ABOUT
Solutions On 2nd
​
When you have a specific goal, staff additions aren't always the answer.
Maybe you want to establish a program that will ultimately be managed with existing internal resources; or you are looking for some temporary assistance from the outside. Either way, partnering with a talented project manager can give your initiative the jump start that it needs.
Located just a neighborhood away on 2nd Street, Solutions on 2nd, LLC was established to provide businesses like yours with right-sized solutions to accomplish your top priorities.
It's your vision, and we can help.

​
What Sets Us Apart:
​
-
We understand that to work effectively with our partners we need access to sensitive internal information including marketing strategy, objectives and analytics.
-
For this reason, we do not engage more than one client per industry at a time. If we have a long term agreement with you, we won't be working with your local competitors at the same time.
-
​​
-
We work with a variety of businesses, allowing us to bring creative insights from other industries to your specialty.
-
Our professional diversity supports out-of-the-box ideas and access to new tools to help you reach your goals.
-
​​
-
Collaboration and partnership are critical to our shared success.
-
We are as careful about selecting our clients as you are careful about selecting your marketing partner. If we don't believe we will be able to share mutual success based on your objectives, we'll let you know so you don't lose any time finding the proper partner.
