UI/UX consultants
UI/UX consulting focuses primarily upon the design and usability user interfaces. It could involve redesigning existing interfaces or creating new ones. UI/UX consultants often have backgrounds in computer science, graphic designing, or user experience design. They can offer excellent advice about how to make mobile and web applications more attractive to users.
UI/UX design requires a lot of empathy from the practitioner. The ultimate goal is to provide an intuitive user experience. The work is a mixture technology and art.
Marketing consultants
Marketing consultants play a key role in the development of better products and services for their clients.

Any marketing effort, including production and R&D efforts, will be in vain if there is not strong market demand. Marketing consulting firms are focused on increasing market demand and customer engagement. These consultants are efficient and deliver guaranteed results.
Some consultants take on the role of a big boss. They are like a big boss and make top-level decisions for clients. However, this type of marketing consulting is not for every business. This type of marketing consulting requires trust and may exclude the client from the decision-making process.

How To
How do you find the best consultant?
The first thing to do when looking for a new consultant is to ask yourself what you want from him/her. Before you begin searching for a consultant to help you, you should be clear on your expectations. A list of what you expect from a consultant is helpful. These could include professional expertise, technical skills and project management abilities, communication skills, availability, and other things. After you have outlined your requirements, you might want to ask friends and colleagues for recommendations. Ask them what their experience with consultants was like and how they compare to yours. You can also do some online research if you don't know of any. You can post reviews on your previous work experiences on many websites like LinkedIn, Facebook and Angie's List. You can use the comments and ratings left by others to help you find potential candidates. Once you have a short list of candidates, contact them to arrange an interview. At the interview, it is important to discuss your requirements and get their feedback on how they can help. It doesn't really matter if they were recommended; as long as they understand your business objectives, they will be able to show how they could help you achieve them.
