Melissa is such a joy to work with. Many people like to call themselves ‘branding experts’, but Melissa is the real deal and is the absolute BEST at what she does. She has been a great mentor to me both personally and professionally.

I never really paid much attention to the words ‘brand therapist’ until now. I just completed my project with Melissa and she was exactly that. She helped me communicate all the wonderful aspects of my business, put it into writing in a very powerful way, and created a safe space for the two of us to give feedback and talk about the changes that needed to get done. To say she was absolutely lovely and easy to work with, is an understatement. I could not have imagined a better person to have done the job. She is super talented, super efficient, and oozes kindness all along the way. Melissa Bolton is a gem!

Melissa Bolton is the absolute Queen of Branding! As a clinical psychologist myself, I am in awe of her amazing psychology-based branding systems and how well they translate into targeting your customers and understanding your own branding process. She is able to think outside the box and use her extensive experience to help you establish and fine tune your brand, sales approach and company’s goals. You won’t be sorry if you consult with her.

Melissa’s knowledge & expertise are what you would require if you were super critical of your business as am I. She doesn’t leave anything to chance as her expectations of perfection for your business are equal to your own. I was overly super impressed with her desire to give ‘only’ the best results. With Melissa it’s not about money it’s about giving you what you paid for. Her integrity makes you feel completely at ease without any of the stresses one gets accustomed to when developing a new business. Without hesitation I would hire Melissa again for future work & recommend her to anyone that only wants perfection.

Melissa has an incredible gift for conversing and listening in such a way that she will effortlessly draw out the bigger picture of who you are—your values, strengths, personal aesthetic, overall business vision and then mirror that picture back to you, so that you arrive at a better knowledge of yourself and a brand vision so relevant, congruent and seamlessly integrated you’re left wondering where it came from. She is genuine, approachable and powerfully intuitive—she grasps the essence of you, connects you to yourself, and in so doing, unleashes and empowers your vision. This is so much more than ‘just a brand consult’ – it’s the distillation of your vision into pure and workable form.

Working with Melissa was an absolute delight. She has a way with words that simply embody your voice and style without imposing her views. She proactively offers suggestions and ideas that impact your copywriting and business growth in areas you might not have thought about. She was able to pick up on my style within the first few exchanges and produce product descriptions and a personal bio exactly how I envisioned them and would have done if I could string words together as beautifully as she does. Her attention to quality is impeccable. She’ll take whatever “brain dump” you have, mix it up in her magic blender and churn out great copy that is YOU. Cannot wait to work with her again.

Staying on top of the game is so important in these areas, and Melissa is constantly educating herself on new techniques.

Picture yourself having coffee with an old friend, but this friend knows everything there is to know about being successful in business. She shares it all with you because she wants nothing more than for you to succeed at your goals. This is what it is like working with Melissa. She is warm, funny, genuine, and a kick-ass businesswoman all rolled into one incredible business consultant! So, my advice to you? Run, don’t walk to work with her. You’re welcome!
