“Anita’s work around our key messages was critical in helping us to finally arrive at an articulate and precise detailing of who we are, what we do, and why it matters. Her work ethic is top-level, she will pursue the heart of the subject with great attention to detail, until she arrives at full and thorough messaging that is clear, engaging, and on-brand.  The cost of Anita’s service is negligible in comparison to the value she delivers. I could not recommend her more highly.” 
Polly Stepan Moore, CEO, Restore the Music.
