Traditionally, as an artist, entrepreneur or small business owner, a full-time marketing expert is out of the budget and out of the question.

But the times they are a'changing - you should have a passionate, curious expert to help you tell your story in a compelling, beautiful way.  Someone who has your back.  Someone to catch those spelling errors, suggest great content, and if need be, write it for you.  You deserve a communications expert to help you uncover your unique voice and define your value, whether you run a 150-person corporation or it's just you on the evenings and weekends making things run.  Whittle is a communications and marketing team, scaled to your modern needs. 

Let us tell your story. 

 

Storyteller

 

The business world has finally remembered the power of a story.  

If you study folklore, you find nearly every culture used stories to preserve history, values, purpose and identity.  My own heritage is famous for storytelling, sing-songs, and perhaps a bit of good old fashioned bluffing.  The Irish (and Irish-American) like nothing more than to share a drink, a story, and a laugh.  And perhaps that is the best thing I can tell you about myself: storytelling is in my blood.  At twelve, my dad told me I was a writer.  I took my first stab as an author that summer.  I graduated high school with twice the English credits required.  

A love for books and writing led me to the University of Washington, where through anthropology, folklore and literature classes, I studied the story as it ran through time and country, through apartheid and armistice.  I observed and absorbed the power of the story.  Since then, I have joined, grown and eventually led marketing teams for some great firms around the greater Seattle area.

But the story I'm crafting doesn't end there.  I'm dedicated to working with artists, entrepreneurs and small businesses to tell their stories to their internal team, to their clients, to their neighbors, even to their parents. Because truthfully, those are my favorite stories to hear.

Storytelling isn't just a catchphrase or a job title, for better or worse it's something your grandparents give you, something family dinners teach you. And if you fall in love with it, you just might dedicate a couple decades to learning how to craft the perfect tale.

At Whittle, we are all Storytellers - by blood, by passion, by craft.
