About Us

How we have a different view…

Lead Dog Marketing Consultants was founded to address the growing need of clients for results-based marketing. From our very beginnings, we realized that marketing was evolving. Marketing automation platforms were in their infancy and qualifying the return on marketing investment was a dream. It was serving this need that made us different, or better put, allowed us to “Have a different view.”

WE BELIEVE MARKETING IS QUANTIFIABLE

You tell us your goals and objectives, and we’ll show you mathematically (yes, we said mathematically) how we can achieve those objectives.

WE BELIEVE YOU SHOULDN’T WASTE YOUR BUDGET

We keep our overhead as minimal as possible, saving you from high rates. We provide a detailed proposal at the beginning, we keep you abreast of costs throughout the project and we bill from our proposal. No surprises! We don’t grow your marketing budget, we grow your business.

WE WORK FOR YOU

We’re not in this to win awards (although we have won plenty). We’re in this to make your life easier and help your organization meet the objectives set forth. We don’t consider ourselves to be successful unless you are successful.

let’s talk about your organization’s marketing needs

Graphic Designer

Sarah Stetson-Blewett

For over 20 years, Sarah has designed, developed, and maintained company brands and artistic endeavors for many clients. Her scope of work ranges from refinishing/faux painting furniture to full corporate branding initiatives and just about anything in between. Sarah can’t turn off her creative energy, so she finds herself always researching, learning, and working with new design genres everyday. It is often a challenge (and somewhat comical) when asked what she does because she has and can do just about anything creative. When presented with an opportunity to step out of here comfort zone and learn a new trade, she will always dive in head first and spend too much time figuring it out. Some people could say this is a weakness of hers but she knows that information and relationships are the key to life, so she will carry on.

Sarah is a graduate of Georgia Southern University.

In her free time, Sarah enjoys spending time with her family and dogs. She can usually be found forging new trails in her Jeep or out camping.
