SOLVE FUZZY* PROBLEMS
and move forward.
*What are fuzzy problems? They’re the undefined pain points that you can’t stop thinking about but are too overwhelmed to fix. Everyone has them — it’s not just you. Maybe you’re tongue tied on messaging, your stuff isn’t selling, or you have no idea how to price your product profitably — or maybe you need help with systems, long-term strategy or internal operations. Whatever your chaos, we’ll help you make order and start on the path to progress.
Workshop Facilitation
One meeting for quick forward progress. Whether you need to make big decisions about the future of your organization, map out a modern customer UX, or finally get your messaging on point — Dan has a gift for getting everything out of your team’s head in one special “Sprint” workshop, to help you move forward in a new way. There will be games, there will be music, and your team will be energized as you move from chaos to order and solve fuzzy problems together. It’s hard to put it in words, but we promise, it’s awesome… More about Workshop and Meeting Facilitation
Out-of-the-box Marketing Strategy
For real results. The numbers matter. If you’re running a small business, you need to make money. We can help you with some of the basics that every “digital marketer” claims they are experts at… and with our broad, cross-disciplinary background and the humility to say that no one is actually an “expert” at “marketing,” we think our approach might help you look at revenue opportunities in a new way… and get the details right too.
Good Old-Fashioned Consulting & Business Coaching for Small Businesses and Solo-preneurs
Mentor: an experienced and trusted advisor. Letting somebody you trust have a look into your business or team from the outside is vulnerable, mature and life-changing. We’d love to find out if we’re a good fit for speaking new ideas into your life. We recommend starting with a Workshop to get everything out of your team’s heads in one special meeting, and then you’ll have a path forward and you’ll know how we can help you further or if you’ve got it all covered!
Small Business Website Builds
For a place to live on the internet. Your website does not have to be a new invention or a work of fine art — it just needs to align with your brand and it has to work for you in whatever way you tell it to (like a robot!) — that’s it. If you feel like you’re overthinking the big scary hurdle of making a dang website, and you just need to launch something simple and effective that you can grow at your own pace, Julie and Dan will give you a jumpstart! Julie is a member of Squarespace Circle and has helped a handful of small business owners go from no-website to simple-website in a very short amount of time. Dan has written dozens of websites and is brilliant with UX and he especially loves launching new e-commerce sites for small businesses. More about Small Business Websites
Visual Brand Support
For a new look. If you want to “exist” as an organization, your visual brand matters. Your brand — the words that you use on the internet; the design elements that decorate your sales sheets, business cards, and social posts, the feel of profiles and website — when it all works together to tell the world who you are, that will make you recognizable in your space and help drive your success. Maybe your brand is ready for a whole new look or maybe you just need a refresh and some new templates or assets to catch up with the times.
Photography too
For photographic assets that show the world who you really are. Julie is a photographer by trade and believes passionately that authentic image assets are crucial to every business’ online presence. Get in front of the camera. Get your team in front of the camera. Get your products in front of the camera. You won’t even realize how much you’ll need these images until you have them.
