All you have to do is show up ready to think out loud.
In Mighty Messaging Strategy, I’m your brand therapist, messaging detective, and language technician.
Together, we’ll discover, develop, define, and document the brilliant brand hiding in your everyday business.
You’ll start making bold moves and doing the big stuff you’ve been putting off—pitching bigger clients, revamping websites, sharpening offers, adding services, raising prices—all because you’ve finally solved the mystery of what to say and how to say it.
Is this what you’ve been looking for?
We’ll both know after a quick chat.

At the very least, our call will get you thinking critically about your brand.

Your business is growing and you’re ready to kick things into high gear.
But when it comes to putting words around what makes you awesome, you stumble; or worse- confuse the people you need to charm.
- You need to nail your next big thing: a new website, social media calendar, important presentation, speaking engagement, grand opening, or product launch, and you need it to pack a punch.
- You invested in a rebrand that fluffed up your logo and colors, but the “what to say” and “why it matters” parts still feel muddy. You need some clear direction to bring it to life.
- You (or your company) suffer from impostor syndrome and you’d give anything to feel more confident and competitive in your market.
- You know your business so well that you can’t see the label from inside the bottle. You need objective help to define the brand within the business.
- Multiple people are speaking or writing for your business, and your brand voice sounds like an off-key middle school choir. You need everyone harmonizing in perfect pitch so people can recognize your song (and hum along).
- You hate outsourcing your content or design because nobody “gets” your business; the good stuff gets lost in translation. You need a “Brand Care and Feeding Manual” you can point everyone to.
- You’ve spent a lot of time trying to sound like businesses you admire, and it got you this far. Now it’s time to toss the training wheels and start acting like the confident, capable business you are.
You’re ready for some serious “what to say and how to say it” clarity.
You want an objective, clear picture of who you are, what you do, and why the hell it matters… so you can give your brand a swift slap on the butt and get on with growing that business you love.
If this is you, Mighty Messaging Strategy should absolutely be on your radar.
100% tried and true messaging magic, no buzzword bullshit.
Let’s see if Mighty Messaging Strategy is for you.
This is a zero-pressure Zoom call, by the way. We might even solve some of your issues on the spot, or at least get your wheels turning in a new direction.
Maybe you’ll see my dog wander through in the background.
That’d be worth it, right?
What does “after”
look like?
- You’re 100% sure about your secret sauce and core competencies
- You’ve unpacked the “I know who we are and what we’re about” baggage for your entire team (now and future) to use
- You can actually pass things off because you know exactly how to direct writers, designers, and other content creators who connect you with your audience(s)
- You’re excited about how your business shows up online and in person
- You’ve sharpened your brand’s promises and shortened your sales cycle (Yes!)
- You know your audience better than ever and you’re clear on what they (really) want from you and vice versa
- You’ve tightened up your service offerings and are super clear on their value and selling angles
- You have your messaging points defined, organized, and clearly documented just one click away so you can copy, paste, and share exactly what you need
- You’re using your Quick Pitch Framework like an old pro, nailing everything from emails and proposals to presentations and website copy
- You’re writing your own day-to-day content in-house without blinking an eye because you have a mini library of words, phrases, topics, and ideas at your fingertips
- You finally feel confident writing, talking, and posting about your business and what you have to offer, because you know exactly how and why it’s valuable.
(Feels mighty fine, doesn’t it?)
If you’re looking for traditional branding, keep on walking.
Most “branding” formulas toss a few generic key words your way, mix in some empty flattery to fluff you up, and jump right into the sexy, flashy visuals: logos, colors, fonts, layouts, photo shoots. You get a PDF slide deck that looks good, says nothing.
(I know, because I’ve helped create a slew of them with different agencies over the years).
Mighty Messaging Strategy is the opposite of that.
It’s about untangling the guts of your brand FIRST, defining the messaging points that put the wind in your brand’s sails, and using that clarity to build better… well, everything else.
Mighty Messaging Strategy is
- An objective, meet-you-where-you-are messaging strategy makeover
- A just-for-you online resource packed with clear messaging tools you can use right away
- A 1:1 relationship with a seasoned strategist (me)
- The prerequisite for copywriting and creative direction with me
- A customized process for zeroing in on what makes your business awesome without covering up what makes you you
- Built (and priced) for creative entrepreneurs and underdog businesses
Mighty Messaging Strategy isn’t
- A down-to-the-studs rebrand
- A marketing silver bullet (sorry, that’s not a thing)
- A mastermind group, coaching program, or canned digital course
- A pretty brand deck that’s more splash than substance
- A visual “paint job” product with logos, colors, and type treatments
- A bank-breaking investment made for the big corporate clients
Here’s how it works:
1. Session Prep
You (and your team) get online access to my specific set of brand messaging exercises. You’ll start thinking objectively about your brand: where it’s been, where it is now, and where you want it to go.
I’ll use your responses to create a tailored framework for our Messaging Intensive session.
2. Messaging Intensive
We’ll spend a day working 1:1 to answer the big, meaty brand identity questions that will become the framework for your brand identity. This isn’t a fluffy guided workSHOP; it’s a roll-up-your-sleeves, get-into-it workDAY.
I’ll guide you toward strategic, creative decisions in three vital areas: Brand positioning, strategic messaging, and voice/personality.
3. Brand Manual
I’ll organize, document and translate all of the brand brilliance from our Messaging Intensive into your comprehensive Brand Manual. Forget your grandma’s clunky slide deck; this is a fully functional mini-site designed by my amazing partners and housed at its own URL.
Reference, copy, paste, and share to your heart’s content.
What’s in the Manual, you ask? We’ll talk about it on our call. Book yours here.
You choose your session style.

I’m Betsy.
Mighty Messaging Strategy was born because as a copywriter and creative director, I needed a practical “brand owner’s manual” that stretched beyond colors and fonts. Something that outlined what a brand stood for, how it behaved, what it sounded like, and what in the world it was trying to say to the world. A tool to make my job easier.
I didn’t find it, so I made it.
And I quickly realized this message-shaping tool wasn’t about getting what *I* needed. It was actually a powerful process for sharpening my clients’ brand and business vision.
Mighty Messaging Strategy came together like a cartoon snowball over about a decade, picking up bits and pieces inspired by my clients’ real-world needs. It’s all grown up now: a bigger, smarter, strategically collaborative process for helping entrepreneurs clean up their messaging quickly and efficiently, top to bottom, no costly rebrand required.
Mighty Messaging Strategy is a road-tested process created, curated and adapted from best practices and ideas across all sorts of industries over 18+ years in this business. Sprinkle my experience and intuition on top and there you go – that’s the not-so-secret recipe.
I’ve used this approach to help nimble startups zero in on their singular magic and guide big, bulky corporations toward strategic brand consensus. It’s a versatile, adaptable process with endless possibilities; my favorite application is helping established entrepreneurs sharpen their voices and position for the next big thing.
(After all, I’m an entrepreneur, too).
