Dr. Amy Graham

Founder & CEO

“Every empire begins with a bold idea and one fearless move. ADG Express is your launch partner—fast, focused, and built to take your business to the next level.”

ADG Consulting

ADG Consulting is a comprehensive professional services firm dedicated to helping businesses, nonprofits, and entrepreneurs navigate growth with clarity and confidence. We provide tailored consulting solutions across strategic planning, digital marketing, organizational development, and brand positioning. Our approach blends analytical precision with creative problem-solving to deliver actionable insights and measurable results. Whether you’re scaling a startup, reimagining your brand, or refining internal systems, ADG Consulting serves as a trusted partner in achieving sustainable success.

Over time, our work with early-stage founders, small businesses, and emerging organizations revealed a consistent need: many clients required high-quality support more quickly, more affordably, and earlier in their business journey—before they were ready for comprehensive, long-term consulting engagements. In response, ADG Express was created as a streamlined extension of ADG Consulting. 

ADG Express provides accessible, efficient, and execution-focused services designed to help new and growing businesses establish strong foundations and take meaningful next steps. These offerings include business registration support, business plan development, branding and marketing essentials, process management assessments (PMAs), and digital transformation assessments (DTAs). While grounded in the same rigor and expertise that define ADG Consulting, ADG Express services are intentionally scoped for speed, clarity, and immediate impact. 

Importantly, ADG Express is not separate from ADG Consulting—it is part of the same ecosystem. The services offered through ADG Express represent accelerated or foundational versions of ADG Consulting’s more advanced, customized engagements. For example, a startup may begin with an ADG Express business plan or process assessment and later transition to a more comprehensive strategic planning or organizational development engagement through ADG Consulting as their needs evolve. 

Together, ADG Consulting and ADG Express create a clear growth pathway: 

  • ADG Express supports clients at the idea, launch, and early-growth stages with practical, fast-moving solutions. 
  • ADG Consulting partners with organizations ready for deeper strategy, transformation, and sustained growth. 

This integrated model allows us to meet clients where they are—providing the right level of support at the right time—while maintaining a consistent standard of quality, insight, and impact across every stage of their journey. 

ADG Consulting vs. ADG Express

What is the difference between ADG Consulting and ADG Express?

ADG Consulting is our full-service offering, designed for clients seeking comprehensive strategy, deep-dive analysis, and long-term support.
ADG Express is a streamlined version—perfect for clients who need fast, focused solutions without the extended timeline or full-scope engagement.

Who should use ADG Express instead of the full ADG Consulting service?

ADG Express is ideal for:

  • Small businesses or startups with limited time or budget
  • Clients needing one-off deliverables (like a marketing audit, brand refresh, or pitch deck review)
  • Those who want a quick consultation or tactical solution without a full retainer

If you’re looking for high-touch, ongoing guidance, ADG Consulting is the better fit.

How fast is “Express,” and what does the process look like?

ADG Express engagements typically run 1–2 weeks from intake to delivery. After a short discovery call, we deliver a rapid turnaround solution tailored to your request.
By contrast, ADG Consulting projects often span 4–12 weeks or more, depending on scope.

Is the quality different between the two services?

Not at all. Both ADG Consulting and ADG Express uphold the same standards of quality, professionalism, and insight.
The difference lies in depth and scope—Express delivers focus and speed, while the full consulting experience offers layered strategy and extended support.

Can I start with ADG Express and upgrade to ADG Consulting later?

Absolutely. Many clients begin with ADG Express to tackle an immediate need, then move into a longer-term partnership with ADG Consulting once they see the value. It’s a flexible entry point designed to meet you where you are.
