Monica B. Fine

Professor and Consultant

Marketing is what I do—in more ways than one.

Remember that old saying, “Those that can’t do, teach”?

When I hear that old adage, I have to smile. Because for many of us academic types, it’s not remotely true.

Yes, I teach marketing at Coastal Carolina University, and I serve as the Associate Dean of Student Success for the Wall College of Business. I was also most recently the Department Chair for the Marketing & Hospitality Department. But like any good marketer, I’m not at my best unless I’m doing marketing, too. When I’m not in the classroom, I’m consulting for small businesses in the South, helping them to grow through better marketing, branding, and promotion.

Explore this site to learn more about my consulting services (through my consulting business, B. Fine Consulting), my research pursuits, and more. I look forward to connecting with you.

Social

When it comes to social media, strategy is the easy part. It’s the execution—especially the time required to do it well—that’s the real challenge for small and medium-sized businesses. We’re here to help with both.

Search Engine Optimization

There’s a saying that goes, “The second page of Google search results is where a company goes to die.” We’ll work with you to get your site listed on Google & Apple Maps, register your site with search engines, and more.

With more product reviews, you can improve your SEO strategy. Plus, reviews are a respected trust signal for consumers. Our team provides product question and answer management, responses to negative reviews, and more.

Who’s your competition? What do your customers value? What sets you apart from the rest? Market research (both quantitative surveys and qualitative focus groups) can answer these questions and more.
