We help orgs & new ventures build actionable growth plans. Then execute them.

Get to know what we do.

Whether at a launch, growth or pivoting to new opportunities,

companies face incredibly complex challenges.

Too often, companies facing these matters turn to a series of disparate consultants – continuing to bring siloed answers to interconnected challenges.

When we started our firm in 1999, it was with the sole purpose to shift the status quo and bridge the solutions gap growing companies face by bringing together the complementary skills needed to capture opportunity and achieve sustained growth.

As we design a vision, strategy and execution plan, we consider how the individual elements impact each other. We think big and bold while balancing the need for quick wins with long term planning.

Where others address challenges in isolation, Howbridge brings together solutions that amplify success by considering obstacles as opportunities. Our integrated approach makes this possible.

Defining your purpose and telling your story.

Brand

When looking at communication and culture challenges facing an organization, solutions are best built through the underlying brand strategy. Through our process, we assess, analyze and develop the foundation for a strong brand and align with culture-building initiatives.  

A solid brand strategy is a pillar for all marketing, communications and culture-building efforts. It summarizes a distinct purpose, helps define the look and feel and identifies the audience we are trying to reach. The messages we stand behind, our mission and overall “promise” are delivered through these core concepts.

Creating a category allows a new or complex offering to articulate how it addresses a customer pain point in a novel or compelling way.

Optimizing your organization to grow now.

Designing unique customer experiences.

Experience

The experience and interaction of your company is not limited to customers or a single sales transaction. It’s active at all levels of engagement with employees, customers, prospects, board members and investors. An authentic and consistent experience is a central tenet of your brand and the hallmark of success for lasting relationships. Meaningful interaction and engagement is the key differentiator that drives sustained success.

Designing unique consistent, yet unique experiences for your internal and external audiences allows you to deliver value at every opportunity. The strategy in developing the end-to-end interaction along the buying journey from a prospect > lead > customer > advocate or creating alignment across functional departments all  leads to increased value, efficiencies and harmony.
