Consulting
San Jose Consulting is the strategic planning and branding division of The San Jose Group, which works with our clients on the front-end of the marketing process.
First the Consulting Division uses a patented system called Inside Out™ to help our clients assess their infrastructural needs, quantify their upside growth potential and lay the necessary groundwork before entering the marketplace.
We then transform this intelligence into detailed, tactical plans that motivate the Hispanic consumer to purchase our clients' products and services, with the largest possible return on their investments.

Account Planning
In its most basic form, planning is the 'who, what, where, when, why' decided in advance for a given project or situation. Our account leaders clearly define objectives and then defer strategic recommendations to specific department heads. This synergetic strategic approach ensures planning recommendations based on the combined wisdom of individual experts. Once these recommendations are compiled, our governing board meets to prioritize and select which will be included in our final recommendations.
Research Analyst
In the marketing communications industry, market research is required at all levels. It provides the necessary knowledge and the basis for making wise and successful decisions. We are concerned with our clients’ potential sales; therefore we study past statistics to be able to make future predictions. Our analysts gather data on competitors, and provide the necessary information for deciding how to promote, distribute, design and price products or services. Analysts also devise methods and procedures, including phone, personal or email surveys, to assess consumer preferences and public attitudes on various issues.
Account Services
The objective and strategic recommendations are forwarded from the Account Planning team to the Account Services team, which develops tactical actions that are in line with the approved strategies. The Account Services team executes approved recommendations on a day-to-day basis and conducts client interaction, transparency and collaboration across each department.
The Account Services team works with and coordinates the following services:

"After graduating from SIU, I accepted a job with Walgreen's as an assistant manager. A year later, I was still determined to get into advertising industry.

The Junior Executive Program made it possible for my dream to come true."
