Why Foundation?
Foundation Collective has one main objective: Help brands develop strong marketing fundamentals so that the total organization can move faster towards their company goal. We will fill your resourcing gap - from fractional CMO to marketing coordinator to email specialist and everything in between. Whether you’re looking to “learn to fish”, want a thought partner, or someone to execute, we strategically plan and execute your marketing efforts so that you can focus on what matters — driving the business.
With over 25 years of combined Marketing knowledge, from pre-revenue start-ups to Fortune 500 companies and 3 company acquisitions, we know how to be scrappy, focused and agile while focusing on company objectives and shareholder or investor value. We know the importance of taking the time to set a strong foundation with clear KPIs so that ultimately everyone in the organization is working towards the common goal and can do so faster, and we know how to avoid a lot of common mistakes along the way.
We’ve gone toe to toe with investors, delivered numerous board meetings, pitched products to regional and national retailers, and successfully presented on the management team to potential acquirers. Not only that, but we can also execute an email campaign or tactically set up a Facebook ad. After all, you need to start with a solid foundation before you can build on top of it.
