## frequently asked  questions

What is Project-Based Consulting?

As a former startup executive working with consultants, I'd have a few core projects I'd want them to work on. Unfortunately, many agencies and consulting services require a retainer or some other type of time-based commitment. By the end of these agreements, I struggled to find things for the consultant to do to fill the hours I committed to. By creating discreet projects with set deliverables, pricing and timelines, you'll only pay for what you need, without the long-term contract. 

What is John Steele Consulting?

Hey there, nice to meet you! My name is John Steele and I am a 12-year veteran of digital marketing & communications. I have created & managed countless websites, content strategies, marketing automation platforms and more. For most of my career, I have served the startup/SMB tech space, usually joining as the first or second marketing hire. I have managed both million-dollar marketing budgets and operated with almost no resources at all--whatever is required, I can always find creative solutions to fit any situation. That's what I hope John Steele Consulting can bring to your business.
