How We Work
When you work with us, you can expect breakthroughs in what you get done. We specialize in getting ideas out of your head and into the world.
Determining if we are a good match is important, since we will be working closely with each other. We start by assessing where you are now and where you want to be. I want our experience to be positive and productive, for all concerned. Sometimes that means saying "no" to a potential customer or referring them to provider.
We collaborate with you to create powerful, clear and compelling marketing messages and the visual designs that supports them.
We help you tell your story, verbally and visually. We choose words that clarify, are easy to understand and remember. Only when we are clear on your audience and your message, do we begin to explore graphic design to complement and enhance your marketing message.
Why Stories?
Stories are a powerful form of communication. The most memorable stories combine words, emotions and pictures. They tell who, what, where, when and why. Stories can be spoken or seen. Storytelling is a universal way to pass on information. Storytelling exists in all cultures.
Words paired with Images are more powerful
Once you have gotten the attention of your of your prospects, you want them to know you and remember you. That's where a solid, well designed logo and collateral materials can boost your visibility and keep you in the mind of your market.
Are some of these statements true for you?
"I just started my consulting business. How do I get my first clients?
"I have always gotten most of my business through word of mouth. In today's tight economy, my referrals seem to be drying up. What do I do now to get the word out about my services?"
"I am new in business and need a logo, business cards and a web site."
"I have a lot of great ideas. I start lots of projects but don't complete most of them. I need someone to help me get focused and stay on track."
"I just moved here and need to get established in the community. What are the best ways for me to get traction fast?"
"I hate marketing and I'm just not good at it. I feel like my work should speak for itself."
"I have a hard time explaining what I do. My marketing message is a mess."
