I STARTED WAE HOLDINGS BECAUSE I KEPT MEETING BRILLIANT FOUNDERS WHO WERE BUILDING SOMETHING REAL BUT STRUGGLING TO TELL THEIR STORY IN A WAY THAT ACTUALLY MOVED THE NEEDLE.
I’VE BEEN IN THE TRENCHES. I BUILT AND SOLD A MARKETING AGENCY, RAISED $2M FOR A RESTAURANT CONCEPT, AND CREATED A RETREAT SERIES THAT BRINGS TOGETHER 30 OF THE MOST DRIVEN FEMALE FOUNDERS IN THE COUNTRY. I KNOW WHAT IT TAKES TO GROW A BRAND FROM IDEA TO TRACTION.
IF YOU’RE READY TO STOP GUESSING AND START BUILDING WITH INTENTION, LET’S WORK TOGETHER.
HOW WE WORK
READY TO WORK? HERE’S HOW WE DO IT.
-
I've spent over a decade sitting across the table from founders at every stage. What I've learned is that the best brand strategy does not come from a template. It comes from truly understanding the person behind the business.
Every engagement starts with a deep dive. Just you and me. We get into the details of your brand, your goals, your audience, and where the gaps are. From there I build a strategy that is specific to you, not recycled from the last client.
This is what separates working with someone who has actually built things from hiring an agency that runs your brand through a system.
-
Every client gets a customized game plan built around their specific business. No two strategies look the same because no two brands are the same.
We take a 360 degree approach that looks at every layer of your brand and identifies where the biggest opportunities are. Depending on where you are and where you want to go, your strategy can touch any combination of the following:
Marketing: how you position your brand, tell your story, and reach the right audience at the right time.
Social Media: building a content strategy that grows your presence and converts followers into customers.
Experiential: creating moments and activations that bring your brand to life and build real community around it.
Partnerships: identifying and securing the right brand partnerships, collaborations, and sponsorships to amplify your reach and open new revenue streams.
We start with the deep dive, build the game plan, and then get to work.
-
This is for founders who are serious about what they are building and ready to invest in getting there faster. I work with a small, intentional roster of female founders and brands so every client gets my full attention.
My sweet spot is working with brands that are already seeing traction, typically in the $2M to $15M revenue range, and are ready to scale with a more intentional strategy behind them. You have proven the concept. Now it is time to build the brand around it.
-
Book a discovery call and we will talk through where you are, where you want to go, and whether we are the right fit. Spots are limited.
