Our Approach
Plan > Build > Run:
Where Strategy Meets Technology + Operations
Plan. Build. Run. How can three simple verbs have such an enormous effect on creating connected customer experiences that drive business growth and inspire brand loyalty? Those three verbs underpin the Coffee + Dunn approach, which has been refined continuously over the years to the successful version it is today.
Our Proven Methodology
We approach every client with our proven methodology of Plan > Build > Run. Guiding you through the planning, buildout and execution of go-to-market strategies, this foundation results in connected experiences that drive growth and optimize value.
Plan
We begin with a diagnostic assessment that helps to understand the people, process and technology in place today to deliver genuine end-to-end customer engagement. Following this collaborative readiness audit, executive-level workshops are held to modify your processes and turn your goals into a strategic plan that will lead your teams to sustainable success. From developing message mapping and content strategy to creating lead-scoring requirements and efficiently driving more sales-ready leads, nothing escapes our attention to detail. Everything starts with a proper plan.
Build
Once an agreed-upon plan is in place, we get to work building a comprehensive strategy that marries the business goals with the technology needed to reach those departmental milestones—sales, service, you name it. But the tools we implement won’t have the desired effects unless they are expertly customized and integrated into the greater technical ecosystem. This is where Coffee + Dunn’s unmatched expertise provides a key differentiator against lesser-accomplished competitors, as we are able to build the processes required to effectively maintain and govern those implementations. It’s why we’re one of the leading firms working alongside Microsoft for over a decade to ensure the success of its customers utilizing Dynamics 365 products.
Run
The work isn’t done once the plan is in place and the technology has been built. Coffee + Dunn bridges the gap between software implementation and marketing agencies to optimize marketing performance and drive business growth. As an extension of your team, we execute integrated campaigns that scale your solution based on the status of your demand funnel, all while avoiding the costs and time delays that are common to larger internal organizations. We offer industry-leading training and support and create customized analytics for optimal ROI and performance.

Better Together
Sales and Marketing. IT and the Business. Coffee + Dunn and our clients. The best results are born from true collaboration. A mutually beneficial relationship that can begin over a simple cup of coffee, even if that’s virtual, followed by rolling up our sleeves and getting things ”dunn.” From best practices guidance to employing leading technologies, we work with you to achieve a common goal – delivering solutions + expertise that help you create meaningful connected experiences with your customers when and where it matters most.
Trust

It’s About More Than Software Implementation

Our approach to planning, building and executing unforgettable connected experiences for customers starts with meticulously aligning your strategy, technology and operations—and it never ends. Using connected organizational strategies, technology implementation and developing personalized engagement opportunities in tandem with best-in-class performance attribution and analytics allows you to connect the right customers to the right message at the right time.
