No matter the scope, Pathfinders approaches every project with serious vigor. So, when we were chosen by Stryker as a strategic partner to help them initiate, drive, and execute an entire launch for System 7 – a line of heavy duty power tools for Stryker Surgical – it was just a given that we’d pull out all the stops – from bisque to brûlée – to make an immediate and definitive sales impact. (Yeah … we like to class things up a bit. That’s just how we roll.)
Heavy duty results means doing some heavy duty homework!

- Toneboards and creative recommendation
- Sales tools
- Tradeshow participation
- Full media calendar, including placement in trade publications, advertisements
- Literature
