Human to human

Going Deeper

As a person with a Type 2 Enneagram profile (the Helper) and a Human Design profile of Manifestor, it’s a baseline of my being to thoughtfully and effectively move concepts into action and nurture those actions into measurable results.


My leadership style is heavily informed by connection and supported by my certified coaching background.

Favorite Strategies

GTM Strategy for HealthTech Brand


During my tenure with the Accelity Marketing Agency, I had the honor of developing a full-scale go-to-market strategy for the Fortune 1000 B2B SaaS company who was looking to aggressively grow their pipeline and reduce deal-to-close timeframe.


The solution: optimize, educate, nurture, and convert.


Excerpt of Campaign brief


Sustainable fashion brand required guidance for their multi-brand launch.

Through blog posts, email campaigns, and social media activations, the multi-phase 16-week launch prioritized building name recognition by telling their brand story to designers and future shoppers.


*Due to NDA, only an excerpt version of their campaign brief is viewable.

Working in a Group

Re-engagement campaign


Client's Situation: There was a segment of the database categorized as closed/lost leads for various reasons. After reviewing, we determined there were many who simply weren't ready to move forward at that time. We would like to bring these leads back and drive conversion, through the campaign: "Now is the TIME".


A specific win that Whitney helped me professionally achieve was guiding me to want to make designs better for the sake of the client instead of just doing it for a paycheck.

Nate Panetti

Whenever we end a (strategy) session, I feel motivated and pumped to get started. I feel like I was given quality advice and leadership.


My specific win that you helped me accomplish was successfully launching my online (course) program and strategy workbook! - (Reclaim Yourself)


Whitney, you have a way of making people feel valued and heard.
