What we do

Our business is creating big and positive impact for yours. With 25+ years in the business, we've earned our chops and use that expertise and experience to deliver quality content, results-getting consulting and transformational coaching to you.

Let's collaborate.

Content Marketing

Everybody needs quality content. We provide words and images for everyone from global brands to local start-ups so they can inform and educate, drive sales, build loyalty and trust, and boost performance. Let us help with one-off projects, campaigns or special initiatives.

Consulting

We advise brands, media companies and executives on solving complex content operations issues, improving individual and team performance and streamlining processes. We work in all industries with a focus on healthcare, media and financial services/insurance.

Coaching

If you want to become a more efficient, influential and effective communicator, and you want to have fun doing it, our founder, Margot Lester, is the coach you want in your corner. Learn strategies and techniques to be a better writer from the woman who literally co-wrote the book.

Training & Workshops

Our training recharges creative teams, upgrades employee skills, trains new hires and level-sets recently formed workgroups. We share proven and easy-to-implement strategies to increase output, drive engagement, create with empathy, elevate quality and accelerate cycle times. 

Speaking & Emceeing

I deliver perspectives, inspiration, how-to advice and operational insights in a high-energy engaging style. I can carry a solo presentation or keynote and contribute to panel discussions. I'm also an effective facilitator and emcee. Book me for your conference, webinar, panel or board meeting. 

Social Good

 Mobilizing supporters, educating the public and shaping the debate require concise and directed communication. Let us help your nonprofit or advocacy group tell its story and connect with crucial stakeholders and influencers to advance your cause with content or training.
