"Every CEO cares about driving growth, however, the path there is not always obvious or straightforward. Holly takes decades of experience and offers five core strategies for growth that CEOs and C Suite marketing and sales executives can adjust and action within their own companies. Her high seas metaphors and relevant real-world examples make this a highly engaging read." - Sue Barsamian

WHAT WE DO

What We Offer

Whether you are a hyper-growth business, a start-up  or a turnaround, the throughlines are strategy, speed and impact next quarter - and you can’t wait for an  enterprise-class GTM engine in a year.

WHAT WE DO

Stellar, Strategic GTM

Without the Wait

Whether you are in a heated competitive race or charting a new course, world-class strategic go-to-market gives you tailwinds.

 

Some smaller and mid-sized organizations don't have the in-house power they need to get the impact their investors are looking for - which they often expect should happen overnight.

 

If you are in hyper-growth with a new round of investment, pivoting to a new business model, repositioning for competitive advantage or planning for an equity event, you don't have the time or resources to ramp a traditional marketing model. Yet, exactly when you need high-caliber, strategic marketing and sales is also when it may be out of reach.

WHY SURGE

Outcomes In Three Months...

I created Surge Strategies to fill an unmet need. Today’s progressive CEOs, founders and investors are taking a more aggressive posture to drive market momentum and generate demand to match the pace set by the cloud and digital era. Yet, you can’t get faster outcomes by applying legacy sales and marketing methods or execution models designed for the past.
