a social presence – and social media programming engine – across Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest and Google Plus.
- to help the firm gain Inc 5000 and Future 50 award status.
