About The Collective Savvy

We are concierge marketing coaches for business owners distinctive in their industries.

What does that mean?
It means we offer a full range of business, marketing and sales coaching combined with marketing concierge services such as marketing planning, public relations, social media support, graphic design and more for busy business owners and marketing directors.

Who are our clients?

Our clients are typically small to medium sized businesses striving to take their business to the next level. These businesses are distinctive in their industry – or are on a trajectory to make that happen.  They do not conform to commonality, but stand out due to a particular knowledge, skill set and products and often deal in niche markets.

The Collective Savvy is the brainstorm of Candy Rice, an experienced marketing professional, coach, and instructor.

The Collective Savvy Philosophy and Approach to Business

“Candor is a compliment: it implies equality. It’s how true friends talk.” ~Peggy Noonan, advisor to Ronald Reagan

We are candid at all times with our customers. Without truth and honesty in relationships, little can be effectively achieved. We will provide you with direct answers, clear information, and honest feedback. We genuinely hope that you will provide the same in return.

“We are not information hoarders.” ~The Collective Savvy Motto

We believe that true success stems from the sharing of information. Work with us, and we guarantee we will work with you to get the job done by providing you with the information you need to move your business forward. We share tips, insights and lessons in person or online. It is our goal to be your number one business resource.
