Our Purpose and Values
Empower SMBs with the power of strategic marketingOur Purpose
To strengthen small businesses, the backbone of the american economy, with the power of strategic marketing.
Small business are “The Backbone of The American Economy”
Nationally, small businesses account for
- 48 percent of all American jobs
- 43.5 percent of U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
- Small businesses create two out of every three new jobs in America
And although they make up nearly half of the American economy, they lack access to the resources, tools, and information that large corporations have. We help level the field to give small businesses a fighting chance with marketing strategies and executive leadership.
