Become memorable.

Services
Translate your big idea into approachable content that people resonate with and remember.
You don’t have a product problem. If you’re struggling to stand out, articulate a unique offering, and capture attention, you have a content problem. Your content is missing personality and a story.
By getting clear on what that story is (along with all the ways and places you can tell it) you can:
Resonate with the right buyers,
Make less content while mattering more to your ideal customer,
Maintain the loyalty of current customers while building trust with new ones, and
Build a good reputation so your marketing can work harder for you.

Build authority—authentically.
It's hard to show up online in a way that feels good and stays true to yourself. But, it's not impossible.
By sharing your expertise through your lived experiences you can become a thought leader that talks to your ideal audience—not at them.
You have everything you need. I simply help you uncover it and organize it so that your ideal customer can find you and decides to stick around to hear more. -
Get noticed and be loved.
You know you have a great new product or service. But, do you have a great story to tell about it?

And unless you love wasting time and money, don't even think about creating content without having a compelling narrative to back it up.If you want to quickly scale your audience, connect with ideal buyers, establish trust, and secures brand loyalty, let's start with your story.

Hey! I’m Renee.
(Yes, it rhymes.)
I've told a lot of stories…(true stories)
As a former business journalist, it was my job to highlight passionate startup founders and small business owners making waves and changing lives in their little corners of the world.
The most useful skill I learned? How to spot a good story.
You see, I’m really good at listening to people talk. And it’s because I believe that everybody has something interesting to say.
But the problem I see everywhere in business is people struggle to figure out their one good story—and ongoing supporting narrative—that sets them apart.
Without a strong story, your business can struggle to connect with buyers on an emotional level, which is how buyers make decisions.
Selling through storytelling isn’t just about getting people to buy something—it’s about getting them to believe in something.
When you tell your story well?
Your ideal buyer will not only understand that you can solve their problem, they’ll feel affinity to your brand and the values you stand for. They’ll want to take part in your cause and your mission.
But telling your story in a way that captures attention and keeps your ideal audience engaged is hard.
This is where I come in.
I’ve taken my knack for spotting and telling compelling business stories and created a signature process to help you tell your brand story so that you can become the obvious choice for your ideal customer.
Like any good marketing play, storytelling requires clarity and strategy. So that’s where we get started.
If you’re ready to create marketing that matters and build a brand people truly love, let’s chat. I can’t wait to hear what you’re up to and give you all my best ideas.
Let’s chat process.
You have a vision and a budding brand. Let’s attract the attention you deserve by uncovering your best stories.

Get Clear On Your Goals
First, let’s figure out your content goals—from your website to your social channels. I want to hear your story and get clarity on what you want and what you value, as well as what you want your content to do for your business. Are you looking to grow an audience? Become a beloved thought leader? Improve your reach and engagement? Resonate deeper? All the above?

We Get to Work
Next, we take a deep dive. Depending on your goals and where you are in your marketing, I’ll lead you (or your team) through a series of workshops and frameworks to define your greater brand narrative and story pillars. We’ll identify what marketing channels we should focus on to tell your story, and craft a strategy that makes it simple and easy to create (and repurpose) regularly impactful content.
three
Strategy & System
I’ll present you with a sustainable strategy and build systems to help you see the strategy through. I can train you or your team on how to implement it and keep your powerful content machine going, or set you up with my network of freelancers to create the content for you. (For startups this can include implementing brand voice & personality.)
