Typically consumer behavior and shopping habits are reasonably stable and slow to change.

When you work with me your business information is 100% confidential. No identifying aspects of your business, proprietary data or financial information will ever be revealed by me without your express permission. And because I only work with a very limited number of clients at any time, I'll never work for your direct competitors while I'm working with you.
What My Clients Say...
Scott Mulhollen
For over ten years Andre Vatke has been the key to growing our martial arts school. Almost 100% of our new students come from our online marketing efforts. We've been able to keep a steady flow of new students while keeping our location costs down by not needing to be in a prime retail location. That strategy has been invaluable and keeps us profitable.
Jim Williams
My community music school doesn't have the funds to hire a full-time marketing professional. Andre has taught us how to handle most of those tasks ourselves. I love that he's there to answer questions, review our messaging and help us stay on track anytime.
Sandy Zurich
When I had my idea for a business I didn't even realize how much I was missing. After our first meeting it was clear that I needed help to make my idea work in the real world. I don't stress about my marketing anymore!
How I Work...
A typical client scenario...
Discover
I start every new client relationship by learning about your business (strengths and weaknesses) and what sets you apart from your competitors.
Strategize
We work together to refine your opportunities, goals, make them measurable and build a comprehensive strategy to realize them.
Educate
I coach clients in how to accomplish most marketing tasks themselves. This takes a little more time initially, but it creates better results and it's much more cost effective in the long term.
Implement
I help clients implement their strategy advising them on the next steps, reviewing their creatives and making sure they maximize their budget.
Followup
Regular followups are crucial to ongoing success. Entrepreneurs are often too close to their own business to be fully objective. Having an outside expert eye prevents a lot of common pitfalls.
