Does your marketing
feel scattered?

You are doing the work. The pieces just are not connected yet.

I help your brand, website and content say the same thing.

You work with one person who knows your mission, start to finish.

Does this sound familiar?

  1. You: Hi Lionel. Quick question, or maybe not so quick.

  2. Lionel: Go for it.

  3. You: I keep meaning to post, and then the week is gone.

  4. You: And when I do post, it does not look like our website. Or our flyers.

  5. Lionel: What feels off when you see them side by side?

  6. You: Nothing is wrong exactly. Everyone on the team makes their own graphics, and none of them quite match.

  7. Lionel: So the pieces have stopped matching.

  8. Lionel: You do not need a rebrand. You need one shared source your whole team can pull from.

  9. You: That would help. And the posting?

  10. Lionel: We plan a month at a time. Then it is not a weekly decision. (You loved this.)

  11. You: Honestly, people get excited when we talk. Then they visit the website and go quiet.

  12. Lionel: Then the website needs to finish the conversation you started.

  13. You: Marketing help sounds nice. I just cannot see how it gets us closer to our goals.

  14. Lionel: Fair. We start with your goals. If I cannot move them, I will tell you.

How I think about the work.

A few things
you might ask.

Have something else in mind? Bring it to the conversation.

Where should I start?

You do not need to arrive with a finished brief. Tell me what you are trying to do and what feels out of step. We can work out which service, or combination, makes sense.

Can you work with my existing brand?

Yes. We can start with what you already have and decide what needs to stay, change, or become more consistent.

How much does a project cost?

Every service page lists its starting price. Once I understand what you need, I send a short video that walks through the work, the deliverables, and your exact price before you commit.

Who will I be working with?

You work directly with me, from your first priorities to the final decisions. I run a one-person practice, so the person who learns your business is the person doing the work.

What will you need from me?

Your goals, existing materials, and time for decisions and feedback. The exact preparation and review points depend on the project.

Can we keep working together after launch?

Ongoing support can be part of the plan. We will agree on what is included and whether a marketing retainer fits your needs.
