Bend, OR (PRWEB) December 4, 2009
Imagine marketing in a completely different light… Accessible, Affordable and Accountable. Apogee Marketing Partners., LLC can deliver this for small business and non-profits of all types.
Apogee Marketing Partners., LLC provides resources to grow a business or organization. Apogee is able to provide effective tools/templates that can advance a client’s advertising,
Branding, social-media marketing, strategic planning, product management, fundraising, non-profit organizational development and related areas. Apogee was founded out of the creative impetus of Dennis Dalangin (Founder/Principal, based in Bend, OR) and Dennis Baker (Principal, based in Santa Barbara, CA). Recent research has indicated that during these unfavorable economic periods, businesses are more inclined to trim budgets from their marketing budget first. Although this may seem like a reasonable response, the same research actually indicates that those who reduced their marketing budget suffered and lost market share to competitors who did maintain or increase their marketing spend.
With their combined 25+ years of marketing, public relations and fund raising experience, Dalangin and Baker began to consider ways to make their marketing services, knowledge, and expertise accessible and affordable. Baker states, “By providing affordable marketing options for businesses and organizations that are suffering in this economy, we feel we can make a difference." This is how Apogee Marketing Partners was born!
Apogee is able to provide effective tools/templates that can advance an organization’s advertising, branding, online marketing, strategic planning, fundraising, and non-profit organizational development, among other areas. Apogee is based online and its services are very accessible, as they can be utilized anywhere a person has a computer and a wireless connection to the internet. Dalangin states, “Through a variety of plans and membership levels, there are options available for virtually any budget!” Moreover, the difference from other consulting firms is that Apogee provides their clients the tools they need to do it themselves, and depending on the level of membership Apogee can provide consulting expertise to develop or implement any marketing initiative. Baker states that, “Firms get affordable high-level professional consultation to help them efficiently utilize the tools we offer. The client is in control!”
