Acorn Advertising & Sensible Marketing with Patrice Robertie of Arlington, MA

Patrice Robertie

Communications specialist, marketing strategist & writer

Need help with an important marketing project?

You’re in the right place.

Is this you?

You want to get the word out about your business. And you’d love to have someone “on your team” who can help you come up with the ideas and then make things happen – someone creative, reliable, resourceful and organized. Someone who can (and will!) consistently make your life easier.

How I help:

Advertising is my first love. (I knew when I was 6 that was what I wanted to do.) I’ve help “trusted advisor” financial services clients have advertising they love because they’re proud of it … and because it works!
Commonsense makes the difference

Strategies & solutions that work

When it comes to advertising and marketing for professional services businesses and trusted advisors, “commonsense” outpulls “clever” and “hip”. Informing, explaining and being approachable let people get to know you, like you, trust you and want to work with you.

Your company's story told accurately and persuasively

Offline and online (Especially via an e-newsletter)

Strategic communications that make things happen

What you'd create yourself - if you had the time

Telling your story

It’s easier to connect when your best prospects know you and like you

Advertising you’re proud of

It is possible to have marketing you like that works too

Timeless principles

Wisdom from great ad people who have used ideas to sell for decades

Order from chaos

Helping clients bring order from marketing chaos is a specialty of mine

What you need to know about advertising
if you’re not an ad person …

On TV shows, advertising is usually presented as being all about “creativity” and anything goes. The reality is quite different. As Boston ad-man Paul Provandie said decades ago, “Advertising is not about drawing pretty pictures or writing poetic prose. It’s about using visuals and words to sell.” He’s right! There are principles and techniques that have worked over decades. They still work today. Knowing and using them tends to lead to better results for clients – the primary goal of every genuine ad person.

About Patrice

Being able to get the word out about what you do is critical to your business success. For most businesses, doing two to three marketing activities consistently is the sweet spot. I help clients make that happen.

I describe myself as a strategic communications specialist with solid advertising agency experience working with professional services clients who depend on words and ideas to do the selling because they have no product to show.
