Abstract

Mavens & Moguls is a virtual marketing-consulting firm of approximately 40 professionals. Examines the processes by which Paige Arnof-Fenn (an HBS grad with deep industry experience)draws on her experience and her network to create a high-quality marketing consulting operation that offers her and her stable of consultants challenging work, rewarding income, personal autonomy, and flexibility. Looks at the business concept, organizational structure, and value proposition of Mavens & Moguls. Because Arnof-Fenn is at the nexus of almost all the deals--and is the primary driver of Mavens & Moguls' growth--she might also be its biggest constraint.
