Linda Stephens – strategy. messaging. marketing.

A brand is something special.

That’s the idea, right? Stand out. Be seen. Captivate. Engage.

Differentiation lives at the core of your brand, at its most raw and genuine. My work reveals this golden nugget, polishes it to a rare sheen and then crafts a bespoke marketing approach that fits, just so.

“Linda is great at assessing and anticipating our needs as a company. She is helping us hone our brand and craft a consistent message, in our own voice. We will continue to work with Linda to build upon the foundation of our marketing and business development strategy.”

Dina GriffinPresident–Interactive Design Architects (IDEA)

“Linda assisted Bailey Edward Architecture in the completion of our brand audit, development of our brand tag line, assisted with refocusing our web site and outlined a business development approach. She did an excellent job of guiding us through a client survey, providing us with analytic information and summarizing our three key strengths: responsiveness, creativity and professionalism. Wrapping this up with our own internal SWOT, Linda used her greatest asset, writing, to create four levels of description for Bailey Edward that we use in our marketing materials including our tag line, Responsive Architecture.”

Ellen Bailey DicksonPresident–Bailey Edward

“Linda’s unique ability to capture a company’s true voice is one of her many strengths as a marketing professional. Linda provided a refreshing, candid, and constructive perspective in presenting Canopy / a+d’s mission and skills. Her guidance and support have quickly resulted in new opportunities for my emerging practice. As my firm continues to grow, I plan to keep surrounding myself with highly talented and gifted individuals such as Linda. Her comprehensive mindset, collaborative skills, and unyielding positivity will prove to be extremely valuable to those in need of an excellent marketing strategist.”

Jaime Torres CarmonaPrincipal and Owner–Canopy / Architecture + Design

“We hired Linda on three consecutive contracts and were delighted with the invaluable input that she provided to our Management and Business Development team. Her background provides her with the ability to speak on an expert level in the areas of Marketing, Sales and overall Business Development; areas which we consider unique and equally important. She provided us with the outline of our marketing plan which we continue to use daily.”

Joseph X. CushingSenior Vice President–Cushing & Co.

Linda led our firm through a collaborative and insightful brand positioning exercise that served to clarify our strengths in the marketplace, as well as identify new opportunities for growth. Linda helped us adapt these outcomes into a framework driving actionable marketing and business development initiatives designed to build business. She is now generating content each month and evolving our e-newsletter and social media activity to support our identified business objectives. I appreciate Linda’s insight, creativity and ability to translate her expertise into concrete steps forward for PLACE Consulting.
