Our 1 Bold Step Team

The 1 Bold Step Team

Marketing is no longer just about branding and awareness. It’s about results. This is where “marketing operations” and 1 Bold Step comes in. We will act as an extension of your marketing department to create systems, order, and accountability, and to prove ROMI (Return on Marketing Investment).

We believe that everything can be more efficient, especially the sales and marketing process. So we apply lean principles to create strategic marketing plans for our clients and then provide the technology and (fractional) marketing team to support the full execution of that plan. At the end of the day, our goal is to generate leads, increase sales, and prove return on marketing investment. Working with us means transforming marketing from overhead to value add.

Be The Aspirin. Not the Headache.

Our Values

Be the Aspirin

Be Accountable

We help each other, our clients, our families, and our communities thrive. We help people and organizations get organized and scale. If we needed a battle cry; it would be: “Be the aspirin. Not the headache.”
