Who We Are

Senior consultants dedicated to mutually successful relationships for clients and agencies.

Joanne Davis founded Joanne Davis Consulting in 2000 after a successful agency career. As a senior agency leader for over 15 years, she was on the "other side" of hundreds of searches. After living through good searches and bad searches, she promised her clients (and herself) to correct the wrongs. The consulting firm specializes in a full range of client services to maximize the client/agency relationship. The firm works with clients in the U.S. and globally via its shareholder partnership with SCAN International.

The Team

Joanne has assembled a high-level team of former agency executives, dedicated to the firm’s mission of building better relationships.
