About Us

Z-axis Marketing, Inc. founded in 1990, serves as the holding company for all of Jerry Fletcher's businesses. The  reputation of the company is based on his skills of business development and new product introductions for consultants of all kinds. Jerry helps consultants strategize and implement Trust-based brand development, traditional and internet marketing.  

The Z-axis name sums up his observations about winners. It  comes from a youth misspent in pool halls and reading science fiction to learn how to see all the angles as well as 30 years as a corporate marketing hand. 

Some businesses just seem to be  effortlessly successful while others always have something come out of  the blue that bites them in the butt. The difference is on the z-axis. Every  business is evaluated in terms of time (the x-axis) and money (the  y-axis). But the reason they succeed or fail is Trust (the z-axis). 

The Consultant Marketing and Brand Poobah, Jerry Fletcher, founded Z-axis when he left his position as CEO of a successful Portland, Oregon business-to- business advertising agency.  He has brought his strategic assistance and proven processes to Positioning, Naming, Branding and Business Development to all sizes of companies from garage-based high-tech start-ups (Digimarc. which he named) to international Fortune 500 Companies (ADC Kentrox) but for the last 25 years he has concentrated on Consultant Marketing.
