You know the true value you bring to customers, partners and even employees.
But when you explain it – on your website, intranet, email or in person – you can tell it’s not fully understood or appreciated.
Your clients have a hard time distinguishing you from your competitors.
The problem isn’t your value proposition, you know what you offer and stand for. It’s possible you’re not explaining it in a compelling way that your stakeholders can relate to.
You might need a content marketing strategy and that's where I come in.
Your profile on social media is sporadic and your competitors are getting more attention than you are
You can’t find writers who deliver quality content
You're using a stale, outdated PowerPoint template
Your website needs a refresh
You're doing random acts of marketing without a strategic content plan
Your employees are not getting the news, information and accolades they deserve.
You're ready for a higher profile on social media
You want your marketing materials to be relevant and interesting to your audience
You want those marketing materials to have high-quality design
You have a loyal and expanding customer base - and you want to amplify what you're saying to a broader audience.
Maybe your current brand doesn't feel intentional, it seems outdated and wasn't created with your values in mind.
I've been there and I can help.
Through strong writing and design, I help conscious business owners like you present your story in an attractive, compelling way that reflects your core mission and values.

Communicate your value in a way that lifts you from the competition

Productive and meaningful communications with staff
My best clients are small organizations who pride themselves on having an inclusive, dynamic culture. You’re focussed on growing your business, your reputation and your expertise in the marketplace.
My background is in healthcare communications: hospitals, healthcare insurance, long term care, medical equipment and medication safety.
My goal in working with clients is to create communications and marketing plans you can put into practice right away and that lead to measurable results. (you're adding in marketing). I work with you to craft the narrative and then I write the content, find the best channels, and highlight the unique strengths of your employees.
