Red Slice is a brand and marketing consultancy that strategically advises organizations on how to build fresh brands and create juicy marketing strategies. I help people tell their story. My eclectic mix of creativity and business savvy serves as a fresh perspective to guide you on how to engage, inform and delight your customers so they keep coming back for more. And unlike other marketing coaches, I have a network of talented specialists at the ready who can help you turn the strategies into action. Oh, I'm also a published wine writer with columns on www.intowine.com and www.examiner.com and an actress in what spare time I don't devote to my clients.

Storytelling (and helping others tell their own juicy story). Delighting audiences. Coaching. Brainstorming. Coming up with fresh strategies that others don't see. Teaching. Presenting. Writing.
