In Sixty Minutes You Made It Clear That We Need To Build The Brand

“Our company has been super lucky over the last 20 years, we never really had to manage our business, good things just seemed to happen. With the tough economy, we knew we had to change but really did not know where to start. In sixty minutes you made it clear that we need to build the brand, not widgets. You saved us 100X the cost!”
