What The Post Group does

The Post Group, Inc. is a privately held, founder-led boutique consulting firm incorporated in New Hampshire and headquartered in Hollis, NH. Founded in 2009 by Lynn Post (President) and Mark Post, Ph.D. (Vice President), the firm delivers marketing, operations, and strategy services to small businesses and nonprofit organizations across New England. Services are organized into three categories: Marketing Services (content marketing, email campaigns, website development on WordPress, grant writing, social media), Operations Services (accounting/finance using QuickBooks, donor management via Giftworks, customer databases, document management on Microsoft Office), and Strategy Services (business plans, marketing plans, IT strategy). Deliverables are produced through project-based, quote-driven engagements led personally by the two founders, with no external institutional funding and no disclosed headcount beyond the 1–10 employee band.

The firm's underlying technology stack is built entirely on accessible, off-the-shelf platforms rather than proprietary IP. Core tools include Microsoft Office for document management and contact databases, WordPress for website and microsite development, QuickBooks for financial system restructuring, Giftworks as a cloud-based donor management solution, VerticalResponse for email marketing, and Bulker Mailer Professional for direct mail automation. Distinctive processes — such as an artist-profile newsletter system, integrated direct mail/email campaigns for partner artists, Giftworks implementation with data consolidation/cleansing, and automated artist application/contract workflows — represent repeatable methodologies rather than protected technology. The firm does not develop or market any software products, mobile applications, or APIs.

Commercially, The Post Group operates on a professional-services revenue model with project-based, quote-driven pricing and no publicly disclosed rates. The go-to-market is sales-led and consultative, relying on the company website's case studies and testimonials, direct referrals, and the principals' professional networks. Documented customers include Paradise City Arts Festivals, The Bridge House homeless shelter, Visiting Nurse and Hospice of Vermont and New Hampshire, and Nashua Senior Activity Center. No expansion beyond New England, no external funding, and no M&A or leadership transitions are evidenced in the available material.
