The stories of business owners inspire me- I love to learn about the passion behind your plan, and how you came to create such a valuable, unique product or service. My specialty is helping business owners communicate that passion and uniqueness through authentic, one of a kind brands- something your target market will instantly recognize and understand as perfectly suited for them.
No smoke and mirrors here- Authentic Marketing means communicating who you are as a business to the people you serve in an inspired and meaningful way.
I am an Instructor of Essentials of Marketing, Fundamentals of Branding , and Effective Public Speaking at BCIT’s School of Business. I also blog and create workshops about all things marketing at Today’s Workshop, a project I co-founded in 2011.
My approach combines the fundamentals of marketing with sharp instincts for communications strategy. I love the creativity involved in finding the perfect combination of words and images that will convey your story instantly, in a professional, original brand identity.
Living on the edge of Stanley Park and working in the vibrant yet relaxed city of Vancouver, I am always inspired! I love running around the misty seawall, hiking through our evergreen forests and trekking across our increasingly stylish downtown. It’s the best combination of natural and urban environments. So lucky to live here and be part of this exciting business community!
