I AM A STORY STRATEGIST
I AM A
STORY STRATEGIST
NOTHING derails business momentum faster than a lack of clarity in your purpose, your messaging, your story. Let me draw on my communications degree, my passion for storytelling, and my marketing knowledge to find the stories your business should be telling to create BIG IMPACT.
I could just cry so many tears of joy and relief. You helped me take my story that mattered and made it universally relevant. Your process to refocus and reframe one's story as a rainbow customers can follow to a pot of gold is brilliant. I was a journalist for 20 years before moving to PR and this kind of writing process stands above the rest.…
... Of course, the person has to be willing to dig REAL deep to do this right. But when they do, MAN!
- PENELOPE, COURSE CREATOR
I was totally blown away. I have a brand story that is “so me,” which is the entire point but way beyond that, figuring out your brand identity creates massive clarity about who you are, how others perceive you, the value you naturally bring to the world and with that comes a quantifiable boost to your confidence….
... It’s powerful stuff and I highly recommend working with Shannon.
- STIRLING, STACKT DIGITAL
For years, my brand identity and my story have always felt very messy and hard to articulate....Shannon married individual exercises with community brilliantly so that in a short period of time, our group came together as a unit to support one another with feedback while Shannon came alongside to make sure we made it across the finish line with something that we could immediately put to work.....
... Deciding to work with Shannon is easily one of the top 3 business investment decisions I've made this year.

My Story
A few years ago, I went on a journey to RECLAIM my identity.
I’d lost my vision, my fire, somewhere along the way through life. All the possibilities felt crumpled up inside me and I was stuck in a narrative that would NOT get me where I wanted to go.
I needed to create a new Story.
So I picked up my camera and started a photography business where my purpose was to truly SEE people. See businesses and their hopes, dreams, and vision.
But the strength and impact of entrepreneurs doesn’t come from what they look like - it's rooted in who they are and the STORIES they created through life.
So I resurrected my communications degree, studied marketing in depth, and created a repeatable system for creating POWERFUL brand stories that will create consistency throughout all business messaging.
