Setting a strategy involves a few big decisions.
Execution involves hundreds of ongoing activities.
✓ Determine your best market position and messaging – based on
your product, your strengths, and competitive assessment – even
macro considerations.
How I help your
DTC business
grow
Every situation is different.
There’s no fixed template.
✓ Assemble an improved and optimal ‘mix’ of Owned, Earned,
Social, and Paid media and content channels.
✓ And – then – begin to improve the effectiveness of each channel.
✓ …. While making sure that each channel is aligned, integrated, and
working together.
✓ Funnel optimization. Work through a myriad of levers to improve
your conversion. Digital or offline.
✓ Set measurable KPIs.
Test. Measure. Learn. Discuss. Grow.

A DTC Marketing expert. Direct-to-Consumer. B2C. B2B2C.
Dave B is:
I have successfully worked for major brands (ATT, ADT, Allstate) as well as companies
and products you’ve never heard of in broadband, video distribution, med tech,
insurance, and even debt collection. Plus, volunteer and non-profit.
• Large brands. Irrelevant brands. Start-up ideas.
• Large media budgets ($70MM/year) and $0MM/year – which simply necessitates
different approaches.
• Public, private, academic, non-profit, and even family-owned businesses.
• Start-ups, high growth, mature, and (gasp) even declining business.
There’s no forced model or template. Each challenge is custom – but there are elements
from experience that we can use to build a thoughtful model forward.
Who I am not:
- Just an idea guy who wants to ponder strategy. I want to get involved in the execution.
- A consultant with a preconceived notion of what must be done. I don’t have it all figured out.
