ShareMedia provides extended team consulting to help ministries increase listenership and revenue and become more effective in their outreach.

Our consulting services begin with an initial comprehensive assessment undertaken by SMS consultant(s). From that assessment, an action plan including action steps and a detailed retainer proposal will be generated. The station will have the option of managing the action plan internally with their own staff and consultants. Or if they choose, they will work with SMS who will provide a specified list of services set forth in a detailed and customized retainer proposal along with a lead account executive.

All processes and services described below may be customized to fit the needs and complexity of your organization.
