When it comes to exploring ideas and strategies from all angles, RCG Valuation relies on AO to bring it all to life.
Back in 2019 RCG Valuation was reinventing their business with some truly innovative service offerings in Cost Segregation Studies. Scott Roelofs, RCG’s owner, came to us for help with their rebrand and to create a new website that would better reflect who they were becoming. We lead RCG through our branding, content strategy, and UX processes. Scott would share his ideas and we would make them happen.
The result was truly awesome and became the platform for Scott’s business to take off. In the past 3 years RCG Valuation’s revenue has grown by a factor of 20.
