I thought the session was amazing for helping me understand AI. Before, I thought it was over my head and would not be as easily grasped. As you know, Patti’s been able to help me, so it’s been great. I’m excited about it. This is definitely going to make my marketing team’s life more efficient and effective. It helps our brand, and I’ve really enjoyed this session.

Michelle Long, Director of Marketing, KMI International

The strategy and AI session you facilitated for me last week provided the “micro bites” I needed to begin to take steps forward with my business.

GWD is a firm that specializes in coaching businesses and nonprofits on how to organize, read, and leverage their own data and obtain the missing pieces to take a pixelated marketing approach and make it crystal clear for all parties involved. 

GWD’s first step is a 30-minute intro call where the first 15 minutes will be focused on GWD’s capabilities, and the remaining 15 minutes will be focused on identifying your needs, goals, budget, and timing. Following the intro call will be a Genius Afternoon where they dive deep into what you have, what you don’t have, and what you need before you commit to a hefty research or data analysis approach (which will also cost way less than a media buy with the likes of any major ad network). 

I just spent about 45 minutes on a call with Patti, co-owner of GWD, to discuss a client’s challenge and see if she could help. In those 45 minutes, I got super excited and truly believe that her company is what all my clients currently need so that we can both use the final data to build the right targeting approach and deliver on their goals as efficiently and effectively as possible. 

I now recommend GWD to as many clients as possible to set us up for success.

Grounded with Data makes creating surveys a breeze and data analysis exciting. The team is friendly, down to earth, and darn good at what they do. For our project, Jack took the time to develop a survey around the many perspectives around a complicated challenge. He sought to use data to create the whole picture and he achieved just that. The resulting data was provided in a way that was clear to understand and helped our team create an action plan for the work we would need to do next.

-Kaileigh Anne Tayek
Director, CFCArts School of Arts & Health

“The GWD team was able to turn all our data troubles into an action plan designed to lead our organization to a single source of truth with data. Without GWD we would not have been able to do such a detailed analysis of our current systems and plan a roadmap towards success with data.”

-Anne Flomenhaft, Manager of Political Programs at New American Leaders

It’s very helpful. I mean, it’s an overwhelming amount of data. But it’s exactly what we needed to make the right decisions about what’s best for the residents. And who, who, what do they really like? Where will they go? Is it already there? Does it need to be built? We definitely have enough data to start working on those next steps.

Janet Ziomek, Creative Aging Project Manager, Foundation for a Healthier West Orange

“The analysis, guidance, and actions recommended by Danielle, Jack, and Patti were the value of this engagement.”

Pam Gould, Executive Director, Shepherd’s Hope

We ran the events survey for them for their 25th Annual Famous Faces Masquerade Ball.

WPHF wanted to evaluate its Coordinated Youth Initiative. The program deserved an enhancement, and a connection with new and existing resources, to provide needed services to the community and ways these services could be measured for success. In addition, it was important to learn from others and get confirmation from subject matter experts to help fortify the program’s direction. So the American School Health Association was also engaged.

Thank you to Patti, Jack, and the Grounded with Data team for your comprehensive assessment and recommendations for the Winter Park Health Foundation’s Children and Youth Initiative. Your thorough and timely work provided us with eye opening data that will play a central role in the future of the Foundation’s youth focused philanthropic work.

Melodie Griffin, Program Officer, Winter Park Health Foundation

It’s beneficial for Dr. Jack and Patti to start working with a nonprofit as early as possible when change is in the air. We have this uncanny ability to change perspectives on the possible use cases of data in any scenario. I was having an annual planning strategy meeting with one of our WPHF clients, Lindsay Kist, and she said, “you know, I never think about some of these things until we get into a conversation, and then my mind shifts. It’s fantastic.”

I recently spent a fascinating two hours exploring the client rapid-growth-skills applied by Patti and Jack to their customer’s products. After spending 50 years as CEO/Creative Strategist of my own ad agency…these two knocked my socks off! Of the 50 years of growth that I invested, 30 were spent developing the nation’s leading software-industry-focused ad agency (www.kbates.com) which depended totally on the unique heaving thinking skills offered regularly by Grounded With Data. These folks are thinkers to a degree that I have never encountered before. And as we all know, successful sales and marketing are heavily dependent on data driven creative solutions, such as those offered by Patti and Jack’s unique 3 step Gap Analysis!

Your amazing reports are making our team feel creatively ‘super-charged!’

Carolyn Capern, Partner CTS Agency, Marketing Agency of Record for Central Florida Substance Abuse Coalition

We certainly benefited from all our meetings, the comb through, the deep scrubbing on our process, and fully made us aware of the steps we’d need to take to ease the burden of report building on the Content Managers. Reporting to clients is a significant deliverable that shows clients the hard work we’re doing for them and how we are meeting their goals, so this will continue to be an ongoing evolution in how we operate. Thank you, Grounded With Data, for your help thus far!”

Kelly Trace, owner of REACH

Grounded With Data gave us the strong foundation that we needed to launch a new project based on research. They bought detailed information to the table and their own ideas, as well. It was a great experience.

Dr. Lisa Beaury, DOM, Healing Alternatives/Vibrant You

The data analysis and presentation [Patti and Jack] put together was exactly what we needed. Your team really does fabulous work with data!

Melodie Griffin, Program Officer, Winter Park Health Foundation

While planning for the opening of the Center for Health & Wellbeing, we knew it was critical to establish protocols and systems for collecting data to plan and evaluate the services provided to the community. The research gurus and data nerds… [led by Patti and Jack]…have not only helped us get the data, their analysis has provided valuable insights for program planning and service delivery.

Deb Watson, Executive Vice President, Winter Park Health Foundation

Here at the Adult Literacy League, we train volunteers to serve as one-to-one tutors to teach Central Florida’s adults to read, write and speak English. Our friends at Grounded With Data provided us with tremendous service. They spoke with the people who matter the most. They spoke with our volunteers. They spoke with all of our constituents, our board, our donors, even our staff and found out things we were doing right and things we might have been missing the mark on with the data that they gathered. As a result, in conducting surveys for the Adult Literacy League, we could pivot and adjust the way we were communicating with our constituents to make it more comfortable for them and more profitable for us. We are so grateful to Grounded With Data.

Gina Solomon, Executive Director, Adult Literacy League

Our experience was outstanding; our time commitment from soup to nuts was minimal and very worthwhile… The employee survey really helped us to understand where our employees are, and GWD’s analysis included suggestions for how we might improve… The biggest aha moment for me really came from our donors. We understood exactly who our donors are and how to better improve our approach to bringing other donors under the tent… I just can’t say enough about how worthwhile it is to go through this process and get the information that every organization really needs to be looking at so you can take that information and incorporate it into your strategic goals.

Lui Damiani, Executive Director, Victim Service Center

It was apparent from the start that… you are dedicated, cohesive, and focused on assisting non-profits to understand their key stakeholders… The energy in which you have approached the work is refreshing and contagious. Personally, I will use the insights obtained in encounters with staff to ensure they are heard and more importantly felt listened to.

Joellen Revell, Program Director, Victim Service Center

[Grounded With Data] has been wonderful to work with from beginning to end. The information gained from our staff provided us with valuable insight into their needs and concerns. With this knowledge, we were able to make the changes in our benefits to improve our staff satisfaction
