To reach the next level, every organization of every size needs to communicate–with customers, funders, stakeholders, influencers.
But not every organization has yet reached the point where they can afford a chief marketing officer to help them reach that next level. Marketing and outreach is often left to those with time on their hands, no professional experience, or no idea how to go about supporting business development goals.
We’ll help you bridge the gap that stands between you and the next level in your business with a professional, experienced communications executive…for less than the cost of an entry-level employee. And because we’re outsourced, there are no additional overhead costs such as benefits, payroll taxes or insurance.
Best of all, you’ll have a trusted senior advisor that can help you realize the business growth and opportunity you’ve been working so hard to achieve.
OPR Group brings a new dimension to your organization and can work with your existing staff to create a marketing culture that is sustainable, strategic, and sets you apart from others in your market space. We’ll develop a communications plan for your business and put it to work for you, putting in place a targeted and professional marketing program that gets results.
Scale the scope to meet your resources. Set and track measurable goals. Realize the benefits of strategic marketing and communications.
And take your business to its next level.
