Company Background:
Founded in 1999, Napa Consultants, International offers branding strategies and marketing systems to entrepreneurs who are passionate about pursuing market leadership. We draw on years of experience as broker/owners of a commercial real estate firm in Beverly Hills, as teachers at the university level, and also as executive coaches for senior level management at iconic companies such as Apple, Nike, and Disney. Additionally, we craft a full range of collateral materials that build strong brands through print design, web design and video production. In 2007, Napa Consultants was awarded a U.S. patent for an innovative Internet advertising technology that specifically targets the upper demographic consumer. As a result we have developed a unique expertise in internet marketing strategy. Our headquarters are now located in Santa Barbara, California with offices in Los Angeles. |
