Your Website is the Heartbeat of Your Marketing.
As a small business owner, you know that sales & marketing are vital keys to success. But where do you begin?
Like your heart, a healthy, brand-smart website delivers fresh oxygen to your overall marketing “body.” If it’s working well, it also filters out stuff that isn’t beneficial to your business.
How Does Branding Bring You Business?
Your brand is the experience you offer your prospective and current customers. If you haven’t clearly defined WHO your audience is, WHAT your unique offering is, WHY your audience would want to listen to you, and HOW to find them, then your marketing has no direction. It’s a recipe for failure, and the reason why 30% of businesses fail within their first two years.

Then we’ll give your ideal cleint a unique personality so you’ll feel you’re talking to a real person whever you create content.
Your Value Proposition
WHY did you start your business? The purpose behind your brand is what will set you apart from your competition. A strong Value Proposition will help you become crystal clear about why prospective customers within your Target Audience will choose you.

The integrity of your Value Proposition is the foundation of your brand. It is your brand promise, and is something that must be scrupulously honest. For example, if you say you have “exceptional customer service,” it will have a false ring unless your customer service is truly exceptional.
With exercises using metrics and information on your Target Audience, we’ll help you formulate clear communication about your strengths to devise your unique Value Proposition.
Your Brand Voice
WHAT do you have to say? With a clear Brand Voice, your messaging will translate your Value Proposition into ideas and language that your Target Audience will relate to and engage with. We’ll create content that is distinct from your competitors while being absolutely authentic.
