Who We Are

Lot 19 Consulting focuses on the intersection of marketing and placemaking. Our approach focuses on a local community's strengths, inspiration, and potential. Our intention is to create and promote spaces that benefit the long-term interests and well-being of residents. As a woman-owned business, we believe that women and a diversity of voices play a critical role in public engagement, community events, and connection with place. We innovate by thinking critically about the way things have been done, listening to ideas and data about what better ways there might be to accomplish goals, and finding the right audiences to target with effective messaging.

 

Guiding Principles

Be curious
We value that our clients are experts in their fields. We want each project we undertake to be fun and educational for everyone. 

Be collaborative
We strive for input from a diverse group of stakeholders. Through a deeper understanding of end-users we can develop insights and strategies that make a difference in communities. 

Be prepared
We believe that everything takes planning and practice. We believe our best adventures are those that have a big objective that can be measured, worked through, and achieved.

Be transparent
We respect honesty in our work. We aim to report on our successes and failures because doing so enables us to understand, regroup, and recalculate.
