"Kristine helped take my fledgling DIY brand and fine-tune it for the larger market place. Her insights helped clarify my brand’s message, unify its story and voice and made it easier for my team to confidently present to retailers. As a result we’ve not only landed on many store shelves but we’re moving our sauces off of store shelves too- and into shopping carts!"

“Before meeting Kristine, our company was struggling to create a brand identity. Our company has a huge social component tackling food insecurity in Canada, and it was difficult to find the right way to showcase and incorporate our social objective and products through the brand. Kristine listened to our needs carefully, and created the brand identity, positioning, and values from scratch! We are amazed by the creativity and quality of her work. Wouldn’t know what to do without her!”

Strategy and Tactics:
"We came to Kristine with a grand vision but no products or experience. She wrangled our big ideas into marketable goods. Best of all, through this process, she grew our vision rather than forcing compromises. She jumped in to do the work that needed to be done and was respectful of startup costs, helping us make strategic decisions about spending."
