Your purpose drives your brand story. When your messaging reflects why you exist, what you stand for, and addresses your audience’s needs, every story becomes meaningful. It builds connection, inspires action, and guides your business forward with clarity and focus.
Not connecting your story to your purpose? Let’s fix that.

People don’t buy what you do, they buy why you do it. - Simon Sinek

People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. - Maya Angelou
What is your purpose? It can get buried after years of doing something, but I haven’t met a business owner yet who didn’t have a story to tell that went beyond their products or services.
As the graphics above illustrate, the Why and How sections of Simon Sinek's "Golden Circle" relate to the part of our brains responsible for behavior and decision-making and for our feelings, like trust and loyalty. The What section relates to the part of our brains responsible for rational and analytic thought.
Most of us don’t make purchasing decisions based on rational and analytic thought alone.
A brand strategy provides clarity—so your team knows what to say, who to say it to, and why it matters.
I start by getting to know you: your business drivers, industry, and competitive landscape. From there, we define your brand core—purpose, mission, vision, and values— develop clear messaging and storytelling strategies that resonate with your target audience, and pull the pieces together to ensure your message is aligned across platforms – from PR and partnerships to digital media – and reaching the right audience at the right time.
The result: a clearer brand story, stronger audience connection, and a strategic framework that guides decisions and aligns your team going forward.

Karie was able to meet us where we were (many initiatives started for messaging, however none of them were done) and helped us get clear on how the world sees us, what our primary selling points are, who our ideal clients are, and all with a calm and supportive way of working. She's a delightful person, as professional as it gets, and her work was amazing. I highly recommend Karie for anyone looking to improve their company's messaging and increase sales.

When I hired Karie to help me revamp my very outdated website, I had no idea that I would walk away with an overall new communication strategy for my business. Karie started by doing a high-level assessment of my communications across platforms and gave me succinct feedback on ways I could better reach my ideal clients.
Karie helped me hone my messaging by first supporting me to clarify my niche and precisely who my ideal client is. From there, she created a map to succinctly tell my story and share my offerings. Her strategic advice has not only improved my client interactions but also saved me time and money.
I loved working with Karie. She is knowledgeable and super easy to work with. And…I love my new website.
