Our Process

We start with what matters to you—making sure your enterprise is positioned with messages that convey an authentic brand identity across every one of your communications platforms.

We tailor unique solutions that get to the heart of your greatest challenges and help you get your point across, while bridging communications gaps, heightening visibility, increasing revenue and achieving the greatest return on your investment.

Liz Wainger founded Wainger Group in 2000 to be the firm that she always wanted to hire when on the client side.

Liz was frustrated that the principals of consulting firms would come and sell the work, but then disappear and leave the work in the hands of often inexperienced people. She grew tired of agencies that didn’t understand the business, delivered poorly written and constructed products, and didn’t bring compelling ideas to the table.

Wainger Group operates differently

  • We dive deep to learn what will advance your goals.

  • We commit to doing what’s right for the client, always, with no exceptions.

  • We provide flexible, “just-in-time consulting, assembling the talent that best fits your needs, adjusting staffing and resources as your project requires.

  • We do what makes best sense for your brand and your vision—with a sharp eye on your budget and bottom line.

  • We’ll tell you honestly what we think, because honesty is critical to good working relationships.

  • We will build a partnership with you that is a very real part of every Wainger Group engagement.
