MARKETING IS REALLY ABOUT ADVERTISING…ISN’T IT?
While we wish it’s that simple, it’s simply not.
Marketing and your brand are as central to your business as your strategy. Think of it this way: Your strategy is what you do, but your brand is marketed to the ones who matter most — your customers. No customers means no business and, ultimately, no brand.
At Opal Sea Consulting, we consider marketing to be the fun part: identifying customer insights that provide the “Eureka!” moments in strategic planning. But it’s more. Marketing includes the portfolio of solutions, positioned and priced right to jazz your customers according to what they want.
Speaking to them? Of course. Getting into customers’ heads is just the start. From there, we help identify how to get in front of them where, how, and when they want. This affords your business credibility, builds your brand, and delivers profits. After all, that’s why you’re in business, right?
Branding is where it gets deeper: Your image in the marketplace must be unique and different. It comes down to the core values that got you started in the first place. With the right marketing and branding, both go hand-in-glove to make the strongest impact possible in the marketplace.

BACKED BY DATA
We’d be remiss if we didn’t mention that our marketing and brand strategies are backed by data. In today’s connected world, our insights on customers, trends, and business performance are founded on quantitative and qualitative measures that tell you if you’re on track. Is it perfect? No, but it exponentially increases the odds of success and gives you the ability to adjust to changing market conditions.
