In an attempt to provide clarity at all costs, here is a list of all the things that Throughbind isn’t.
Who We Aren’t
KNOTS INTO NARRATIVES
We are not an outsourced marketing firm.
What this means plainly is, our intention is not to run your marketing initiatives forever. We provide strategy first, followed by initial implementation. Afterwards, we hand over the reigns.
We are not an occupying force.
This is really a restatement of the first point, but focused on the why.
We don’t like long-term retainers; neither do our clients. We get in, eliminate the threat, train your militia, and get out.
Our best engagements end with our mutual departure into the sunset, waving goodbyes with smiles on our faces.
We are not omniscient.
We will ask you questions. A lot of questions.
Our policy is to never assume anything about the businesses we work with. You can expect requests for information up-front.
We are not smarter than you.
An engagement with Throughbind only works if we both correctly understand our dynamic: you trust our expertise and knowledge in our trade, and we rely on you as the subject matter expert of your domain.
The best relationship is one in which our roles as client and expertise provider complement one another, not compete. Ego has no place in any of our engagements.
We are not wizards.
While it would be great if we could solve every business problem with the wave of a wand, reality isn’t that kind. While we do offer short-term educational options such as workshops, talks, and audits, for real problem-slving you should expect to be working with us for at least six months to a year.
We are not for everyone.
And that’s okay.
