About

Ever wonder what happens when deep curiosity meets strategic clarity? When real human insight drives decisions, not just gut feelings or spreadsheets? That’s where The Halyard Group lives.

We are a consultancy that helps organizations actually understand their audiences, sharpen their strategic direction, and create experiences that drive measurable growth. We’re not just another “vendor.” We’re partners who roll up our sleeves with you—asking the tough questions, challenging assumptions, and building strategies that work in the real world.

Not a One-Size-Fits-All Approach

While we started as a one-person show, our work is powered by a network of seasoned consultants, thought partners, and specialists—from strategists to operational experts. This means you get the right team, at your budget, for your challenges.

We approach every engagement with the belief that smart strategy starts with great listening. That means:

  • Asking the right questions, not just the easy ones
  • Using research and data as the foundation of insight
  • Translating complex signals into clear decisions
  • Turning strategy into action that creates value

What We Do Best

  • Strategic Research & Audience Insight – We go beyond surface level. We uncover motivations, behaviors, and unmet needs so your decisions are grounded in reality, not assumptions.  
  • Marketing & Messaging Strategy – We help you articulate your value with clarity and confidence.
  • Focus Group Facilitation & Qualitative Analysis – Real conversations. Real nuance. Actionable outcomes.  
  • Event & Meeting Strategy – From planning to execution, we make the moments you create matter.  
  • Integrated Campaign Planning – Thoughtful strategy aligned with measurable goals and outcomes.

Why It Matters

Too many organizations make decisions based on hunches or outdated assumptions. In a world crowded with noise, clarity becomes your competitive edge. At The Halyard Group, we help you find that edge—and use it.

We believe strategy should be:

  • Human-centered, not ego-centered
  • Practical, not just theoretical
  • Measured, not imagined
  • Built to last, not built to fade

Whether you’re a small team or a middle-market organization, we meet you where you are—with honesty, experience, and a relentless focus on outcomes.
