THE RIGHT WORDS. THE RIGHT TIME. THE RIGHT PLACE.

Whether you’re looking to define your image or want to spread the word about your work, I can be of help. Big or small budgets, big or small goals, I offer cost-conscious strategic counsel and hands-on assistance.

RIGHT WORDS

SERVICES

CONSULTATION

Need ideas, resources, directions? I’ve got ‘em in spades. Need a confidence booster for meetings, media appearances, and networking? Get clear and comfortable talking about yourself and your passion with media training.

WORDS

Stories, interviews, listicles, press releases, bios, corporate histories, discographies, scripts, blogs, emails, liner notes, project summaries, taglines, ad copy, hype, web text, social posts – I’m your personal wordsmith.

BRANDING + IMAGING

Who are you, where do you stand, what do you bring to the table? These are the most important questions to your audience. Let’s clarify an identity and infuse your visual and audio brand into any campaign.

AUDITING

I'll give a critical eye to your existing service, product, site, or materials. With a thorough quality check, you can be assured your strengths are highlighted, mistakes and missteps disappear, and thoughtful suggestions are made.

MEDIA RELATIONS

PR can help your business avoid the ER. I know the right people and how to approach them to achieve visibility. My approach is friendly, earnest and creative, and reaches highly-targeted print, broadcast, and digital media.

MARKETING + PROMOTION

I work outside the lines to develop marketing campaigns, strategize advertising campaigns, run contests, find like-minded partners to share audience, and more.

SOCIAL + CONNECTING

Your online presence is often the first impression, so let’s make it great! I design and enmesh your website and social platforms, then create usage plans that build, engage, and retain audience.

 

EVENTS

Book tours, concerts, fundraisers, opening nights, launch/listening parties, fashion shows, wine tastings—public and private—I’ll make sure it’s perfect, it’s fun, and it’s attended.
