What is your customer’s story? This is where I begin before connecting the puzzle pieces of positioning, messaging and channels to reach your customer. I want to understand the persona of your customers, their challenges, and the competitive marketplace to effectively market your product.

Make your customer the hero of your stories.
— Ann Handley

I do more than help companies market products for revenue. I build customer relationships through messaging.

What Drives Me

My passion is the “how.”  I love connecting the pieces to bring a product into market such as:

  • How do your customers think?

  • How does your product solve their problems?

  • How can we reach your market?

  • How is your competition doing this?

(And then, yes,…how is all this going to get done?)
