What is EQ ? Fiscally responsible and budget-minded
Marketing EQ was created to help clients invest wisely in their marketing. When you work with us, we will assess your marketing and media mix to reveal gaps. Gaps are expensive and result in customer loss. Bad allocation blows out budgets and under-delivers results costing companies a fortune. Our methods reduce risk and create success for marketing investments.
Early in her advertising career, EQ Owner, Julie Gorham worked in media sales. The biggest complaint she received from clients was under-performance from total ad spend. She worked with national accounts and ad agencies planning ad campaigns with research which included demographics, psychographics, market data, user data. media data, shopping behaviors, and more. MEQ uses these tools today, and many more. This approach saves clients hundreds of thousands of dollars per year and delivers better results.
