Exciting news
The Margin Release is now offering guided innovation facilitation to help museums, mission-driven companies and cultural non-profits grow.
Growth often happens at the margins, so we collaborate with you to identify which edges to expand, which overlooked gaps to fill and which new frontiers to chase in order to drive your specific growth objectives, from revenue diversification to audience expansion and fresh curatorial or marketing approaches.
new business, existing brand, decades in the making
Founded by a 20+ year business and startup executive with deep experience in innovation, product, strategy, media, marketing and management and a track record of ideating and implementing for growth. Following a life-long passion for museums our founder has worked to develop educational credentials, hands-on experience and relationships in the museum space and holds museums as core clients for our practice.
The Margin Release brand began as a blogging concept for how culture, museums and travel can help people expand the margins that may bind us from reaching the heights of our personal, professional and community growth. Now we’re putting that concept to work, literally.
To provide scale and access to broad perspectives and experience, we are in the process of building a network of specialists in key areas to offer outstanding talent and unique perspective to each client and project.
consultants, sort of
Consulting most intuitively describes what we do, but we prefer words like collaborating, facilitating, guiding, advising and thought partnering to describe the spirit of our outcomes. Our workshop formats help your team learn repeatable skills to use every day inside your organization. And our guided-process initiatives offer structured, longer-duration engagement and execution support. Either way, our work is always tailored to your needs, goals and organizational context.
