Helping businesses—and the people who build them—tell powerful stories.

Stories help an audience get to know you. Care about you. Trust you.

Trust is central to building loyalty, advocacy, and, ultimately, a business’s bottom line.

People are inundated with information and searching for organizations that share their values. But amidst all the noise, it can be hard for brands and business leaders to be heard.

That’s where I can help.

I collaborate with brands and executives on messaging, communication and content strategies proven to resonate with key audiences and drive meaningful results.

 

Meet Monica

 

An experienced marketing communications consultant and copywriter, I help brands, marketers and business leaders hone their voice and share their stories with the audiences that matter most.

 

I craft stories that reach the right people at the right place at the right time. While the content and distribution strategies vary, the goal is often the same: Compel people to take an action that creates value for an organization.

For over a decade, I honed my skills in strategic planning and account management roles at leading marketing communications agencies in Chicago, working on brands like SUBWAY, ConAgra, Frito-Lay and Hershey's.

Now, as an independent consultant, I partner with growth-minded businesses and startups serving as an extension of their teams and providing communications support that delivers on organizational objectives.
