About Us

Demand by Design was founded by two industry veterans that wanted to take their success and experience in sales and marketing and help companies become more effective at meeting their revenue goals.

Consultants & Advice

We have all worked with consultants in the past, and for the most part they came in, made some astute observations, gave us some good recommendations and moved on to their next engagement. We were then left to our own devices to actually implement their recommendations and derive any real value from the engagement. While we can see some value in this type of relationship, we also see big disadvantages.

Our clients need more than advice. There are a number of reasons this is true, but more than anything else, they are generally busy with their job and do not have additional time to focus on marketing in order to get the results they expect. When they do have time, they often lack the experience to maximize the benefits from the recommendations.

Beyond Advice

We saw a need for a different philosophy, one focused on actually producing results for our clients and not just giving advice. Instead of offering our clients recommendations we help them find their direction. Based on this philosophy, we actually work with our clients to implement recommendations and produce the results they want to achieve. In this process we work closely with the team to optimize the process and maximize the results. Our engagements cover a spectrum of areas ranging from strategic planning and product conceptualization to lead generation and social media programs to website design and content creation. In the end, our clients receive advice, results and most importantly, a process and team that can continue to drive results in the future.
