Consulting Services
Managing Communications helps clients determine how to grow revenue, gain market share, and win against their competition, whether they are the entrepreneurs of a start-up business or the CEO of a mid-size business which has existed for years. Susan Long-Molnar uses her experience, insights, discipline, and creativity to create an outsourced relationship which brings a fresh perspective to key business functions requiring not only attention but expertise.
Long-Molnar will ask lots of questions to determine exactly what is going well or in many cases, the areas of your goals, strategies, and practices which need a lot more focus. As a small business owner for nearly 20 years and as the professional on large corporate teams responsible for communications, marketing and public relations for over 11 years, she has a unique ability to help you define where to use your energy, budget and personnel assets to improve your revenue.
