    Summary: I lead intelligence and strategy at Program 11, a research-first content and creative agency. We run mixed-method research - ethnographic fieldwork, in-depth interviews, surveys, behavioral data analysis, competitive intelligence - to figure out what people actually think and need. Then we help companies build content, experiences, and internal alignment around that reality instead of assumptions. Over the past decade, I've designed and led research engagements for clients like Microsoft, Kaiser Permanente, Oracle, and Hertz. These include customer experience studies that shaped product strategy, competitive analyses that repositioned brands, and organizational research that helped teams communicate more clearly about what they're building and why. If you need to understand your customers better, align your team around real insight, or build trust through evidence-based communication, let's talk.

    Santa Monica, CA

    Summary: I built my career by taking on the kinds of challenges that many consultants quietly avoid. Complex branding issues, unclear strategy, teams overwhelmed by directionless growth, and organizations that know they need change but are not sure where to begin. I have always been drawn to the hard problems because solving them is where real impact happens. Over time, I became your favorite consultant’s favorite consultant. Not because I am louder or flashier, but because I consistently deliver clarity where others deliver confusion. I understand how to turn ambition into structure, structure into execution, and execution into results. Leaders trust me because I give them a plan they can act on, not buzzwords they forget after the meeting ends. My work focuses on brand strategy, marketing systems, communications, and business development. I help organizations define their identity, sharpen their message, build systems that last, and position themselves in ways that open doors. Effective strategy is never accidental. It is built with intention, and I approach every project with that level of discipline. I also authored the book Dark Marketing, which explores how brands influence behavior, shape narratives, and build loyalty. Writing it allowed me to break down complex concepts into tools decision makers can actually use. It strengthened my understanding of how modern marketing and strategy operate beneath the surface and how companies can leverage that understanding to stay ahead. Professionally, I value precision, insight, and execution. Personally, I enjoy the ambition and confidence that come with wanting to be exceptional at what I do. I take my work seriously, and I am not shy about the fact that I aim for excellence. If I am involved in a project, I expect it to reach a higher standard. I hold myself to that level because clients deserve nothing less. I work well with founders, executives, and organizations that want more than the average consultant experience. If you value clear strategy, honest guidance, and a partner who is fully committed to measurable improvement, we will be a strong fit. I am Tony Torres. Your favorite consultant’s favorite consultant. If you want to strengthen your brand, refine your positioning, or drive strategic growth, I am ready to help.
