“Beulah's brilliance in visioning brand values and creating a compelling brand narrative is nothing short of phenomenal. I cannot overstate the impact she has made on our brand and the confidence we now have in making our elevator pitch. We had lots of ideas about what our brand was, and we knew our values with certainty, but still struggled to communicate our brand story in a clear and confident way. The brand story and core messaging that she created are very authentic to who we are as a company and how we want to be viewed by others. ”
