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.

  • Step away from frustration over how to convey the impact of your work.
  • Show up with what you DO know and we’ll fill in the rest together.

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.

Kind Words

The investment is more than worth the money.

Maggie teaches with love and wisdom. The investment is more than worth the money. Every week [of Be Understood Brand Strategy Program] is full of gems for each participant. Its hard to pick the best thing, but if I have to it would be: Eye Opening. It really clarified my voice and the community was beautiful.

Now I'm confident & excited to talk about what makes us different from other Dog Daycare companies because I know those differences MATTER to our clients.

Before I built our brand strategy with Maggie, I was nervous & overwhelmed about how to grow my company, Bark Avenue, in a way that was aligned with my values and goals. Now I’m confident & excited to talk about what makes us different from other Dog Daycare companies. Working with Maggie, I really learned a lot about how to talk about what we do and I feel more confident as a business owner now.

Working with Maggie, we built a brand for my clients that is aligned with what’s important to me! 

I wanted more clarity around how I present myself to customers and why I stand out from the crowd of colleagues in my area. Working with Maggie, we built a brand for my clients that is aligned with what’s important to me! I learned: not only do I have permission to embrace what I love/want out of life and incorporate that into my business, but that’s what makes my brand distinct and attractive. Maggie is awesome to work with. So fun and engaging and encouraging, but also a stickler when needed (those darn client interviews!)
