Over the last few years it has been my privilege to work with many clients to improve both their bottom line and their communities. When I started Measured Outcomes I had big plans, big ideas and no staff. Since those early heady days the company has flourished beyond my wildest expectations. We have grown our client base, expanded our services, and even added some very talented freelance consultants.
During this time I have learned many things, among the most difficult is that we are very good at some things, and not so good at others. It is with this in mind that we have developed our new site to focus on the areas were we excel and to trim those were we don't. As part of this process we have realigned our services to better reflect our strengths as a company and those of the individual members of our team.
Perhaps the biggest change that existing clients will notice are our new logo and company mission. The new tree logo and slogan "Growing Community, Growing Business" represents our systemic approach to serving our clients. We pride ourselves on our focus on long term goals that create real improvements for our clients, both business and nonprofit, and the communities that they serve.
As always, we look forward to working with all of our existing and new clients to develop strategies and programs that create opportunities for all.

Community based organizations are unique endeavors filled with dedicated people. The work they do is not always easy to measure or define, but in order to compete for the hearts and minds of potential supporters, it becomes necessary to do just that.
Through the use of data analysis tools, such as Geographic Information Systems, thoughtful surveys of your constituents, and discussions with your team, we make your data come alive. Clearly defining goals and outcomes gives what you do each day meaning beyond the walls of your organization and helps it become an effective tool to visually and verbally communicate your successes and the value of the work you do to potential donors and supporters.
Once you have a clear message we help guide you though the process of developing guidelines and strategies to unify your message across all channels including the organization’s website, social media accounts, email communication, as well as, print and video.
With the messaging in hand we work with you to identify, and implement, new ways to fund vital programs and build community support for your work through various strategies such as social enterprise development, private foundation grants, and social networking campaigns.
We help you become more effective partners by developing communication tools and strategies that address regulatory, social impact and other reporting needs.
In a marketplace of proliferating brands and products, businesses are constantly seeking innovative ways to differentiate their products and services in sustainable ways.
