LOREN RHOADS - FOUNDER & PRESIDENT
Thank you for visiting The Rhoads Group. Rhoads- It’s my name, not a megalithic corporation.
As an entrepreneur, I have grown the company on a few simple tenets: listening and learning, finding solutions that generate the highest return on investment, working hard and maintaining integrity.
I believe the best relationships deal openly with real issues. This means seeing things from your point of view, while understanding them from your customers’ points of view and having the guts to trust our recommendations.
It means telling us what you think and allowing us to respond to you honestly and openly. It’s the ability to see a new path and take it. It’s the passionate belief in an idea and the courage to see it through.
It’s about changing your advertising in new ways. Helping you stand for something. And making it count. Personally, it’s about working with people who care. People who add value. People who strive for results.
Fortunately, we are surrounded by talented, innovative and passionate people who aren’t afraid to reinvent themselves. They amaze us every day, and we are better for it. This is The Rhoads Group philosophy.
– Loren Rhoads, Founder & President
