Marketing is hard when you're guessing
You have a strong product, but the message isn't clicking. Maybe internal teams are misaligned on the value proposition, or you’re about to launch a rebrand and can’t afford to get it wrong.
You don’t need more opinions or "creative brainstorming." You need certainty. I use a four-step framework to validate your positioning and build your story.
01. Discovery & Context
We start by defining business goals, market context, and internal assumptions. We look at where you are, where you want to be, and what is currently muddying your message.
02. Insight & Analysis
I combine deep-dive customer interviews with internal data analysis and market research to build a complete picture. I identify patterns, the language buyers use, and the motivations behind their decisions.
03. Story Development
I turn raw insight into a strategic narrative, including a messaging framework, buyer personas, and a brand story that aligns your sales, marketing, and product teams.
04. Handover & Enablement
Messaging shouldn't die in a PDF. I walk your team through the new messaging, providing you with plug-and-play assets (copy blocks, scripts, value props) you can use immediately.
Brands I've worked for and with
Turn your messaging into a competitive advantage
Great messaging isn’t just "nice to have." It’s a multiplier for every dollar you spend on marketing. When you stop guessing and start connecting, everything works harder.
Sales cycles shorten
Your sales team stops struggling to explain the product. They start having high-value conversations because the prospect "gets it" in the first 30 seconds.
Marketing moves faster
No more staring at a blank page or debating copy. You have a "Source of Truth" framework that makes writing ads, emails, and content effortless.
Internal alignment
Product, Sales, and Leadership finally align behind one clear story. The circular meetings about "who we are" stop, and execution begins.
Before working with Grace, we knew the importance of conducting thorough customer research, we just didn't have the internal experience or knowledge to do so.
When a client came to us asking for support in this area, Grace was the exact person we were looking for: Someone well-versed in the nuances of research, who brings professionalism, a keen eye for detail, and great communication skills to the project.
I'd 100% work with her again and if you're looking for support with customer research or marketing strategy, I suggest you do too!
