K. Beth Woolley, Principal
Helps organizations fulfill their business ambitions through brand strategy and communications that reach and engage. I have a knack for getting to the heart of things and quickly figuring out the best path forward. My mission is to make companies sound as smart as they really are so they impress the heck out of the right people.
Lessons zealously applied
- If you want people to listen and hear you—meet them where they are. Anything short of facing your audience on their terms is wasted breath.
- Give people sufficient, meaningful motivation + an easy path and they will take action.
- Want to be known for something? Reinforce who you are in every communication.
- Start with a clear brand promise and 1-3 are much easier!
