who we are

The people here at Sanestorm are a diverse and talented lot (just ask us... heck, ask our moms, too). We come from a variety of educational and business backgrounds, have many different skills and experiences to draw upon, and perform a wide range of marketing and business consulting services. We are business leaders, strategic thinkers, artists, writers, web masters, teachers, researchers, budget builders, planners, actors, poets and historians. So what do we have in common?

• We are completely dedicated to our clients' gratification. We don't want you to be satisfied with our services – we want you to be thrilled. We want you to recommend us enthusiastically to your friends and associates. We want you to be afraid of us working for your competition. We want to be your trusted confidants and advisors. We want to work with you until we all retire happily.
   
• We believe in the power of congruence. To put it simply, deep knowledge is often applicable in seemingly unrelated areas. An understanding of poetry helps when analyzing advertising. The craft of acting enhances training abilities immensely. The talents required for developing highly useable web sites are applicable to process engineering and project planning. You get the point. We aren't afraid to cross lines in order to provide creative, unexpected and unique ideas. In fact, we routinely call upon competencies that are "nontraditional" from a business standpoint in order to enhance our core services.
   
• We expect to be useful. Who defines "useful?" You -- our clients. And we can help figure out what "useful" means, too, if you haven't developed a good set of marketing metrics. Too many campaigns come and go with no definition of success or failure. Marketing efforts often go unlinked to key business goals. We firmly believe that success must be measurable, understandable and repeatable. If it's not, you may as well chalk it up to luck, and you certainly can't count on it happening again. See our results matrix for some of the ways we can be useful.

And we all love what we do. We're here because we want to be. We like the tasks which we have set for ourselves, and the jobs we do for our clients. Some of us get a kick out of writing, some out of public speaking… some out of building incredibly complex budget tracking systems. It's important for you to know that we're excited about what we do. And we want you to share our enthusiasm. See our individual bios for specific skills, history and personal details.
