Are you
future-proofing
your business to connect with audiences in ways they won’t call BS on?

is changing.

Are you?

The old ways of working are no longer working. And frankly, some of the old ways are actually working against you.

The traditional playbook for engaging communities—whether we’re talking target markets or your team members—just isn’t cutting it anymore. If you’re a marketer, creative leader, HR or DEI exec and you’re asking: How can we keep up? How do we develop meaningful relationships with millennials, Gen Z, Gen Alpha and underrepresented communities internally and externally — hmu. 

I’m here to revolutionize how businesses think about creativity, culture and everything in between. Next Level Up is a creatively-fueled, culturally intelligent consultancy focused on  building culturally intelligent teams and ideas that drive meaningful growth. I blend creative advertising principles, and inclusion best practices, and a globally-recognized CQ framework to develop better teams, better teamwork and better work. 

My mission is to help businesses and professionals evolve to meet the needs of culture and communities.

I bring over two decades of experience and a distinctive mix of empathy, imagination, insights and expertise in fostering culturally-intelligent ideas and environments. 

I work with marketing, creative, and people leaders to evolve their strategies and practices to navigate shifting social, cultural, and technological landscapes.

Call me for: Accelerators, Assessment & Action Plans, Workshops, Training & Resources, Pitch & Project Reviews, Creative Direction & Content Creation, 1:1 and Group Coaching.
