Clarify your message, reach more people, and do more good in the world.
Need to find the right words so you can elevate or evolve your brand?
I can help.
I’m a longtime brand strategist and marketing communications consultant, as well as an award-winning writer and storyteller.
When I work with you as a strategic consultant, I have two very clear goals:
1) identify and articulate how your offerings and organization deliver value and stand out from the crowd, and
2) give you customized support so you communicate more powerfully and effectively with your audience.
When you know the core messages inside your brand (including your key results and main points of difference), you get a roadmap of the ideas you need to convey to reach the people you most want to serve.
That’s how you connect with more people who need what you offer and increase the impact that truly matters to you.
When we work together, I can help you:
- Take stock of your current brand and marketing messaging and identify the inconsistencies and gaps.
- Cross-reference your positioning against your competitors, and find new ways to make you stand out
- Interview or lead workshops with key stakeholders to collect inspired ideas that represent the true value of your brand, including your collective skills, talent, and points of view
- Consolidate a variety of internal perspectives into a clear and consistent value proposition
- Develop a high-level brand messaging map that lays out key concepts and phrases you can use in your marketing materials moving forward
- Translate industry jargon into accessible and customer friendly language
- Recommend strategic changes and structural edits to existing brand and marketing communications to increase effectiveness and pique interest among potential customers
- Advise and train in-house team members to communicate according to your brand messaging guidelines
- Provide recommendations for trusted professionals in copywriting, website, development, graphic design, and more.
