1. It's about the people.

Mutual respect and great work are the common bonds that drive us. It makes coming to work each day challenging, inspiring and downright fun. We wouldn’t have it any other way.

2. We play favorites.

(In a good way) We love our clients. Lots. We’re extremely loyal and passionate about your business and making you as successful as possible. As such, we work as a tireless advocate on your behalf. We’re also really connected to our consultants for the clear reason that they are simply outstanding at what they do.

3. We “grew up” in Silicon Valley. 

Many of us associated with STRAND, our consultants included, were here before The Valley was even called The Valley. We all inherently understand the special manner (and frenzied deadlines, chaotic process and high-stakes decision-making) that comes with working in tech. We like live and breathe this community and we understand what’s required to build success.

Shelli Strand, Founder

I’m a seasoned marketing consultant (18+ years) with deep experience in business-to-business marketing. I specialize in helping clients focus their marketing strategies on the most effective customer profile, with the most effective message, to acquire new customers, as well as strengthen their relationship with existing customers.

I also develop user and prospect communities through various leading edge marketing methods such as interactive, social media, and mobile technologies. Whether you need to bring an existing program to fruition or develop your company’s first marketing plan from scratch, I’ve got the vision, resources, and practical skills to deliver.

Christine Falsetti, Partner

For over 25 years, I’ve helped develop and drive global marketing and business strategy decisions, process changes and initiatives for some of the most prestigious companies in the Valley. I have a deep understanding of how technology products solve customer business problems—and how to best employ them. My organizational and market development work with NASA helped monetize and evolve the Internet from an academic tool to a business-critical solution. From crafting strategy to sourcing and developing world-class teams, I’m ready to jump in and get to work.
