We have worked in marketing, sales, research and competitive analysis for over 30 years, so we know the best companies in these businesses. We continue to grow our network through our association memberships at AIIP, SCIP and SLA as well as through our extensive social media reach, especially LinkedIn. In addition to hiring other firms to help with marketing projects as the lead at The Business Intelligence Source, Ellen hired and managed consulting firms in her corporate days.

Through our alliances, we meet client’s full-service needs for research, competitive analysis and corporate competitive intelligence process development and transition. If we cannot complete a client’s project in-house, we work with or refer clients to one of our alliance consultants.
