Lis Brand
Founder & Principal
Hi! I’m Lis Brand. For the past 25 years, I’ve had the privilege of helping businesses find their footing, sharpen their voice, and grow into what they were always meant to be.
My background is in marketing and PR, with a deep focus on brand management, creative direction, and strategy that actually gets executed. I’ve been lucky enough to do work I’m proud of, including earning several national awards for branding, creative direction, and strategy along the way. But honestly, what drives me most is the moment a business owner sees their brand finally click – and realizes where they can go from here.
I studied Journalism at The Ohio State University, which taught me to find the real story in everything. My MBA in Organizational Change and Leadership from Tiffin University gave me the framework to help businesses not just grow, but evolve.
If you’re here, you’re probably ready for something to change. I’d love to help you get your shift together!
