Why is virtual consulting beneficial?

At its simplest, virtual consulting is the process of servicing clients remotely. While the pandemic may be the most recent catalyst, there are plenty of reasons consultants go virtual.

Virtual consulting has been a part of Nast Partners’ DNA for more than 20 years. The team has worked with companies across various industries and geographies. And much of this work has been achieved remotely.

Flexibility plays a big role for virtual consultants, but so does convenience. Even before COVID-19, Americans were relocating at a record low rate. As more people resist being uprooted, remote work ensures small businesses—like consulting firms—can thrive in any setting.
