Wouldn’t it be great if you had an exact Blueprint to help you get your business started while building your business foundations, and working with an experienced entrepreneur who’s worked with 50+ businesses? Introducing the Apto Blueprint.

hi, i'm anneliese

Business strategist & CEO of Apto media

I’m your business strategist here to help you get your business started, build your foundations, and teach you the mistakes to avoid as your business grows (yes I’m admitting to all my past mistakes to you).

As an agency owner the past three years I’ve worked with over 50 businesses in multiple different industries. These businesses came to us at different stages; from just getting started to have been in business for 15+ years! As businesses came our way I started to notice a pattern. The businesses that grew quicker all had established their business foundations when they first started their business, which enabled them to stand out, be seen, and be heard by their audience. The ones that weren’t growing as fast were the ones trying to “figure it out” along the way and frustrated that they weren’t seeing results.

I’m here to work with you 1:1 to provide you the exact blueprint of how to start, adapt, and grow your business.

Start

To start a business there are key foundations you need in order to be seen, heard, and stand out against your competitors. During this phase, we’ll work together to develop your goals, mission, values, vision, and define your story.

Adapt

As a new business, it’s hard to navigate how to stand out. We work together to get your brand to adapt to the current industry and develop a way to help your brand stand out from the competition. We’ll work together to develop your target audience, complete a competitor analysis, develop your packages & pricing, and create your sales strategy.

Here's how we've helped businesses grow

"When I approached Apto Media I was just starting my business, and I was looking for someone who could help me get it started. Every time they completed a task and we moved onto the next stage I got more excited and realized how real my business was becoming. The team was 1 on 1 and did an excellent job completing every task much better than I could’ve expected. They truly want your business to succeed as much as you do!"
Tim NilsenCEO of Nilsen Woods
“Apto Media listened to what I wanted my brand to be and brought it to life. My logo came out great and just how I’d want my brand to be seen, heard, and viewed. I love the brand book they provided so that I can continually grow my business with a consistent brand identity.”
Amanda MorehouseFounder of Brooklyn Beauty Queen
“Incredible strategy call! It was straight to the point but I also left with tangible value and deeper knowledge on what platforms I need to focus on. The fact that the team actually strategized on a solution that was spot on was a huge time saver too. It really solved the problem of not having enough time to dedicate to marketing, but helped me come up with a solution for my marketing strategies that actually felt realistic.”

Frequently asked questions

A business strategist helps you bring your business idea to life by strategizing, creating, and planning a viable business plan. We help your business get seen, heard, and understood. Not only do we take the guess work out of how to start your business we help you plan how to run your business from the very beginning.

A business (or company, by definition) is an organization, or team of people, that either offers services to clients or produces products for consumers. A brand is the part of a business that connects with the customer. Thus I focus on building a business to bring in profit and reach your ideal client WHILE also building a brand for your business.

A strategist will help you get organized, teach you how to run a business, help you with pricing, and really bring your idea to life. A business coach is great to hire if you’ve been running your business for a bit and feel you need extra support on how to grow. They help you overcome limiting beliefs, and mindset blocks that may be preventing you from running your business effectively. As a business strategist I listen to your ideas, thoughts, and goals and put them all together into a plan of action.

Once you are super clear on the strategies behind your business. A coach will help with your mindset, limiting beliefs, and reasons why you personally may be holding your business back from growing. A consultant will help in a specific area of your business that you want to learn more about. Think of a Pinterest consultant, a FB ads consultant, Google ads expert consultant, etc.

Helping small businesses grow is my passion and the reason I started Apto Media. After 3 years I realized that a lot of businesses trouble stemmed from their decisions (or the decisions they didn’t make) they made at the very beginning. If you’re ready to have a plan of action and grow a profitable business then the Apto Blueprint is perfect for you.

Nope. Building a business takes an army and allow me to be your Commander.

Service-based businesses will benefit from this the Apto Blueprint. I will work with product based businesses as well but not all of them. Send through an application and we can discuss.

I’ve worked with all types of businesses through my corporate and entrepreneurial career. What I’ve realized is that the type of industry doesn’t matter, but creating an effective strategy, messaging, and having the foundations is what gets a business up and running.

Typically each week the amount of work will take 5-6 hours.
