Branding
Based on a true story. Yours.
“Branding adds spirit and a soul to what would otherwise be a robotic, automated, generic price-value proposition. If branding is ultimately about the creation of human meaning, it follows logically that it is the humans who must ultimately provide it.” – David Aaker

Branding helps tell your story. Your story is what sets you apart. It must effectively convey who you are and what your business does. It needs to exude trust, integrity, and be unique, yet relatable and above all else, memorable. I’ve helped dozens of brands tell their story. I’d be honored to help you with yours.

Testimonials
One could search the world over and never find a more extraordinary businesswoman. Her ideas are applause-worthy because they are fresh & work powerfully. Through Melissa’s tireless efforts in branding my business, I now have an exceptional primo website store. Words which describe Melissa & my experience hiring her: Unmatched, Dazzling, Uplifting and Unforgettable!
-JoAnna Mertz
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 Banos
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.
-Margaret Ciuzelis
