2. We help companies develop, deploy and measure
their business and online marketing strategies.
Founded in 2004, Lima Consulting Group (LCG) helps
companies develop, deploy and measure their business
and online marketing strategies. We offer a range of
professional services that complement our online
marketing strategy consulting service, including online
marketing, website and ecommerce development,
implementation services, business process consulting,
and project management services.
We work with the leading web analytics solutions provider, Omniture, and with the
leading on-demand business management software, NetSuite. We maintain
technical certifications with many other technical solutions such as Google,
Microsoft, Ektron, SalesForce, MX Logic (now McAfee) and many e-mail marketing
platforms.
We describe our capabilities by aligning our capabilities with our client’s business
models. We find that many of our clients know that they have a business challenge,
but they often express concerns that they ―do not know what they don’t know‖ when
it comes to identifying answers. By organizing our offering by business model our
clients more easily identify the services needed to address their challenges.
We work with four business models. Each model has many variations and many
companies utilize more than one within their organization. It is also important to note
that the nearly all of these models are used by the industries we serve.
Business Models Description
e-commerce business For those companies that sell their products and services online,
or that connect others who do.
Services For companies that perform services in behalf of a client. This is
the broadest of the models and includes initiatives to lower costs
to serve clients such as the online banking model.
Digital Publishing For those companies that sell their digital content.
Digital Advertising For those companies that profit by advertising to their online
audience.

3. What Makes Lima Consulting Group Different?
We’ve always believed that to grow our business we have to offer the most value in
the marketplace for the segments we reach. We do that in four ways:
(1) Consultants First. We focus on advancing our clients interests before
our own or those of our technical partners. We’re problem solvers first,
not promoters of technology. That’s why we call ourselves a Consulting
Group.
(2) Relentless Thinking From Teams of Experts. Companies don’t make
money- people do. The skills needed to win in the online marketing and
business software industries will continue to accelerate in line with the
pace of innovation. Our role is to help you develop and deploy
appropriate marketing strategies and tactics to provide engaging
relationships with each of your client segments. To do this successfully,
we recognize that our people must provide highly specialized skills as
they collaborate in a multi-disciplinary team. We train our consultants to
be subject matter experts within their discipline and highly collaborative
in their interactions with equally talented experts from other disciplines.
Because innovation waits for no one, we are relentless in our thinking
and in exceeding expectations.
(3) Proven Processes, Methods & Frameworks. Because we understand
that no organization has unlimited resources, we know how important it
is to align your people, processes and technology with your business
objectives. Lima Consulting has a unique methodology that aligns
business objectives with the appropriate marketing execution and
software needed within your organization. We go beyond executing a
creative brief because we start with
strategy and end campaigns by
measuring results so that we can make
recommendations to improve the
strategy, execution and campaigns in
subsequent initiatives.
(4) Deep & Breadth of Expertise. Whether
we’re developing traditional or digital
marketing strategy, conducting
implementation services, executing
tactics or measuring results we’ve
worked awfully hard to attract and
retain a team of all-stars. Our team has
experience in leading marketing
companies, technology organizations
and consulting firms.

