Alliance Introduces an Industry-First Service Performance Guarantee™ for Qualified Companies
Personify Group, Inc., a commercialization, branding, public relations, and demand generation firm serving the dental industry, and Michael R. Crane & Associates, Ltd. (MRCA), an international dental commercialization and strategic advisory firm, today announced a strategic alliance designed to help dental manufacturers, technology companies, investors, and innovators accelerate commercial growth.
The alliance brings together complementary capabilities across the commercialization lifecycle—from brand strategy, positioning, public relations, and demand generation to market assessment, go-to-market strategy, executive leadership, distribution, channel development, and international expansion. Both companies will continue to operate as independent business entities.
“The dental marketplace has become increasingly complex,” said David Solomon, Senior Consultant at MRCA. “Companies must navigate changing distribution models, DSOs, private equity, global competition, digital transformation, and increasingly sophisticated buyers. By connecting strategic advisory services with marketing and commercial execution, we can provide greater continuity and accountability from strategy through implementation.”
“Business scalability is rarely the result of a single initiative,” said Mark Ross, Personify Group Co-Founder and Chief Branding Officer. “It is the outcome of a deliberately connected commercialization strategy, where brand becomes an operating system for scalable growth.”
Together, Personify Group and MRCA will provide expertise in brand strategy, public relations, demand generation, commercialization and go-to-market planning, manufacturer, distributor, and DSO channel development, U.S. and international expansion, executive recruitment, strategic partnerships, licensing, and mergers and acquisitions.
Introducing the Service Performance Guarantee
As part of the alliance, Personify Group and MRCA are also introducing a new accountability model, which includes what they believe to be the dental industry’s first Service Performance Guarantee™ (SPG), under which the firms may place a portion of their own professional fees at risk in support of clearly defined and mutually agreed-upon commercial objectives, measurement criteria, and execution responsibilities.
“We believe accountability should extend beyond simply billing for professional time,” said Michael Nordahl, Global Dental Advisor for MRCA. “For qualifying engagements, SPG is intended to demonstrate our confidence in our people and processes, and our commitment to helping our clients achieve their business goals.”
“Our objective is not to become the largest consultancy serving dentistry,” said Michael Ventriello, Personify Group Co-Founder and Chief Communications Officer. “It is to become the industry’s most trusted commercialization partner for companies serious about shaping the future of dentistry and building lasting market value.”
