Creative Flow and ConnectWise make the right connections! ConnectWise, a company offering
the operating system for IT service providers, has a talented, yet overburdened in-house marketing staff
necessitating an eminent partnership with CFC’s expertise to write a variety of papers covering these topics:
-Dealing with difficult customers
-Stress Management
-Keeping skills fresh
-Interviewing and hiring
-Importance of customer surveys
-Referral programs done right
-When the entrepreneur should hire
Creative Flow and M2Creative – a winning team! Even while having an in-house staff of writers from which to
draw, M2Creative knows the value of injecting outside talent into a creative environment. The Creative Director
contracted with CFC for a writer who could write “intelligently, concisely and with creative flair.”
-Creative Flow wrote the winning proposal to M2’s client for an executive meeting in the Far East with an add-on
sales incentive event. The response incorporated creative from the graphic design team and logistics from the
project manager and brought M2 from seven bidders to a win.
-For a long-standing pharmaceutical client, M2 was to create an event proposal for a national sales meeting in
Scottsdale, AZ. Creative Flow was provided with the theme which projected a seemingly disparate hard-hitting,
energetic yet upscale atmosphere which was carried throughout the various events providing a win for M2 and
their client.
Creative Flow partners with Kronos Inc., a leading provider of workforce management solutions, to re-launch its
HR/Payroll product. The marketing of this product had been seriously neglected, so Creative Flow’s HR/PR
software industry expertise advanced the effort:
-Two by-line articles were published in an industry leading publications,
-CFC wrote two white papers (public sector HR/PR and one on Paycheck Fairness Act), and
-Published a video (see above) touted as one of the best pieces of marketing for the product.
