What We Do
Our job is to help small- and mid-sized businesses unleash their growth potential by providing 20+ years of experience in marketing, strategy and general management in corporate, small business and startup settings. We harness these skills to assist teams with marketing and sales strategies, brand identity work, value proposition development, competitive positioning, strategic growth planning and digital marketing across all industries.
We span the full spectrum of marketing from strategy to execution, from traditional to digital, and we’re not afraid to roll up our sleeves and get our hands dirty. We are resource managers, finding resources that are affordable, trusted, and able to work within budgets. Our experience in executive positions at both large corporations and small businesses gives us the perspective needed to effectively and efficiently work with CEOs and founders to help them grow.
As a Northeast Ohio-based organization, we are particularly passionate about helping the Cleveland/Akron market grow.
Testimonials
Sally initially joined our four-person startup team to help with marketing, but she delivered so much more. After facilitating a rebrand including a new website and marketing/sales materials, she stepped into the President role to run the company and manage the team. She’s unique in being able to think strategically but also execute flawlessly even in complex and ambiguous situations. Sally’s professionalism and breadth of expertise gave us a fighting chance in a complex market.
More than strategic, Sally is effective. Working with Schriner Growth Partners brought me an executive peer, ripe with experience, that developed the plan and set things in motion. Sally gets to know the business fast, captures the nuances, and—working with all levels of our team—delivers results.
Sally was a tremendous resource to our team. She rolled her sleeves up and dove right in to uncover our deficiencies. What I liked most about working with Sally was she treated us more as a team member vs a client she consulted with. She participated in team meetings and helped me architect a repeatable sales process with supporting strategic assets.
Sally’s single greatest attribute is her ability to uplift the people around her. She recognizes people’s strengths and help them see that and then empowers them to be stronger where they’re already strong.
As a CEO, I greatly appreciated her candor, she has the ability to challenge when necessary in a productive and professional manner. Her understanding of omni-channel environments, strategic leadership and ability to work with all levels of our organization, enabled us to move quickly and effectively.
Sally digs in. She can go deep but her talent is seeing things at a high level and how all of those things come together to create impact. She understands how to run a big company successfully, and she knows the joys and pains of running a small business. She understands what it means to be an entrepreneur from both strategic and emotional angle.
It is rare to see someone who can both envision a strategy, articulate a compelling vision and, at the same time, possess the skills to execute a plan at a detailed level with such competence. She has proven time and time again that she can deliver and perform at the highest level, which not only helps projects succeed overall but motivates the team around her to perform at their highest levels.
Sally is an entrepreneur at heart and I think that is a driving force behind her success as she is always tapping into new ideas and engaging with the right people to make connections. She is a roll-up her sleeves executive who works collaboratively with a team for the right outcome.
Sally does two things better than anyone else I have ever met: a) She can digest a complex business issue and be able to prescribe simple, impactful recommendations; b) She is able to be constructive and honest while being the most likable person in the room.
