FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
We’ve got A’s for your Q’s
How much does it cost?
Because no two business or marketing solutions are the same: it’s not “one size fits all.” Pricing is dependent on the scope of work and timeline. You can expect pricing to be outlined in the M Studios Solutions Proposal after we’ve walked through the “State of the Strategy Audit” meeting.
How do I know it's for my business?
Do you find yourself asking if the marketing tactics you’re putting out there are working or you’re tired of managing a variety of vendors?
Do you have a marketing/advertising agency partner but you don’t have time or the marketing expertise to drive the strategy forward?
Do you have an entry-level marketing team that could use some guidance on how to create efficiencies and results?
Do you desire a consumer-first minded leader as you build your business?
Do you wish you had a more thoughtful approach to business development, lead generation and strategic partnerships?
If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions: it’s worth scheduling a conversation with me.
Does it matter if I don't have a strategy?
Nope! If you’re just getting started, I can help you build the foundation to support your growth.
What can I expect from the "State of the Strategy Audit" meeting?
I provide a discovery document ahead of our discussion to prepare you and your leadership team. We’ll dig into what you care about, your goals, who you want to reach, your strengths and opportunities, your competitive advantage and so much more.

How much do I have to participate?
We’ll start with the “State of the Strategy Audit” meeting. Once we know the scope of work: we’ll schedule on-going meetings that align to key milestones within your timeline. I provide on-going reporting and communication so you won’t be in the dark on progress as we move forward. My goal is to keep things moving without adding to your workload as a business leader.
When you say "marketing and business development strategy," what does that include?
Here’s where I’m “Level: Expert” –
- Building actionable marketing plans to reach business goals and objectives
- Optimizing and creating marketing processes
- Establishing, improving or leveraging relationships with preferred partners
- Building sales lead tracking systems
- Providing media coaching, training and pitching stories
- Creating consistent and actionable performance reports

- Providing on-going analysis and reporting to fine tune processes and marketing plans
- Identifying internal branding opportunities to create employees who are passionate brand ambassadors
- Managing marketing vendor relationships to execute a strategy
The strategy is great but who puts it in motion?
Consider your marketing strategy your roadmap. Without a clear strategy you don’t know where you’re going. But once you know where you’re headed: who is behind the steering wheel to get you to your destination?
M Studios offers you a team to execute on the plan or we can plug into your existing team to leverage your existing talent.
Does my location matter?
Our team is fully remote and works with clients across the country. We have a team member in every time zone so you also don’t have to compromise on working hours to accommodate our schedule. We align to yours!
What kind of experience can I expect as I work with you?
We care deeply about building relationships. We want to know your business as deeply as you do. We value consistent and clear communication so you’ll always know what’s going on behind the scenes.
Your marketing needs are also as unique as your business. That’s why each marketing strategy we create is tailored to your individual business needs, goals, and objectives that target your audience. This isn’t a “rinse and repeat” approach. It’s a custom and personalized strategy.
When can I get started?
Right now! Every consulting relationship starts with a 15 minute call with me to get to know your business. During that conversation we set up your “State of the Strategy Audit” meeting that includes your leadership team. From there: we’ll determine scope of work and a timeline so we have a roadmap to move things forward.
I want to learn more about your business!
Let’s work together!
