Hi, I’m Brittany.
Strategist, Clarity Stickler,
and Marketing Minimalist
Minimalist Marketing Strategist
I believe most businesses need less marketing, done better. Over the past decade, I’ve helped over 100 businesses find clarity and growth by focusing on what actually works. I love learning about how you impact your clients — and helping you expand that impact (without all the noise).

Simple marketing requires deep work.
Like a professional curator, I do the complex work behind the scenes — but your marketing emerges clean and clear.
I value:
Depth That Creates Clarity
I take time to understand everything before simplifying anything. No shortcuts or quick fixes — just careful consideration that leads to clear direction.
Quality Over Quantity
Instead of tracking every metric and chasing every channel, we focus on finding the few right things that work for your business. Then we make them work better.
Sophisticated Simplicity
We don’t achieve simplicity by cutting corners or dumbing things down. Instead, we create clarity through careful curation — keeping only what serves your goals.
Alignment Over Buzz
We don’t chase marketing trends. Instead, we focus on what fits naturally into your business and what you’ll actually maintain — marketing that becomes part of how you work (not another task on your list).
“She helped me and my business level up.”
If I were a doctor, I couldn’t perform surgery on myself. Obviously. But, I have a hunch, it would be really hard to find another doctor I would trust handing that scalpel over to.
That’s how I felt when I was ready to perform surgery on my website.
I’m really good at what I do. I have been helping organizations with high-stakes communications and messaging with various audiences for over 30 years. And, since I couldn’t find someone I trusted with the scalpel, I hobbled along for too many years and didn’t give my own content and web site the attention needed.
My site was OK. The content was fine – but it wasn’t focused. It made sense to me – but not so much for my audience. It was easy to read, but didn’t provide a clear path to what problems I solve for my clients. So it sat there. It didn’t work for my business. It didn’t generate leads.
And, then, I decided to hire a brand strategist — Brittany.
She got to know me, the work I do, the work I don’t do, and the goals I have for my business and team. She was creative, strategic, responsive, intelligent, and collaborative.
She captured my voice and found ways to articulate things I’d been trying to say for years. She brainstormed business approaches, clarified my workflow, and essentially built my whole site on paper.
I’d hand her the scalpel for content surgery all day, every day.

The Three Levers of Minimalist Marketing
Positioning
This is where clarity starts. Before any marketing activities begin, we get crystal clear on who you’re talking to and how you’ll show up for them.
Presence
The spaces you create matter. Whether someone connects with you through your website, social media, or in person, that experience should feel intentional and reflect your true value.
Pathways
Instead of trying to be everywhere, we build meaningful ways for the right people to find you, connect with you, and stay with you over time.
Fun Facts
I have a degree in Music Composition.
I loved how the theory can turn into a beautiful experience. Today, I enjoy using the art and science of communication to create better client experiences.
I’ve worked in a variety of professional settings.
Each role shaped my approach to strategic simplicity:
→ Overseeing client experience at a non-profit
→ Managing software product development
→ Leading digital projects at an ad agency
→ Directing marketing campaigns in-house
I like to declutter large messes.
The biggest website I worked on started at 10,000 (yes, 10k!) pages. As digital brand strategist, I helped cut it down through agile phases — drawing on my experience in product development.
I’m a wife and mom of three.
When I’m not working on marketing projects, we’re probably cuddling up on the couch to watch Bluey. Or I’m trying to convince my preschoolers that bedtime is not a medieval torture tactic.
Messy Minimalist Musings is my side/passion project.
It’s an email list where I share my attempts to focus on what’s essential (despite maximalist tendencies!). Join me there to hear more.
