brand strategy
Long fascinated by how the power of storytelling and design, plus more recently technology, can influence behavior, Ann has pursued her passion in exploiting this intersection to consult on truly unique & unprecedented marketplace entrants.
Layering segment insights, analytics informing audience behavior & the user/consumer journey, competitor context & trends, she directs multi-discipline teams toward shaping these inputs into achieving results driven business goals through their brand –with a focus on discovery, culture, innovation and transparency.
Ann’s expertise comes from depth of experience as primary liaison between the analysis and planning practices vs. in-house creative studios at worldclass consultancies such as Lippincott, CBX Worldwide and Gensler. More recently she has turned her efforts toward supporting innovation driven entrepreneurs to achieve traction with break out offerings, by helping them develop their Why? into more ‘consumer as co-author’ experiences both on and offline.
Our Clients say…
