ABOUT OUR NAME

Calliope

In Greek Mythology, Calliope was the muse for poetry, song, arts and sciences. By anointing the lips of leaders with honey, she bestowed upon them gracious words and true judgment. Her instrument could be heard from miles around, luring patrons to markets, festivals and merchants. 

Your business, your personal success, and the satisfaction of your customers is our inspiration.

Be our muse. Trust Calliope.

OUR PROVEN PROCESS

Plan > Develop > Measure > Expand >

You have distinct needs based on a number of factors including your audience(s), industry, stage of growth and business goals. We follow four key steps and a flexible, agile methodology that enables us to move fast and remove barriers.

PLAN We gather as many internal and external insights as possible, provide a framework for our engagement, and present early strategies for feedback.

MEASURE Includes analyses of what we’ve learned and development of marketing scorecards and dashboards. We help you strike the right balance of reportable insights so you make better decisions about your sales and marketing investments.

DEVELOP Our “do” and “test” mode. Whether it’s an annual marketing plan, quarterly campaign, or interim leadership assignment, at this stage we deliver a clear, detailed and focused approach to achieve goals based on data and best practices.

EXPAND Based on everything we’ve learned, we help you build the right mix of full-time and contract resources, scalable systems and processes, and sustainable strategies. Our EXPAND stage is designed to put you in control, giving your team the confidence to execute (with or without us).
