Layer in my award-winning graphic design and marketing experience, and I can assist you in getting your refined product and service story out to your market with flair.

empowering creativity

I have often heard the expression "I am not creative" or " I can't even draw a stickman." Everyone is creative; the power of expressing creativity may be a challenge.

In my experience, drawing out the creativity of an individual or group is where extraordinary ideas are generated. Organizations, communities and entrepreneurs should build a brand or streamline a concise strategy to move an idea, product, service or campaign forward with buy-in by better connecting with customers.

Elements

the elements of storytelling

Storytelling is an art. It needs to connect with your stakeholders and be believable and, at the very least, relate to the standard and shared values of your customer, employee, and other stakeholders that you identify.

It needs to be memorable, concise, and consistent throughout your messaging.

Finally, promoting that story becomes much more manageable with a message that is refined, and visually designed!

1. Exploring

What's your purpose? What's your 'why'?

2. Crafting

What's your story? How is your business changing the world?

3. Refining

Kill the jargon in your story. Speak in a voice all your stakeholders can understand. How do your mission, purpose and values apply within your landscape? Be concise!

4. Sharing

Once your story is refined, test your elevator pitch, and make sure it's interesting. Think of the campfire story; is it easy to visualize, remember, and engage? Every marketing piece needs to grab like a memorable campfire story.

Services

It can be done here if you are looking at any aspect of developing your story tell. Consider award-winning graphic design, brand development and facilitation, marketing, and product and service strategies that will work for your organization. The goal is to develop 'your' brand and business strategies told by 'you.' Your business is your story and not a facilitator's. A facilitator is simply a guide. The best way for brand and strategic plans is that they are achievable by your organization and have buy-in from within.
