About
Honor, energy, and integrity.
North Star Synergies provides proven sales, marketing, and management strategies, services, and networks to America's new home industry and beyond — from Denver, since 1983.
Over four decades we kept seeing the same thing. A good housing product would stall, and everyone involved would look at the part of the chain in front of them. Marketing looked at the sales floor. Sales looked at the leads. Ownership looked at the market.
We built this firm to look at all of it at once — the product, how it's positioned, how leads come in, how they get converted, and whether management can hold the whole thing together. That's why most of our engagements draw on several of our service areas at the same time.
We serve clients locally throughout Colorado and the Denver Metro Area, nationally throughout the United States, and internationally.
The people
S. Robert August founded the firm and is its president. Business development strategist Jason August also works with clients on positioning a business for changing market conditions — the subject of his appearance on the Selling More Homes podcast.
Green Homes Builders, which operates green residential construction across Australia, New Zealand and the United States, credits both of them with steering its US expansion — you can watch that testimonial in full.

Common questions
- When was North Star Synergies founded?
- North Star Synergies, Inc. took its current form in April 2011. Robert had led S. Robert August & Co., Inc. for the 28 years before that, and the practice runs continuously back to 1983 — more than four decades of consulting to this industry.
- What makes the firm different from a marketing agency?
- An agency delivers you a piece of work. We look at the whole chain — the product, how it's positioned, how leads get generated, how they get converted, and whether management can hold it together. It's all connected, so we'd rather look at all of it.
- How long has the firm been doing this?
- Since 1983 — more than four decades, continuously. We took the name North Star Synergies in 2011. We've advised through the boom of the late eighties, the corrections of the nineties, 2008, and every market since.
