Create brand awareness
Position your business clearly in the marketplace. From brand identity through content, social, and PR — one consistent message your customers actually remember.
Piedmont Avenue Consulting is a business development and marketing consulting firm that creates brand awareness, strengthens customer loyalty, and increases lead generation by leveraging new technologies and streamlining business processes. Founded by David Mitroff, Ph.D. in 2011.
You hire a consultant. They run discovery. They produce a 60-slide strategy deck. They present it. They invoice you. Then they leave.
Six months later, the deck is in a Drive folder no one opens. Your team is back to the same patterns. The strategic recommendations are good — but they were never integrated into the actual operating cadence of the business.
This is the dominant failure mode in business consulting. The fix isn't more strategy. It's a different engagement model: stay through execution, train the team to own the work, and don't end the engagement until the outcomes show up.
Sound familiar? The free 30-minute interview is where we sort signal from noise.
Every Piedmont Avenue engagement works across these four dimensions. Different clients need different emphasis — but the structure stays consistent.
Position your business clearly in the marketplace. From brand identity through content, social, and PR — one consistent message your customers actually remember.
Build the systems that bring qualified prospects in the door. Email campaigns, content marketing, paid acquisition, and the operational cadence that converts. See Lead Generation.
Custom email templates, loyalty program design, customer experience improvements, and the retention systems most operators undervalue. Customer Loyalty services.
CRM hygiene, marketing automation (Hootsuite, Buffer, Constant Contact), Salesforce setup, Google Workspace integration. Tools that the team will actually use.
Skills transfer is the engagement endpoint. By month six, your team owns the methodology — we become advisors, not operators.
Relationships with Google, Facebook, Constant Contact, Yelp, Salesforce, and WordPress as registered partners. Plus traditional media relationships across the Bay Area.
