A Marketing Partner
Where vision meets execution
Helping established businesses elevate their brand, presence, and client acquisition.
Our Approach
At Summit & Sage, marketing is not about doing more — it’s about doing the right things with clarity and intention.
Many businesses don’t have a visibility problem — they have a clarity problem.
When your message, positioning, and presence aren’t aligned, even strong businesses struggle to consistently attract the right clients.
Clarity → Positioning → Conversion
Clarity
Define who you serve, what you solve, and why it matters — so your business is immediately understood.
Positioning
Refine how you show up — visually, verbally, and strategically — so your brand builds trust and authority.
Conversion
Optimize your digital presence and content so it doesn’t just exist —it works for you.
Attracting, guiding, and converting the right clients.
The Lost-to-Leads Framework
At Summit & Sage, I bring strategy and storytelling together to help businesses grow with clarity and intention.
I founded this studio to bridge a gap I saw often — businesses doing exceptional work, but not showing up in a way that reflects their true value. Too often, marketing can become noise. My approach is different: I help businesses clarify what sets them apart and translate that into a presence that attracts the right clients and opportunities.
With a background in marketing and communications, and experience leading brand strategy, design, and content, I’ve worked across industries to build brands that feel both elevated and effective.
From social enterprises like Farms Work Wonders to community-driven institutions like The Business Bank, I’ve led creative direction that turns ideas into clear, credible identities.
Summit & Sage exists to give growing businesses a strategic partner — someone who can refine how they show up, strengthen their positioning, and support their next stage of growth.
When you work with us, you’re not getting a traditional agency.
You’re getting a partner who listens carefully, thinks strategically, and executes with intention so your business not only looks the part — but stops leaving money on the table.

Our Services
Strategic Consulting + Analysis
Our Core Offering
We bring clarity to the decisions that shape your growth. Through a focused analysis of your brand, positioning, and market, we identify where opportunities are being missed and where alignment is needed.
Clients walk away with a clear strategic direction — knowing what to prioritize, what to refine, and how to move forward in a way that drives stronger positioning and revenue.
Web Design + Audits
Your website should do more than exist — it should convert. We audit and refine (or redesign) your site to ensure your messaging, structure, and user experience are working together to guide action.
The result is a digital presence that builds trust quickly and turns attention into qualified leads.
This is a limited offering, with referrals available when needed.
Branding + Design
We create brands that are not only cohesive and elevated, but clear in what they communicate. From identity development to refined visual systems, every element is designed to strengthen how you are perceived and understood.
The outcome is a brand that builds authority, resonates with the right audience, and supports consistent client acquisition.
Sponsorship + Market Decks
When the opportunity matters, clarity and presentation are everything. We develop strategic, visually compelling decks that communicate your value with precision — whether for partnerships, sponsorships, or expansion.
Each deliverable is structured to build confidence, strengthen your positioning, and help you secure the opportunities that drive growth.
Professional Photography
Your visual presence should match the level of your business. We capture intentional, elevated imagery — from headshots to brand and event photography — that integrates seamlessly into your overall brand.
The result is a cohesive visual identity that reinforces trust, authority, and credibility across every platform.
Who We Work With
We work with established service-based businesses and professional firms who are looking for a premium marketing partner to solve client acquisition struggles through strategic communication, branding, and system optimization.
And Where
We primarily partner with businesses across Vermont and the Mid-Atlantic region, including Northern Virginia, West Virginia, and Maryland.
Our work is designed to meet you where it’s most effective— whether through on-site collaboration or a fully remote engagement.
We also understand we’re not the right fit for every business.
Schedule a complimentary 15-minute introductory call to determine if there’s alignment.
If not, we’re always happy to connect you with trusted referrals.
