About

The marketing landscape can be daunting, as it presents endless choices and constantly evolving technologies along with tactics that can be challenging to measure. Many companies lack the resources to hire a full-time marketing professional or engage a comprehensive service agency. Gladiolus Consulting is dedicated to providing accessible marketing expertise to businesses of all sizes.

The name for Gladiolus Consulting was chosen very intentionally. The gladiolus flower often represents strength, honor, sincerity, and integrity, among other things. The name is derived from the Latin word for "sword". Clients can expect integrity and authenticity in their partnership with me. They can also rely on my commitment to advocate for them while negotiating media buys and in recommending trustworthy partners. Moreover, the choice of name reflects my profound respect for business owners and the courage and strength required to build something of their own.

Gladiolus Consulting strives to offer solutions tailored to the needs and budgets of business owners.
