Effective communication isn’t in saying what needs to be said. It’s in knowing what needs to be heard.


Fractional Brand Leadership

Keeping you consistent & effective

Knowing who you are and communicating it to your audience are two very different things. You need to be able to set your standards and then maintain (and enforce!) them— all while targeting your audience in ways that matter to them.

While voices and brands compete for influence and authority, we have to put in work if we hope to be heard. Based in the belief that effective communication doesn't happen by chance, this book introduces people to a pathway toward better thinking and better ideas about communication. Before everything else comes the essential call to take time to be brief.

  • Our team recently had the opportunity to spend a day with AJ. The experience was a game changer for our top leaders. He challenged our communication in a fun and clever way that will stick with our team. I am convinced we are better at what we do for sitting under AJ’s unique abilities.

    -Brian, FCA Regional Vice President

  • This experience has been nothing short of amazing, and that's no understatement. AJ is miraculous when helping craft language, illuminate market possibilities, enhance vision, and get "dead" projects moving. His expertise brings clarity, insight, truth, and opportunity to your organization and platform. He wants you to win, and that's exactly who you want at the helm of a new launch, branding change, or product strategy.
    -Marius M., Business Owner

  • AJ has been a long-time partner and fractional marketing lead in a few of my businesses over the years. AJ has provided consistent, creative brand leadership that has helped me differentiate my businesses (Real estate brokerage and Business Coaching) and creatively position and communicate my brand. AJ has consistently been able to bring clarity and language to things we had struggled with for years. His work wasn’t just creative, it was also practical and effective.

    -Josh S., Business Coach

  • Any transition in leadership and direction comes with the difficult task of setting the brand trajectory of an organization without compromising the DNA of what makes it unique and effective. AJ was the ideal partner for our organization over the course of the transition in leadership and rebrand and into the continued management of our brand and marketing execution. We’re in a strong and well-managed position because of the work AJ does alongside us and on our behalf.

    -Michelle, CEO

  • AJ has an incredible knack for saying what you want to say better than you can say it yourself. During our process, there were times AJ would say something like, “Here’s what I’m hearing.” And I would respond, “Man, that was perfect. You nailed it.” AJ would simply reply, “You said it,” or “I’m just saying what you said.” His ability to crystallize core messaging authentically is a true superpower.

    -Skip J., Scale Architect & Business Advisor

Practical, human, effective storytelling

It’s not that we don’t have a story. It’s that we don’t know it enough to tell it well.

Passing over the good parts.
Making too much of the bad parts.

A good story takes work…
to discover and to tell.
