Business Consulting and Brand Strategy

In today’s high-risk, fast-paced environment, you can’t afford to make management decisions based off of your consultants’ “gut instincts” or “hunches.” That’s why our cross-functional consultants will partner with you to deliver data-driven insights based off of empirical, hard-fact findings. We work with you and your team to show how our recommendations for business transformation are generated directly from market analytics and customer feedback. And of course, we also ensure that delivering those insights to the broader management team has the impact that only cutting-edge design can deliver.

Andrew’s career has always been about addressing the “So what?” questions in commerce. His belief that research for the sake of research is an inept way forward.

Andrew’s role in our consulting practice is as lead architect of the IQuus offering, a revolutionary change in how management engages their internal teams and their external markets.

Design

That’s why our design team at BioVid is deployed on everything that we do. Still graphics, video, A/R – whatever it takes to not only allow the recommendations to “speak” in a way that connects (both intellectually and emotionally) but to elevate and motivate to action.