4. We understand that bringing a new relationship into your organization has its
challenges. We are consultants first, relentless in our commitment to solving your
challenges, who bring world-class marketing, business and technical backgrounds.
We are one of a very few companies who can help marketers develop the appropriate
strategies, tools, tactics and measurement to accomplish their business and online
marketing objectives.
We have offices throughout Latin America to bring our clients world-class resources
at an excellent value. Our teams become an integral part of each client’s marketing
efforts, which means long-term effectiveness and exceptional cost-efficiency.
Industries We Serve
Industries
Lima Consulting Group serves professional services firms, financial services,
distribution companies, e-commerce stores,
media companies, publishers and
advertisers of all sizes and government
agencies at the state and federal levels.
We also focus on companies interested in
reaching Spanish speaking markets be they
in Latin America or the United States.
Geographies
We have offices in the United States,
Uruguay, Colombia and plan to open one in
Brazil in the fall of 2010.
How is Lima Consulting
Positioned to Help?
We are not a digital agency.
We are not a management consulting firm.
We are not software innovators.
We are integrators who stand at the center of the strategy, technology, execution and
measurement of online marketing and business strategy initiatives.
We often hear from our clients that our clients are dissatisfied with marketing
® (866) 500-LIMA (5462) www.limaconsulting.com 4
5. consultants who don’t understand how to benefit from information technology and
that their technical practitioners don’t understand how to relate software or online
marketing to their business. Our clients generally work in environments where they
also are held accountable to consistently improve marketing result. Over time, the
hodge-podge of software makes it difficult to measure results, new strategies prove
too difficult to implement and what you can do is often confined or defined by
technical or human resource limitations.
So with each budgeting cycle our clients undergo a process that often looks like the
process outlined in the graphic below: they develop their traditional and online
marketing strategy, select the technical solutions to support the intended strategy,
execute the plan and then measure the results from end-to-end. Assembling a
coherent and integrated plan to effectively put all of this together is also a skill-set in
and of itself, but not one that marketers are generally prepared to conduct.
The consultants at Lima Consulting Group are integrators that stand with you at the
center of these four disciplines (1) strategy, (2) tools, (3) execution and (4)
measurement of your online marketing and business initiatives.
Our Strategic Framework
Since 2004 we have worked hard to
improve our processes to address our
clients’ needs. Our methodology is
simple, comprehensive and easy to
deploy across the four business
models we serve. Our methodology is
four step process that incorporates
the disciplines needed to play and
needed to win in online marketing.

6. Think
Lima Consulting Group is best known for delivering cohesive and integrated online marketing
strategies. Developing strategy starts with an understanding of business objectives. From
there, Lima Consulting Group’s collaborates with you to make a recommendation on an
appropriate online marketing strategy. We help define objectives and goals, set your
expectations and determine how results should be measured. The deliverables at this stage
generally include the roadmap for the life of the strategy.
We have offerings to audit the existing content, analytics posture, technical solutions, and of
course, the effectiveness of existing strategies.
Tool
We identify the software, systems and even processes needed to execute the strategy.
Sometimes we make recommendations on human resources, training and we implement the
software needed to run a successful and integrated online marketing strategy.
Technology should not define or confine the desired business processes; rather they should
support them. Business requirements and process maps are very helpful tools we deploy to
ensure we get this step right.
Do
Executing a strategy often involves the coordinated management of internal and external
resources. We often manage these processes and resources for our clients to ensure the
desired outcomes.
Measure and Adjust
This is where we help our clients make more money and gain efficiencies. We hold routine
meetings to review the performance of campaigns and identify new areas for testing. As we
gain more consumer insights, we offer recommendations on how to create new experiences
for our clients.

12. Lima Consulting Group Values
Integrity
Do what’s right, legally and morally. Integrity is a quality developed by adhering to
moral principles. It requires that we do and say nothing that deceives others. As our
integrity grows, so will the trust others place in us.
Selfless Service
Put the welfare of clients, the company, and subordinates before our own by placing
loyalties to the values of the organization before personal gain. The basic building
block of selfless service is based on the commitment of each team member to
persevere in making contributions while placing our clients’ interests first.
Duty
Exceed the expectations of others. Your personal expectations demonstrate who you
are, and since companies don’t make money, people do, our people are the best
metric others have in assessing our company’s future. Doing your duty means more
than completing a job. Duty means that we execute as part of a team. It’s not
enough to get great results for our clients; every member of the team owes it to the
team to grow along the way.
Respect
Treat others with dignity and respect while expecting others to do the same. Respect
is what allows us to appreciate the best in other people. Respect is trusting that all
people have done their jobs and fulfilled their duty. This attribute starts with self-
respect which results from knowing we have put forth our best effort. We are one
team and each of us has something to contribute.
Passion for Thought Leadership
Get out in front of our clients’ needs by anticipating their challenges through foresight
and relentless thinking. Objectively council our clients by drawing on our collective
experiences and through disciplined thinking. Innovate, use imagination and use
technology to address their objectives. If your passion for getting results isn’t at
100%, let someone else serve the client.
