MASTER MARKETING BLUEPRINT

"I'LL HELP YOU DOUBLE YOUR AGENCY'S FEES, WIN THE CLIENTS YOU WANT AND DEVELOP THE PROCESSES YOU NEED TO HAVE A LIFE."

~Pete MonfreSales and Marketing Counselor

MASTER MARKETING ADVISORY

Running a company is a lot like being a lighthouse keeper - it's a lonely job.

  • Do you own a business in the creative or marketing industry?
  •  
  • Are you an executive transitioning to self employment and worried about getting clients?
  •  
  • Are you frustrated with your current approach and looking for fresh input, perspective, and ideas?
  •  
  • You are unsure if you are making the right decisions when it comes to marketing?
  •  
  • Are you open minded and ready to change the status quo?

 

I’m Pete Monfre and I’ve spent my entire adult life founding and growing multiple businesses including a multi-million dollar marketing firm. I have worked with some of the world’s biggest brands as clients, learning my craft from the best marketers in the business. 

 

"Working with Pete Monfre is the best investment I've made in the business in ten years. His ability to connect my vision with real life outcomes is refreshing..."

MY CLIENTS HAVE MORE QUESTIONS THAN ANSWERS. I bRING THE ANSWERS.

As a life-long creative business owner myself, I’ve struggled to find the right clientele, be compensated fairly, attract talent and grow my companies.

 

After much trial and error I grew what started as a small design studio above an auto parts store into a six million dollar marketing firm in Milwaukee, Wisconsin with offices on Water Street and Fortune 100 clients.

 

While the market continues to change, I’m willing to bet I’ve solved the same problems you face in your agency. And if I don’t have an answer, I know how to get answers. 

"Pete is not your typical "marketing guy". He is a veteran creative business owner who understands the business. He looks at the business as a whole...it's like having an objective, experienced ally on call. I highly recommend working with Pete Monfre."

ARE WE A FIT?

Business Leaders and Owners

Many of my clients are running a business they started or purchased and are very involved in sales and marketing. They intend to do as much in-house as possible, but feel that an objective, outside subject matter expert in sales and marketing can help improve their performance and the performance of the company.

These clients are open to new ideas and are committed to growing. Many need to also improve sales processes. All need on-demand advice to improve deal flow and velocity. They understand they might be too close to the business to see it objectively. That’s where I shine. 


Executives in Transition

I also help executives make the transition from employee to independent business owner. I know what uncertainty feels like and I’ve helped many make this life-changing jump.

I reduce the risk of failure and speed client acquisition by helping clients avoid the mistakes I’ve made, and focus on the most efficient way to drive revenue. Confidentially share your specific challenges to see if I can help. Request a Zoom or Teams call here. 

WHAT THIS ISN'T

Coaching – While there is overlap between what I do and what business coaches do, I’m more focused on sales and marketing while bringing domain experience to the business. I share what I’ve learned starting, running and growing businesses over the course of my career. 

 

Seat of the pants – I work with a defined process that is adapted to each client’s specific circumstance. This process has been proven over the course of hundreds of clients. Unlike coaches and advisors that “make it up as they go”, we’ll follow a path that’s proven to work for many other, similar clients.

 

One size fits all – My work is highly individualized and tailored to each client. I believe that the business must align with what the owners and key stakeholders want personally. I work with a flexible problem-solving framework but every client and every solution is unique. 

 

Fractional CMO – I am not a replacement for a marketing leader like a Chief Marketing Officer.  MASTER MARKETING ADVISORY services are highly personal and confidential support services for business owners and entrepreneurs who need objective input, experienced feedback and razor sharp insight to help them grow.

"I've worked with Pete Monfre for almost 12 months. The difference in my company's trajectory is astonishing. Monfre has the ability to fill in missing bits of information that is holding you back. He sees hidden obstacles and presents solutions. He also sees hidden opportunities and things I'm not able to see with my own company."
