The problem is that without a well-researched, well-executed marketing strategy, your IT company will struggle to generate to a consistent stream of new business. That means missed growth targets and market share that goes to your competitors.

You’re Sick of Digital Marketing
Hype and Hyperbole (So Am I)
The process of bringing on a marketing partner can be tough and full of uncertainty. The market is full of agencies that will promise the moon and fail to deliver the desired results. To make that process easier, we base all our client engagements on four main pillars.
Honesty and Transparency - How we design your marketing solution will depend on your local market, budget, customers, and other factors. I always try to set realistic expectations and over-deliver, while openly communicating at every step.
Growth-Focused - There’s no point in a well-written blog or a well-designed white paper if it doesn’t help you achieve a marketing goal. Everything we do is part of a coordinated strategy to help you generate more visibility and leads in your market.
Teachable - Each business is unique, so I’ve designed processes that are that adaptable enough to accommodate the needs of your organization, while still achieving repeatable goals.
Passionate - You get a partner who will eat, breath, and sleep your business growth, because beyond everything else, I started BIOS Marketing & Communications because I liked helping small business people succeed.
