Challenge
After 40 years in global manufacturing and supply chain management, Dave Alberts decided to start his own consultancy, New Wave Planning, after retiring as a Partner at Argon & Co. While Dave had the expertise and network to succeed, he faced a common startup hurdle: creating a professional brand identity from scratch.
As a new business owner, Dave needed everything from a logo to presentation materials. The traditional options weren't cutting it - freelancers were too expensive, and platforms like Fiverr and UpWork seemed overwhelming. He needed a reliable design partner who could deliver quality work without budget surprises.
"I had to start from scratch which as a new business owner, felt a bit overwhelming. A freelancer was too expensive, and other platforms were too complicated."
