Some organizations are too small to employ a full time, experienced professional in marketing/ communications. But the experience is there on a contract retainer or project basis: Roger S. Peterson, PCM™.

   Your marketing ‘second-opinion’

You sense something isn’t right? Or you just want to make sure you’re heading in the right direction. Retain Roger S. Peterson as a second-opinion on strategic direction and execution.

Consider it a form of marketing risk-management. Roger can also provide a more structured assessment using his RSP Marketing Diagnostic Survey.

Example: One CEO had doubts about a major mailing piece and retained Roger to examine it. Roger requested he be told absolutely nothing about the mailer but instead be given the preliminary comp to review. The result: changes were made to the mailer to strengthen the message.

   Authority -- Roger S. Peterson is co-author of the “AMA Handbook for Managing Business to Business Marketing Communications,” the American Marketing Association’s primary reference on this topic.

   Perspective -- Peterson had two successful sales careers. He knows how field sales people think. Peterson has been a “stringer” on the media side. He knows how editors think. Peterson has worked for ad agencies. He’s been a client. He’s been a high-tech B to B marketing communications manager.

   Objectivity -- As an outside marketing counsel, Roger Peterson won’t “marry the natives” -- a common tendency among in-house marketing employees.

Peterson’s recommendations flow logically from the communications audit you participate in. As an experienced generalist, he uses what works for you -- and takes no commission on media, graphics design, production, or printing.
