What We Do

Small business can now compete for customers right beside big business, but small business owners don't have the depth or experience on staff big businesses have.
This is where StrategyWerx comes in.  We take business problems, analyze them, explain them, and help you solve them. We bring you big business resources, perspective, and experience - all fine-tuned for small business use.  StrategyWerx helps small business compete. That's what we do.


When You Need Us

If you've ever wondered why your sales are up but you still don't have any cash, we can tell you why. Even better, we'll teach you how to fix it.  Maybe you're on the brink of your big business break, smart enough to realize one wrong move could derail you, but not sure how to figure out the right moves. We'll show you.  Sometimes the language of business sounds like anything but English. We speak strategeze, brandeze, marketeze, and all dialects of computereze. We help you take the bits and pieces of your business and turn them into the tightly integrated machine it must be to profit and grow.  StrategyWerx helps you compete. That's what we do.


How We Work


When StrategyWerx signs on with your company, your consultant will become your partner in improving your business. We each have our specialties, and within StrategyWerx we collaborate extensively to share our individual knowledge and expand the amount of support our clients receive. Our goal is two-fold - to help you develop the plans that will improve your business, and to transfer business knowledge to you every step of the way. Want to know more about StrategyWerx? Go to our Services page for information about how we can help you or to our Contact page for our email addresses!


Why You'll Love Us

Unlike other consultants who typically have direct experience running a department or a division of a company, our consulting firm is made up entirely of people with Chief Executive experience - starting with our Owner/CEO Andrea Hill, who has been the Chief Executive at four different companies ranging from $16mil - $600 mil in size in her 30 year career. This type of direct experience in running an entire enterprise is what gives us the ability to provide sound, practical advice to business owners immersed in the day-to-day experience of solving problems across all functional areas all the time. We operate from the premise that a business consultant has the responsibility to have walked in the moccasins of business owners before presuming to advise them.  That's what makes StrategyWerx the best consulting firm for small business owners.  Oh, and we're a lot of fun and really good teachers. We think that's important too.

Design-Centric Firms and Arts Based Business

Clothing designers, jewelry designers, chefs, software designers, makers of art/craft/music/experiences for niche markets, specialty tool and equipment designers, people with a very specific, never-prosaic, exciting products idea in your heads - we understand design-centric and arts-based business owners. Even better, we really dig them, and we thoroughly enjoy bringing them the business strategy and knowledge they crave while helping them make a mark on the world with their unique offering.

No canned strategy offering or business plan will work for design or arts-based companies, because they don't fit any particular mold. They do have very specific challenges though, and StrategyWerx knows how to serve those challenges.

Planning for exit strategy: Exiting a self-named or designer-centric business is very challenging. StrategyWerx understands those challenges and make a plan that takes into account future retirement or exit requirements. Some of our clients want to work forever, and that's no problem. But we still want our clients to make a plan that will give them peace of mind just in case they can't.
Marketing and branding: Design-centric and arts-based businesses need promotional strategies that are highly consistent with their design persona yet effective as marketing and sales tools. StrategyWerx will bridge the gap between the company's inherent identity and consumer perception.
Unique business support. Most artists and designers feel uncomfortable with their business skill - some even feel they can't be trained. We know that's not true. We help them understand and master the business concepts they need to know to be successful design or arts-based business owners. We'll also help them figure out how to fill in the gaps for business tasks that they simply don't have time or inclination to do personally. One of the most common themes of our customer feedback is appreciation for the amount of business knowledge they have gained as a result of working with StrategyWerx.
If you own a design-centric or arts-based business, StrategyWerx is uniquely qualified to bring you sound business practice tailored to your unique needs.
