The Rasmussen Consulting Group

About Us

Rasmussen Consulting Group was founded in 1996 by industry veteran Rick Rasmussen as an answer to an all-too-common common Silicon Valley problem -- companies possessing strong technology but unable to grow due to limited marketing capability.

Companies in this situation commonly require assistance in understanding and properly setting a strategic direction, then describing their value proposition, positioning themselves versus their competition, deriving an easy to understand business plan, developing proper marketing materials, in print and online, to assist customers in finding and evaluating company offerings.

Rasmussen Consulting can rapidly staff nearly any marketing project thanks to years of developing strong and close ties to professionals and other consultants throughout the area. Our marketing consultants bring talents such as strategic planning, venture capital experience, S-1, S-4 and S-8 filings, public and investor relations, brochures and annual reports, trade show and event planning, logos, and website design among others.
