What Can We Do For You?
Project Initiation
Getting started is often half the battle as you seek to gain alignment on scope and budget across functions and leadership. We’ll assess the situation, align on an approach, expedite the definition to complete your project charter and align to base scope quickly so you can get your effort started.
Team Leadership
Many teams are awash in functional expertise but lack a single resource to manage across functions or levels. We’ll provide an experienced leader with a proven track record of completing complex, multi-functional efforts with geographically dispersed teams so your team can contribute to their maximum potential.
Schedule Control
Missed schedule milestones are often the first indication of trouble. We’ll help your team assess the root cause(s), formulate plans to address them and monitor progress while improving communication within the team and throughout the organization.
Leave of Absence Coverage
Life happens, even the best planned, resourced and skilled teams experience issues with resource continuity. We can provide a project or program manager, team lead, or business analyst to fill a gap in your resource plan.
Cost Control
Reigning in expenses can be a challenge as your team seeks solutions to continued delays. We’ll help assess financial commitments, explore other resource and payment options, create and/or revise a budget, track expenses and improve financial communications.
Coach or Mentor
If your team leader(s) are new to their role or come with a very focused skill set, they may benefit from one-on-one time from one of our Strategic Advisors. Our advisors are experts in project/program management and will expedite the skill development of your team leader(s).
Testimonials

Rick and his team put a digital marketing plan together for us, reworked our website and LinkedIn presence and are helping us stay connected with our clients and prospects with a monthly newsletter. We'd have never gotten started without their leadership and guidance and now have an internal Marketing Manager working side by side to grow our digital marketing investment.

Hired these guys for a new e-commerce web site and then received a request for a 2-hour meeting...thought to myself, "what could we possibly do for two hours this early in the website design process?" Turned out to be the most productive two-hour meeting I have ever been in. These folks have a real discovery/design process. Impressive!

Outsourcing Watch Outs
Bill thought his initial meeting with us would be a complete waste of time since he had just launched a refreshed website with a new service provider. Rick shares that after a few short minutes Bill requested an extension to get additional insights regarding the mistakes they had made when selecting a partner to refresh and support their company website.
That Scary First Step
Rick Barron uses the fear and trepidation of his first SCUBA dive at night to illustrate how 25 Fathoms enables U.S. Manufacturers to enter the darkness of digital marketing with an experienced guide, offering reassurance, providing leadership through the process and establishing an ongoing partnership coaching clients to do the work themselves.
Manufacturing IS Different
The way most manufacturers started, grew and survived the COVID-19 pandemic makes them especially vulnerable to competition in the 21st century. Their “old-school” marketing tactics are no longer viable in an environment of fresh faces and global competition. Manufacturers are different, but they don’t have to allow their uniqueness to be their downfall.
