Helena B Communications helps leaders of professional services firms in the marketing industry become more visible to and establish valuable new relationships with prospective clients and influencers, in support of the new business development process. Our most popular offerings:

Content Diagnostic   |   CMxPR 3K   |   Coaching   |   Seminar

Content Diagnostic | Content and website audit with recommendations.

You can create and post tons of quality content but unless your website is designed to help convert those who read to leads, you’re missing opportunities. We’ll perform a thorough website audit and provide you with specific recommendations based on SEO best practices and new business development techniques that will convert that online brochure into a conversion-focused new business machine. Recommendations follow the protocols outlined in “A Website That Works” a book written by Mark O’Brien, president and founder of web development firm Newfangled. Minimum fee: $10,000

CMxPR 3K | Content marketing and public relations consulting and support.

Achieving recognition as an industry leader takes consistent effort over time. Our expert project management and micro-task level programming combined with counseling, cheerleading, block breaking and obstacle removal enables our clients to go the distance and achieve their goals. Consider us your marketing personal trainer.

We’ll help you:

  • Activate an strategic, sustainable content strategy.
  • Create engaging, well-written content such as articles and case studies, as well as press releases and blog posts.
  • Identify speaking opportunities at industry events and prepare winning proposals. We also will guide you in the development and promotion of web seminars and videos.
  • Initiate relationships with new prospects and key influencers via Twitter, LinkedIn and other social networks.

Rather than act as your intermediary, we expand your bandwidth so that you can connect directly with those in a position to help you build your business. We’ve worked hard to develop a program that is sustainable even in this challenging economic climate. Minimum monthly fee: $3,000
