Barbara Spagnola - Click Here To Read Barbara's Articles - For Barbara, building a brand is so much
more than slick marketing slogans and
high-dollar advertising campaigns. After
putting in stellar performances as a sales
and marketing manager with Armour Foods of
South San Francisco and Western Insurance
Company of San Mateo, Barbara started the
first of two high-impact companies. And,
more importantly, she mastered countless
revealing practices on how, and how not,
to build a powerhouse brand.
One of Barbara’s natural talents is
creating a hard-hitting, multifaceted
marketing campaign. The days of “shotgun”
marketing are nearly extinct. With
countless mediums and the reach of
cyberspace, companies that bet big bucks
and hope they’ve made the right play
typically have a very short shelf life.
Her ‘full circle’ approach addresses the
key aspect of marketing in the new
millennium; a rich mix of tried-and-true
traditional concepts and promising current
theories that develops brands, sells
products and services, and just plain old
works. And that’s exactly what Concept
Marketing Group can do for your business.
Take you by the hand and empower your
business to not only weather the storm,
but build momentum in any market
condition.
