THE HISTORY BEHIND RCG As the founder of networking companies Contact Advocate, Inc., and ConnectME!, Bryn Tindall has showcased the value of banking business relationships. The social events these companies hosted demonstrated networking at its best. The success of these companies brought a larger concept into view. Tindall realized that a similar networking paradigm could be applied directly to corporations. Companies already had an enormous amount of relationship capital within their own infrastructure. Every employee, vendor, partner, and associate knew someone, or had a contact of value to someone else. It was obvious - there were connections that could lead to new business. Finding the most direct path was the key. That realization led to a partnership with Paul Butcher (RCG President) and the creation of Relationship Capital Group. Butcher’s experience with PWB Associates, Affinity Partners and IMG Sports and Entertainment Group made for a natural fit. Working with strategist Steve McLoughlin (RCG Vice President), RCG was designed to assist companies in finding and leveraging the connections they already have within their organization. Most notably, RCG’s business model includes unique and extensive interview techniques, which capture valuable contacts not found in traditional databases. RCG focuses on who people know and then combines strategy and software applications to create more direct paths which dramatically shorten sales cycles. PRACTICING WHAT WE PREACH Bryn Tindall is the founder, owner, and CEO of several specialized marketing companies including Horizon Marketing Group, Vanguard Strategies Company, and Peer360. This connected yet diverse group of companies provides clients with the ability to combine services that include strategic planning, creative design and email marketing. The end result is a uniquely tailored approach that exactly meets the needs of each client. Being a firm believer in building on both known and undiscovered relationships, Tindall's senior management team has engaged Relationship Capital Group to increase business opportunities for the Horizon family of companies. “The same principles and programming that every RCG client receives will be applied to growing our sister companies,” states RCG President Paul Butcher. “We firmly believe RCG can intelligently grow any business and I am looking forward to seeing the impact made by RCG on these other companies.”
