BRAND MESSAGING
VERBHOUSE CREATIVE
Back in 2020—the year of the pivot for us all—creative queen, photographer, and deeply soulful, Allie Morris Nute found herself in a conundrum. She’d built a successful business working with small product-based businesses. BUT most people looked to her for social media services, which is not what she wanted to be known for. In her first reach-out she mentioned wanting to be confident in showing up again, in understanding how to communicate her real desires in business, and to clearly articulate her worth in terms of services, among other things. Her words directly: I'd love for the swirly mess inside of my brain to transform into a more clear, straight-ish path, paved with more understanding of my own message.
"Kim is a challenger and a curator of beauty and brilliance. She has this soft skill of seeing things in people that they aren’t capable of seeing themselves and drawing those up and out to the help them become the next version of themselves." 
We plowed forward with a message accelerator day, providing Allie with much-needed focus and momentum. Having someone do for her what she does for clients all day was a gift she’d never given herself and huge insights resulted. By asking the right questions, pushing her to articulate the business she deeply desired, and letting go of some elements of what she’d built, we came up with a clear and actionable messaging framework. I communicated back to her—through our time together and in written messaging—what stood out as her competitive advantage, narrowed into four key message pillars, and delivered 20+ content starters that would get her past the blank page. In the months that followed she right-sized her business, removed social media from her menu of services, and finally engaged with her great love of writing again.
