There is a method to our greatness (not madness), its called STOMP Strategies, Tactics, Oversight, Measured Performance. A structured approach to ensure optimal results for our clients.
Sustainable Solutions
A typical consultant’s goal is to keep the client coming back for more. Our goal is to develop a solution to growth and marketing challenges that is sustainable and provides returns well after we are out of the picture.
Astute Analytics™
We measure results, not activities. Our custom reporting dashboard, designed to provide a summary of the information that really matters, the Key Performance Indicators. The data needed for decision making.
ROI Focused
Astute Group knows that our clients make an investment in us. As a Marketing Management Consulting firm, it is our duty to generate a return on that investment (ROI). That is why we are heavily focused on the numbers, the numbers that matter, the key performance indicators (KPI). Its not about number of emails sent or number of likes on social media, its about Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC), Customer Lifetime Value (CLV), and of course the most important indicator, Return on Investment (ROI).
We begin every engagement by establishing current performance to create the starting line, then we report periodically with Astute Analytics™. An executive summary of KPI’s presented in a dashboard style report to provide the numbers that matter in an efficient manner that is easy to read and understand.
