We sent out an email today about our Collective-E Agency model, one of our biggest steps as a company yet.  Becoming an agency was a real evolution, when we started Collective-E we knew that the three of us had very distinct, yet complimentary expertise and we felt strongly that if we combined forces we would have many of the elements that businesses needed to succeed. Originally our plan was to be community for entrepreneurs, but as the world significantly changed in the midst of our launch, we really wanted to offer more, a new and fresh model for brand building; something that would be truly useful to businesses in the current economic environment.

What has changed?  Women are still launching businesses at a rapid rate, in fact, even more rapidly as job opportunities have dried up.  Therefore, they are much more serious about making money and making it quickly, it is less the “lifestyle choice” or the “be your own boss” and more the “I am going to take control of my own destiny” mentality.  We also found that many entrepreneurs can’t afford the high rates of the larger agencies.  Not only that, it can be a very treacherous world out there, who to trust?  We hear story after story of entrepreneurs getting taken advantage of, especially in the areas of web development, PR, manufacturing and consulting, even business plans writing.

As a team, we knew that we could create a better solution and one that was affordable and empowering.  Our mission is to make sure that entrepreneurs truly have what they need to succeed, they work within their budget and that they can operate all aspects of their business, from website to PR to finances.   Now, with our current model we range from do it yourself with our membership to strategy and guidance to full blown management, we offer a solution to meet virtually every need or budget.

The community twist.  Community is a very important focus for Collective-E because we feel that connecting is important on many levels; from sharing resources to a marketplace for goods and services, partnerships, collaborations and maybe most important of all, friendships. 

Here is the email with all the details and some case studies, so you can see a full picture of how we work and think; more case studies to come shortly!
