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…

Time & again, bbcreative has always been a great resource for us, offering authentic creative + visionary design support with very quick turn-around.

We’ve been able to present our clients a broader array of design options across a variety of retail brand applications because of their broad in-house capabilities plus their ability to read between the lines.

Joe Bona

President of Retail, CBX Coleman Worldwide Partnership

We’ve leveraged bbcreative for many of our projects across a variety of applications…from helping us develop a corporate ID signage system for a regional financial client to an animated bumper for a entrepreneurial film production company. As a smaller graphic identity firm, bbcreative is the perfect partner for supporting us in bringing value add to our clients.

Principal, Kass Uehling

In regard to the store within a store that bbcreative developed for us, we have been very pleased with the design, from both a visual and functional point of view.  The bold design offers the customer a quick, at-a glance understanding of the extent of the wireless offering, while also being a very effective demonstration tool for our sales representatives.
