BE HEARD
Great storytelling demands clarity and consistency.
Easier said than done, particularly in the midst of running a business and its accompanying pressures and stressors.
I bring the external perspective required to transform uncertain and scattered to streamlined and simple. You get my focus, experience and strategy, minus any agency nonsense. A grown-up communications pro solely concerned with helping your brand and business.
Here’s how…
DEFINE YOUR STORY
If the elevator has hit the bottom floor and you’re still talking, your brand pitch isn’t ready. I help craft, develop and refine brand stories that mean something to real people.
IDENTIFYING
& PRIORITIZING AUDIENCES
Brands for everyone, exist for nobody. The adage applies to selling and brand storytelling. I partner with you to break down key stakeholders before helping with the what, where and when.
CRAFTING KEY MESSAGES
I obsess about why your brand exists and how it fulfills a human need. Then, I apply that reason for being to what it is your brand provides and why people should care.
CONNECTING WITH CREATIVE
“PR creative” is different than a clever ad or a beautiful piece of content. I conceptualize communications platforms and concepts that connect to consumers, drive earned media and elevate your business.
BRAND EXPERIENCE
I’ve been privileged to work with many of the greatest brands and businesses on the planet, as well as innovative startups at various stages in their lifecycle. The diverse experience across industries, coupled with agency experience and independent consultant agility, contributes to a consumer marketing perspective that is difficult to replicate.
AWARDS & RECOGNITION
Award-winning? Who cares? The only reason it matters to you is that I’ve done it before and with success. Click below for organizations and publications who’ve been kind enough to recognize and publish previous work.
