Who we are

Our Story

REM is the stage of sleep where dreams are created. For many small businesses, COVID-19 has been an absolute nightmare.

 

Small businesses are struggling to stay open and face significant problems attracting, engaging and retaining customers.  Now more than ever, they need support.

Our Mission

At Rem and Company, we're on a mission to keep doors open and dreams alive.

We began by offering free consulting services to small businesses impacted by COVID-19.

Through industry research and working with clients, we expanded to meet the needs of our clients and grew into an information hub and digital community platform for small businesses.

If you think your business could benefit from our services or are curious to learn more, we’d love to hear from you and set up a time to connect!

If you know of a small business that could use our help, please share. We’d love to get in touch with them.

We are looking for innovative problem solvers, of all levels, willing to dedicate their downtime to helping small businesses thrive.

How we can help

Our Take

Our expertise lies in understanding the consumer, particularly those who are digitally savvy. COVID-19 has caused a digital acceleration and many small businesses have been thrown into a space where they do not fully understand the consumer or how to engage with them through social media or other digital platforms. This is a sphere where Gen Z and millennials dominate because of their purchasing power and the influence they exert over household spending. This translates into superior digital and financial knowledge that can effectively navigate times of disruption and uncertainty. They are the connection to the rest of the market and we are your connection to how to engage them .

Marketing

Every brand is trying to get their customers’ attention right now and customers are overwhelmed. We work with each of our clients to examine their marketing strategies across various platforms and help brands develop appropriate and effective messaging and campaigns. Our expertise is not only in creating valuable content but in optimization through analytics.

User Experience

We help our clients think about how to streamline processes and help manage both customer and employee experiences. By analyzing our clients current operations, we think of ways to best utilize employees and preserve resources. Whether it is interviewing users, researching trends, performing competitive analyses or AB testing, our consultants are adept at analyzing data in order to strategize and test potential technology solutions.

Strategy

Our strategy is rooted in research and the mantra “it’s not only what you know but who you know”. Our consultants are immersed in what is going on in your industry, what your competitors are doing, and everything COVID-19 related. We are here to guide and connect with the available resources out there whether they are financial, legal, or technological. 

Through Rem on Campus, Rem and Company hopes to provide an immersive curriculum shaping students and young problem solvers into the next generation of impact-driven innovators.

The day after the Governor of Texas declared lockdown and that gatherings could not be greater than five people, Katherine and Daria began receiving numerous phone calls: “I spent three or four days on the phone with clients canceling and rescheduling their events,” Katherine said, “we were devastated because all of our business is offline and everything that was prohibited was the only things paying our bills.” However, rather than doing nothing, the co-founders used this time to augment their business.
