SSB

Repositioning a Data Firm for Market Leadership and Acquisition

SSB Consulting built its reputation as a leader in data analytics and CRM solutions, helping organizations optimize revenue generation, fundraising, and customer engagement. With clients spanning higher education, professional sports, and nonprofit sectors, SSB was uniquely positioned to drive data-driven business intelligence.

Despite its success, SSB needed a stronger brand identity and a refined market position that would prepare it for future acquisition. Watson developed a strategic rebrand, corporate messaging framework, and growth marketing strategy, positioning SSB as a premium analytics firm ready for expansion.
