As a leader in your industry, you know at some point you will need to up your marketing game.
If you’re like most of my clients, you’re already committed to excellence in your field, and have become a leader in your industry. You’re committed to doing good work—and seeing results. You’re not just looking for business success, you also want to connect with those who can really be helped by your product or service, with more freedom to focus on building long-lasting success without having to wear every hat in the company. And that really matters. Focusing on your strengths improves the lives of everyone around you. Your team enjoys a more productive, exciting and profitable environment. Plus you have the energy, creativity, and stamina you need to be your best at work and at home.
But there are things in the way, right?
Most of the time it is a waste time and money trying to juggle the load on your own. Adding a new brochure, or changing the look of a website won't solve your businesses growth or customer connections. Maybe your customers don't understand how hard you work, and maybe you're not attracting the ones you need or the ones you can serve best. You think of upping your marketing game by starting an instagram account, or maybe a new brochure, or maybe a website. Which one is most important? Where do your customers hang out? How do you know which to start with and how to best connect with your customers in a way that resonates? The sense that you’re shortchanging one priority to serve another never ends. You feel like a juggler with fifteen balls in the air and, too often, important ones—like promoting your work and understanding the unique needs of your core customer—get dropped. Sound familiar?

We think first, create second. We help companies brand communications by identifying their purpose and communicating it clearly to their customers. We delve into your business problems by using a cross-disciplinary approach that merges business, technology, psychology, and design thinking to identify issues, bring clarity, and lay a foundation that allows us to create a roadmap of solutions. A solid vision creates design that resonates, crafting Brands that last–created with purpose, and that have room to grow and evole. We grow businesses by connecting them to people through thoughtful, honest, and purposeful communication. After all, people don't fall in love with businesses, they fall in love with personalities.

It is so satisfying to know I truly did good work for a someone and because of it, their job become a little lighter because they are now free to focus on their strengths.
Discovering the beautiful story each person has to tell and finding a way to communicate it in an authentic way is what drives me.

Kim - PUBLIC RELATIONS, CREATIVE ASSISTANT
My passion is for people and the written word. I love unique personalities and helping people figure out what it is they are looking for when it comes to their business look and advertising. Words are very important to me. They can build a person up or bring them down and there is nothing I love more than building a person or business up through the right wording and look!
I have enjoyed spending most of my career in non-profit PR and print, event coordination and office management and now have enjoyed even greater passion for design with Talia Creative.
I seek to share my skills with words, organization and connecting with people to drive ideas forward into action, improve client relationships and deliver high-impact, imaginative solutions.
