About Us

Helping you navigate your
success story

Sounding Line Data is a marketing and business planning company that specializes in research, analytics and data coaching.

Our Mission

To support data equality in business, especially for entrepreneurs, small businesses and non-profit organizations.

Our Vision

A world where no entrepreneur or marketer ever again says the words, “I’m not a math person.”

Our Process

We start with the five “W’s” but then we dig deeper and ask the four “H’s”–how much, how often, how long and how come?

Core Values

Data Equality

No one should be denied access to data, especially not because of lack of budget or education, or due to self-perpetuating beliefs. How can we help you gather the data you need?

Adventure

So many creative pursuits have their foundation in math, including music, art, cooking, astronomy, and navigation. How can we tap into our creativity today?

Logic

Order is not the enemy of creativity. Logic is the foundation for critical thinking, problem solving, goal setting and creativity. What strategic pathways can we build together?

Always Be Learning

There are always more things to .learn and multiple ways to learn them. How can we learn by teaching others?

Inspiration

Be true to what inspires you and notice what you notice. How can we change the world together?
