A Brand STRATEGY MAKES YOU MONEY

And it's a simple process

Be Understood Branding is on a mission to share the money-making power of a Brand Strategy with ALL WOMEN IN BUSINESS. Brand Strategies are built around how human attention works. And that information should be available to everyone. If that’s something you want to be part of, or you’ve ever wanted to understand branding, you’re in the right place.

Our Mission

I want your impact to expand. I want your work to BE UNDERSTOOD. If your ideal client can’t easily understand what you do, why you do it, why YOU and what’s in it for them, they won’t hire you.

A Brand Strategy from Be Understood Branding answers those questions.

Our Mission

I want your work in the world to BE UNDERSTOOD. If your ideal client can’t easily understand what you do, why you do it, why YOU and what’s in it for them, they won’t hire you.

A Brand Strategy from Be Understood Branding will help you get hired and grow.

I’m Maggie, a Brand Strategist.

I am unabashedly honest and empowering. I believe CLARITY via a Brand Strategy is the greatest shift you’ll see in your business growth.

I am spookily skilled at carving away vagueness, leaving clients with a TRUSTWORTHY, knowable, distinct and irresistible brand.

Speaking of being understood, here’s a little about me:

1. If you support LGBTQ+ rights and believe Black Lives Matter, you are my people. If you don’t? Please read these books then go to a quiet room and retrace your steps.

2. I’m originally from the Mitten State. When we meet, I will do the thing where I show you the location of my birth using my right palm and left index finger.

3. I have a BA in Government from Smith College and have worked in the Communication industry since 2000. I live with a four-legged insistent clown named Django and my husband in Chicago.

I’ve helped agencies, freelancers, entrepreneurs, and  teams, now it’s your turn.

Magic Maggie - as I call her - is a joy to work with!

I found myself excited about every session because Maggie presented the information in an engaging way and was able to provide cool, relevant examples that helped me really ‘get it’.

That light bulb moment when it became so much easier to explain WTF I do, why and how?

Maggie’s facilitation and wonderful program did that.
