Become Extraordinary

I will make you, your product or service look and sound good to attract customers, compel them to engage, and inspire their loyalty.

I can start from ground zero if you are introducing something new. I can jumpstart an initiative that’s been idle awhile. Or I can repair a brand that’s flawed, outdated or simply not working. Of course, I am relying on you to hold up your end of the bargain and deliver excellence in what you offer.

I ask questions to help identify what you want and need. I get to know you, your product/service, your way of doing business. I pick your brain for information, motives and goals. I assure you, we’ll make new discoveries together.

I listen because every detail you share matters. I like to talk, but I like just as much to listen. I get clues to your business approach by paying close attention to the words you choose, your inflection, your confidence (or lack thereof) and stories you share. Strong intuition and a couple decades of experience enable me to identify fairly quickly where I can offer insight or make improvements.

I assess so we can prioritize and make a smart plan for best results.
I collect and evaluate as much collateral as you can provide me (so long as I don’t need a warehouse to contain it). I watch for image choices, messaging, quality, consistency, tone of voice, etc. I can stop there and make recommendations to a designer of your choice. Or I can provide services to keep a successful effort alive or resuscitate one that’s failing.

I design so I can transform your ideas into visuals that stand taller than your competition. For over 20 years, I have written, designed and distributed marketing materials. Sometimes I start with nothing but an idea. Other times, I  correct materials that need repair. In either case, I make whatever it is you need to say look and sound good, or fix it to make it look and sound better so your clients perceive you in a positive light.

I write because the right words make or break. Oh the power of words! I’ve seen many a design piece look great only to read on and find sleepy language, grammar errors and typos. I love words…their power, their nuances, their richness. I will find the right ones that speak best on your behalf.

I coach because your personality and working style are part of our collaboration. As a certified life coach, licensed New Life Story Coach® and DiSC consultant, I am trained to help you capitalize upon your strengths, manage weaknesses, plan strategically to achieve your goals, and bypass obstacles that may be in your way.

I collaborate because it DOES take a village. I work with you to identify and put into action whatever steps are necessary to help you become an indispensable resource to the clients you serve.

I crack jokes when the time is right. All work and no play…. Sometimes, a little humor makes tough deadlines a little less oppressive.

I remain accessible so you can ask questions whenever. My goal is to educate you about how to preserve your marketing initiatives as you move ahead in business. However, once a project ends, you are free to call/email me to ask questions to be sure you are on track.

Bonus information… I’m a nut about grammar and usage. I’m a straight shooter but always diplomatic. I like to make the workday as pleasant as possible. I will not leave for a faraway trip and take your website password with me. (Yes, I know of more than one person who’s had this happen.)
