We have developed successful $20,000 grant requests and winning $20 million business solicitations. We have written strategic plans for small businesses & non-profits and developed federal business proposals for larger non-profits. We've written award-winning video scripts, commercially published books, grant funded books, and training curriculum. We routinely develop marketing content, print advertising, electronic advertising, social media campaigns, hard copy flyers, newsletters, magazines, press releases, press packets and promotional materials. 

 

We do - successfully - what the big guys do for $200+ an hour; only we do it at a rate you can afford, whether it's an occasional ad hoc project or an on-going communications/marketing relationship. We enthusiastically support the role of small businesses and non-profit operations in our economy and within the fabric of a productive and compassionate community. We have started and run both kinds of operations -- and we want to see you succeed, because, when you win, America wins.

Our Commitment

​

We will meet with you at no charge to discuss your marketing/communication needs. If we can't help you, we won't waste our time or yours. If we can recommend someone else, we will do so. If we think the project is something you can do yourself, we'll tell you how...and maybe even offer some gratis suggestions.

​

If you hire us, we will set realistic goals and help you measure our impact over a reasonable period of time. If we don't have any impact, we won't bleed your resources dry in a fruitless quest for affirmation. 

 

We will offer common sense solutions tailored to your business needs and budget. Our objective in doing this is so, when someone asks, "what do you think of Tara Engel & Associates?" you can say "They were competent. They told us what they were going to do. They did it, and they didn't break the bank. Yes, I'd hire them again."

 

Nothing we do...not marketing, not grant-writing, not strategic development, not communications, not research, not design work...will cost you more than $75/hr. And much of it will cost less. And if we give you a proposal for a project, we will always come in AT or UNDER budget.
