Sure, Momentum Branding might carry one person's name, but it’s bigger than this. With 15 years of experience spanning for-profits and non-profits, I work alongside a network of niche marketing pros, designers, artists, and writers. We’re united by one belief: storytelling is what moves businesses and projects forward—and we’re here to make it work for you.

HOW IT WORKS
We kick things off with a free 30-minute call to uncover your needs, dreams, and big ideas. By the end, you’ll walk away with a tailored proposal that outlines exactly how we’ll make your vision happen.
DISCUSS YOUR GOALS (you are here)
Time to get everyone on the same page. In a hands-on workshop, we’ll dig into your goals and craft a unified narrative. Too many cooks in the kitchen? Not here. Together, we’ll create one bold, cohesive story that speaks volumes.
ALIGN AND CRAFT TOGETHER
Whether it’s a brand identity, a communication campaign, or something in between, after the workshop, I’ll prepare a final concept that’s ready to shine.
SHAPE THE CONCEPT
From grand ideas to nitty-gritty details, we’ll handle the execution like clockwork. All you have to do is watch your vision come to life.
Once everything’s in place, I’ll hand over the keys to your shiny new project. Need to get the team up to speed? I've got you covered with training sessions (like brand identity bootcamps) so you can take it from here with confidence.
